How to achieve the distort motion effect ala Final Cut Pro in Premiere CS4?

Newbie here.
I have just recently started with video editing. In Final Cut Pro I have the option to distort a still image in the motion/effects panel. In premiere cs4 I only find the option to scale it up/down without the option to individually distort the four corners. Does anyone know how this can be done in premiere cs4?
The effect i am going for is the same as in Apples presentation of iPad. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/specialevent0110/
I have an presentation wich I need to insert all the slides from the powerpoint presentation in the video.
Any help would be appreciated. ( I have searched around for an solution, but without results)
Regards T

Here is a resource, that deserves a bookmark, the PrPro-Wiki. Plenty of great FAQ articles and tutorials.
I see the "Distort" part of the Effect in FCP, but the "Motion" aspect was throwing me. I kept thinking Posterize Time, and that is anything but what you were looking for. That's why I was going to head to Google for the FCP Help files, or similar.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I turn on the GUI controls for the Focus Blur Effect in Final Cut Pro X

I can't find the setting that enables the GUI control overlay to manipulate the parameters of the Focus blur effect in Final Cut Pro X. When I have the clip and the focus effect selected I only get a center element overlay. At one point I had controls for all the other elements of this effect.
anyone know a shortcut or how I can toggle these controls back on?

I don't see any other screen controls either.
Maybe there was a change sometime, or maybe you were using a different effect?

Many thanks!

In the Timeline position your Playhead at the starting position.
In the Viewport position the Shape Mask at the starting position.
In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
Press Control-V to open the Animation Editor to see your keyframes.
Move the Playhead and the Shape Mask to a new position.
In the Inspector click the Add Keyframe button.
Continue adding keyframes until you have defined the Shape Mask’s movement.

You might get a more knowledgeable answer if you post in the actual Pro Applications forums - the FCP users hang out there:

How do you match the audio and text with the typer writer effect in Final Cut Pro?

I am making a video and I want to sync up the text with the audio using the typer writer effect. For example I want when the music makes a bing noise I want a letter to pop up. How do you set the exact time for each letter that comes up instead of just choosing the duration.
Thank you!!!!

The most common cause is user error in understanding how these things are recorded in the acquisition system. You've got to first determine in it's easily solved by properly transcoding or if you're actually just seeing a display lag. Mismatched sync is based on different timebase scales so the offset gets worse the longer a clip plays.
The most common solution is to unlink the components, time them precisely to the frame, and change the speed of one component to match precisely the length of the other. It's easy and usually results in a slight pitch change that is indiscernible.
But you want to figure out the cause, not just he solution, so you can fix it in production instead of in post.

How to get film count down effect in Final Cut Pro?

I have seen movies that start with like the old nostalgic 3, 2, 1, with a circle around the numbers as it counts down to the start of the movie or other film starting counts that I would love to put to the beginning of some movies.
Where can I find them?

It's an extra on the FCP disk. Go to Extras/Head Leaders for Cinema Tools/Leader Project.
Open the project and copy the leader from the appropriate timebase to put in your sequence.
However, if you are looking for old "film" leader, then do a google search for Academy Leader. Lots of companies like Digital Juice will sell the film leader.

Ingesting xa20 slow motion footage into final cut 7 or premiere

does canon have step-by-step instructions for ingesting xa20 slow motion footage into final cut 7 or premiere?

Hi davidframe!
Thanks for posting.
Not having made those applications themselves, Canon does not have step-by-step instructions for bringing slow motion footage into Final Cut Pro or Premiere. However, I am sure either Apple or Adobe have some helpful instructions they can provide if you contact them directly.

Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
Please Help

What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

Melting mirror effect in Final cut pro 7

Hi Guys,
I finally managed to get a tutorial which teaches me how to make the demon face effect but its in motion not in final cut pro.. but anyways I wanted to know if any of you guys know how to melt a mirror in final cut pro??
-A

You can't -as in there's no magic button for it.
There might well be third party plugins that can do something along those lines.
But why pay for them? You already have Motion.
Time to get the Motion manual out.

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution?

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution? I'm using it for a taser sequence.

Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

Is there an easier way to work with adobe after effects and final cut pro x

I use adobe after effects and I am thinking about deleting motion and compressor ( I can always install again). If you have a good reason to keep those apps let me know because I don't want to be hasty. If I delete them and stick with after effects and final cut pro... Is there a secret to easy working between FCPX and adobe after effects?
Thanks

You'll go from FCP X to and from Motion a lot easier than AE. Motion does pretty much anything AE does, most of the time faster and easier. Without Motion, you can't do custom templates. You can't customize the encoding of files without Compressor. Why would you want to remove them from your system? Leave them, use AE if you want along side of them. But I'd learn Motion first. Cause AE doesn't read FCPXML, so going back and forth between them is a PITA.
And until Apple releases the round trip between FCP X and Motion fully, we have this gem:

Delete Motion template from Final Cut Pro 7?

I installed a Motion template to use in a video, but there is something wrong with the template because it causes Final Cut Pro to crash every time I use it. It was almost impossible to remove the template from the video I was making because every time the template was clicked on, Final Cut Pro would freeze for a while and almost always end unexpectedly.
I don't really need the template so I'd like to just remove it. I cannot find a file or folder with the same name as the template in Finder anywhere. How do I delete this template?
I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Motion 4.

If you actually installed the M4 template, it should be in:
Library > Application Support > Final Cut Studio > Motion > Templates > (and you might need to figure out which one of the folders you find in there it is actually installed in.) With FCP closed, you can move it to another location (and trash the file in this path if "moving" it just makes a copy which will happen if you move it to another drive.)
FCPStudio allows you to apply a Motion Project right into the timeline... that would be different than installing it. Getting rid of that might mean you should find the original project and move it (or zip it up to save a copy) then trash the original.
What you should do is modify the template in Motion 4 for your timeline, then Export it. Make sure you set the Export option to ProRes 4444 and that Color + Alpha (for transparency) is selected in the Render Pane of the export dialog. You can then apply the output video to your FCP project.

Motion Markers To Final Cut Pro

Hi Ther Folks,
I designed a composition in Motion, but, I have to do some edit in Final Cut. To help me out, I set some markers to remind me what goes where. I exported it as a .mov, using Compressor, but when I tried to import it in Final Cut, none of the markers were there!
What am I doing wrong? Is there any how to get Motion markers inside Final Cut Pro?
Thank You
PS: Using the Final Cut Studio 2 Suite

Markers in FCP will show up when sent to Motion (which is the typical workflow) but not the other way around. However, your markers will show up in the Quicktime movie you export, so you could use those as a reference.

Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Sebastian

The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.
