How to defocus the video clip ?

Hi all FCPX experts,
I want to start a video clip at defocus state and slowly moving towards the focus stage.
What effects should I use to keyframe it ?
Thanks

I don't see why the Guassian (Blur) effect couldn't do what you want. Keyframe the Amount slider.
Motion has some intereresting tools for this.

  • Nokia 3110 c : How to transfer the Video Clip Fold...

    My handset model is Nokia 3110C. The memory of which is around 32~34 MB. I have installed Memory Card of 2GB. Currently, the Video Clip Folder can accommodate only 8 MB maximim. The Files dowmloaded can not save beyond 8 MB. But my SD can hold upto 50 MB.
    It will be wise to transfer the Video Clip Folder to SD to enhance memory space to 3110C.
    Can any learned user guide me  as to - how  to transfer present Video Clip folder or its contents FROM 'My Galler' Folder TO SD Folder ?

  • How to retrieve the video clip accidentally deleted on iPad 2

  • What is the best way to manage the file space given how much GB the video clips use up?

    I just downloaded a years worth of video off my HD camera.  I took up 125 GB on my hard drive.  What is the best way to manage this content going forward as there will be a lot more video to come in future years with small children!

    rule of thumb:
    SDef ~13GBs/h
    HDef ~30-40GBs/h ...
    latest investment of mine:
    ext.HDD, usb2 (=I have no trouble using usb2 for editing my short projects), 1.5TB=70€  ...
    ... which adds to ~4.2TB for my hobby, incl. back-up drives ...

  • How do I transfer video clips from iPhoto to iDVD? I followed the instructions in the help section but it did not work.

    I would like to make a DVD from video clips I took of my Grandchildren. I went to the help section and it stated to click on the video clip, then click 'share' and choose 'send to iDVD'. That option was not available on the share button. How to I transfer to iDVD. Thanks for any help.

    Do you plan to put each video clip in iDVD to be playes separately?  If so then here's how:
    1 - open iDVD and select your theme. 
    2 - click on the Media button at the bottom right and then on the Photo button at the top.
    3 - in the search window type in ".mov" (or the extension of the video clips you plan to use).
    4 - all of the video clips with the extension you entered will be displayed and you can drag them into the menu area at the left. 
    Another way would be to put all of the video clips in an Album and click on that album to view and drag the clips:
    Remember, the order that they are added to the menu will be the order that the buttons will highlight when you scroll thru the buttons with a DVD player remote.
    This will give you a menu with a separate button for each video clip (up to 12 in a menu with some themes).
    If you want to play all of the clips one after another you could create a slideshow in iDVD with the "+" button at the bottom and drag the video clips into the slideshow as you would still photos.  Set the slide duration to anything but manual and don't apply any transition.
    That will let you play all of the clips sequentially.

    just got fcp, how do mute the sound on the video clip so it does not come through the audio track?

    Don't edit the audio into the timeline. Or pull the audio level down to zero in the inspector or on the audio waveform in the timeline.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
    A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
    You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.

  • How can I lock video clips to the timeline?

    Hello Apple discussion.
    I know that holding down the command key disable ripping when triming.
    But that doesn't work when deleting clips. It would be useful to lock videoclips to the timeline, so they keep their position.
    Lock audio to playhead doesn't help the situation.
    Thank you for your time
    Attila

    You cannot lock a video clip to the timeline. The program is designed so that when you delete a video clip, the other clips slide over to fill the gap. Otherwise you would have holes all over your project, or have to manually move them over. You would want to lock the audio clips to the non-deleted video clips, so that the audio slides over with them.
    If you want to preserve the gap left by a deleted video clip, first insert in front of it a black clip of the same exact duration, and then delete the video clip. The black clip would hold all of the other clips in position, but leave you with a black hole to fill or delete. To make a black clip, separate two video clips on the timeline, and control-click on the empty space. In the resulting drop down menu, select Convert Empty Space to Clip. Then control-click on the black clip and in the resulting window adjust the time duration by overwriting the values in the time box and then clicking the Set button.

  • How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?

    How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?
    I have already created and shared one movie project from the clips and from photos but now want to make another. However, when i go to the library it only shows me the content of the first project, including the photos, not all of the video clips i originally imported. I can't believe that I need to import them all again.

    It seems to me that you must have imported your clips using iMovie 9, (that's why they are all in the Events folder which belongs to iMovie 9).  Then you must have upgraded your current project to iMovie 10 which will have put the clips used in that project (but not all the others) into your iMovie 10 library.  iMovie 10 has a totally different storage arrangement for media.  You should be able to update your other iMovie 9 projects by choosing File > Update Projects  and Events in iMovie 10.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov902ad0c31
    This does not stop you from continuing to use the projects in iMovie 9 though any further editing you do will not be transferred to the other version of iMovie.

  • Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip?  I shot it so that it is sideways on my computer screen and I cant figure out how to rotate it.

    Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto?  I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it.  Thanks.

    You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

  • How do you add video clips to an iPhoto slideshow?

    I've made a slideshow for my daughter's graduation. I tried to include a couple of video clips in it, but when the slideshow gets to the first one the screen goes black and the video doesn't play. How do I do this the correct way? I use iPhoto '11

    Do the video clips play in iPhoto at all? 
    What theme for the slideshow are you using? 
    Where are the video clips from?
    Are you using any transitions between slides particularly the video clip? 
    Have you tried putting the video clip in a slideshow by itself and see if it will play?
