Luma Mask

This works in the same way as the FCPX "Image Mask" except it works with animated mattes, not just still image mattes.

It has been setup to work with all SD, HD, 4K & 5K resolutions at all available frame rates from 23.98 to 60fps in FCPX.

It also has a PDF file inside the folder. This folder, as downloaded from the link below, should be put inside a "Custom" named folder in your "Effects" folder inside your "Motion Templates" folder in your "Movies" directory.

Thank you for creating this. I thought no one had thought to create this seeing how FCPX deals with luma and alpha mattes. But you figured it out and for that I commend you. Will have a tutorial out in the near future.

Thanks again Kes, it's been up for a while, and I've been really busy but if anyone wants to see the excellent tutorial they can find it here.

Why not just create this effect as a transition, also, rather than jump through all of those hoops to make a transition out of it?

Feel free to make the necessary changes, if you like, and upload it here Ben. I don't have the time at the moment.

David.
