The World is Your Color Palette
Often when you’re building a title, a motion graphic intro, or lower third, you work with a particular color palette. In the first lesson, Steve will show you how to use your iPhone or iPad to capture color palettes from anything around you, then bring that palette into Final Cut Pro X.
Create Awesome Looking 3D Titles
Final Cut Pro X’s built-in 3D text tool is unmatched for quickly creating cinema-quality 3D titles and motion graphics. You’ll learn how to make them even better by using 2 important plugins (both free), that will really wow your clients and viewers.
Publish Vector Graphics for FCP X
One of the advantages of working with vector graphics is that they are resolution independent, meaning that you can scale them infinitely without losing quality. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use Motion to publish vector graphics for Final Cut Pro X so that they maintain their scalability.
Customize 3rd-Party Templates
There are numerous stock sites that offer motion templates, but there is very little information on how to customize them for use in Final Cut Pro X. In lesson 7, you’ll learn how to deconstruct a template, then publish it’s parameters so that it can be easily manipulated to fit the creative requirements of your story.

Another 5 Star Review! Many great insights that fill in the gaps from the learning curve. I knew that you could customize 3rd Party Templates. MotionVFX has the best and almost anything you could think of that you’d need. Then Steve gives you more ideas by adding the built in Emojis and Symbols. A simple must have instructional insight!!!

Great tutorial by Steve. Full of hints, tips and techniques. I’m a long time user of FCPX but still found it very useful. Reminded me of techniques long forgotten and learned some new ones.
I’m a great fan of the format of the tutorial. Steve running it live gives the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers.

Great tutorial and webinar, was very interesting and helpful. Favorite section – edit Final Cut Pro’s onboard animated titles in Motion to create customized versions of those.
