TOPIC:

Using some of the textures supplied with FCPX, here is an interesting mask effect for adding "roughness" to an image border - but with a bit of ingenuity you can find lots of other uses for it.



WITHDRAWN


With controls for:

- Texture selection, including a drop zone for a user generated texture (high contrast works best);
- Texture Scale and position;
- Grunge mix;
- Centre scale, position, opacity and roundness (an area where you can control the opacity to keep things visible).



Let me know if you can think of any improvements.

I could not understand how this effect works. When I drop over a video it overlaps the video entirely . I am doing something wrong, of course. Can you enlighten me ?

No, it's not you doing something wrong, it's me!

Here's a new version that actually works as it should!



Here's how it should look.




Thanks for being to first person to try out this effect - I think it's got a lot of potential for doing some really cool stuff.

You are the man Simon...wont forget to put your name in my next family movie in the credits....

Simon, the drop zone for textures has no effect ?? something needs to be fixed ?
BTW, i agree there is a lot of potential with this.
Congratulations

In order to be able to use the Drop Zone for the User defined texture, you need to select User Texture from the Pop-up menu. At least that's the way it works here. Let me know if you still have problems.

Glad to see that there's finally some interest in this one after all this time!

Oh yes sorry, i didn't see this pop up, shame on me.
Incredible job, very well thinking and done.

Hi I'm new to this site and must say it's great. Just tried your Organic Mask and it's realy cool.
Thanks a lot:)
