Echo Effect

Can someone point me in the direction on how to do this is FCP please, if it is even possible. I also have motion but still on a big learning curve.

Thanks

I know a tutorial for FCPX/Motion users is in production at the moment. Will post when done.

Great thanks for letting me know

Hey, BenB, did you complete the tutorial for this effect? Didn't see anything on FCX guru or here yet.

I'm not doing one myself, not what I said. I said I've heard of someone working on one. I'm still waiting to see when it is posted.

Hi Ben, in another thread you announced a tutorial on what they called "future freeze" - seems like something close to this effect here. Any news on that? I'm really looking forward to it.

I called my demo 'future freeze', this one? ...

And, no, I hadn't announced a tutorial... not sure, the Motion Projects exists anymore on any of my drives..? ... wouldn't promise, actually tons of 'real life' work to do, but maybe I can post within a week a sort-of MakingOf ...

But Ben is a by far a better teacher... I'm good in painting red arrows :lol:

Yeah, you mentioned the name, Karsten. In a different thread that I can't find. And I think in that thread Ben also mentioned a tutorial he or someone around him worked on. Would be cool. Will check yours now, thanks!

Looks like, Ben is incredible busy these days - being at NAB, being here (and there) on the boards, giving courses, plus his new website, where he announced a ton of new tutorials - he needs a 30h day!

... I'll try to post a tut about the future-freeze - which is basically the same as your 'echo freeze' effect, aside I'm usisng just one freeze, and on a diff. position of the timeline. It all about masking plus motion-lock/-tracking - if you don't use a tripod.... Handheld gives the effect a bit more "ooooh, what's that!?"

Ben and Karsten - thanks, guys. No worries - and no pressure - I just wondered whether I had missed something you might have posted.

Future Freeze, like the sample Karsten posted, but when the camera is moving. That makes is really tricky. Going up today, if the tornadoes don't cut our electricity today....

freakin' Mondays...

Depends on movements ... I record in a way, I can manage the trick:
In the example, I posted, cam is at a fix position (= "Dogma-style", 'laid' on a tripod, but not fixed to a tripod), no zoom ...
>> then, Motions MotionTracker/single point gives the reuslt you can see; my tracking-point was some window corner, which is in view as long as my son 'freezed' in the scenery.

I didn't own SliceX to that date (meanwhile I do), ... I will try more 'complex' movements..

...... and I still can not find the 'raws' of that video! My harddrives are a mess!!!! :pinch:

Maybe this evening I can post a ... no, I can't! Tonight FC Bayern vs. Borussia Dortmund, semi-finals in DFB-Pokal, the most rival teams in the Bundesliga.

No, tutorial has to wait ... sorry!

Doing it inside of FCPX itself requires both SliceX and TrackX, and it's pretty simple.

OK, here it is.

If you do it in Motion, using the built-in Motion tracker, basically the same steps. Should be easy to translate. But, then, why round-trip when doing it in FCPX is faster?

P.S. This is the demo I brought with me to do at the Coremelt booth at NAB Show 2015.

Thanks, Ben. Really great of you to spend the time to detail this for all of us. But then, that's the type of guy you are

Thank you.

A big thumbs up from me too Ben! Your tutorial also helped me to further understand how to use SliceX/TrackX.

Thank you for all the time & effort you put in - it really helps.

Just watched it. Very cool tutorial, thanks Ben!
