Tutorial Overview

In this webinar, Larry Jordan showcases ten filters and transitions that can help fix problem footage using Boris Continuum Complete v7.

Final Cut Pro has a wide range of filters and effects that ship with the product. However, what makes Final Cut truly amazing is that it allows other companies to create plug-ins that extend the power of the program far beyond its original design. One of these is Boris Continuum Complete, v7, published by Boris FX.This software suite of tools contains over 200 transitions and filter effects that can create almost magical effects. In this webinar, Larry looks at the tools it provides to make things… disappear. What makes these tools even more helpful is that built into many of them is an automatic motion tracker that allows you to apply a correction, and have it automatically tracked where ever the subject moves in the frame.!For example, use Wire Removal to remove a skin blemish from an actress that is turning her head. Or, remove a seagull that flies into frame and spoils the shot. Or, create a color grade where everything in the frame is black-and-white, except a person’s face, then track that face as it moves in the frame.Along the way, Larry shows you three transitions that don’t exist in Final Cut, a better way to chroma-key than the filter built into FCP, how to smooth skin tones to reduce wrinkles, how to style the look of your video to make it look more like film, and how to add rack-focus blur effects to your footage.In each of these cases, Larry shows you exactly the steps to take to create the exact same effects for yourself. He illustrates what works, and what to avoid. And he gives you clear before and after results so you can easily compare what each effect will look like.
