Hey Fam! This week in Motion, I showed how to create your own zoom tool using Apple Motion, that is so much better than anything you can do in Final Cut!

Check out the tutorial here https://youtu.be/udTfoMD5qSs

Also there is a download for you to use as much as you like! I hope it's useful to you.

Appreciate your support more than I can possibly express!

-Dylan your Final Cut Bro 👊


UPDATE •

I added a new graphic to the plugin to make it easier to find. As well as made the zoom tool work much better, even after the zoom has happened! You can now click and drag the zoomed box around, and it will work smoothly.  Feel free to download and install by dragging the unzipped folder into your titles!

is it just me or does this plugin not work on Vertical videos? every export it does a flip instead of the zoom previewed in final cut

Hey Malachi! So this one is only designed for horizontal videos. Vertical videos and FCP don't play super nicely together. So you have to essentially build the entire plugin from the ground up again for it to work with vertical videos unfortunately. I do have a fully featured Zoom plugin that has vertical options as well! Also you get 30% off if you use code Patreon30 -- https://thefinalcutbro.com/products/pro-zooms-for-final-cut-pro

Ah I see! That makes sense. SMH FCP at it again. I'll definitely look into that as well as the motion must have big kit! I ended up just going into the motion code and creating a copy with inverted resolution dimensions and it worked perfectly lol. All your plugins are life savers tho, I have stepped up my game significantly.

Literally fixing things I've googled for months and months. You're a genius sir, new Patreon member here!

I been binging your stuff and have made some purchases. I'm a brand new creator to the Youtube space and while being a video editor for a decade, there's so much I need to learn. Wishing you all the success in the creator economy. As someone who constantly researches FCPX / Motion tips, you offer something NOBODY and I mean NOBODY does. I'm glad I caught you before you hit 20 million subs!! 🙏🏾 Edit (P.S.) - I altered the project to allow a 20 second zoom in / zoom out. I know it's overkill, but flexibility is amazing. This way, I can use this with ease if I do anything that requires a very VERY subtle zoom in / out. I'm never unsubbing to this Patreon LOL

I literally had that thought for a whole other slow zoom plugin! I was thinking how useful it would be to have the ken burns effect, but without the limitations of ken burns that is already in FCP. Namely, being able to choose when the zoom stops, which is something that has always annoyed me. Appreciate your support! But also.. If there's ever a month your bills are tight, I want this patreon page to be the FIRST place you unsubscribe from haha!

Dylan, This tool isn't working for me. Not sure if it is my doing something wrong but when I add it to Final Cut Pro. I get a maroon background with a giant T and a caution sign. Any thoughts?

Dylan Bates - The Final Cut Bro

Hey Tommy! This usually has to do with versioning and Final Cut Pro. I’m curious, do you know what version of final cut you are on? I can likely send you a version that‘s made specifically for the version of Final Cut Pro you are on, and that will hopefully fix it!

Tommy Messinger

Ok, that is what I was thinking. It says I am using Version 10.5.4. It says it is up to date but is there a newer version?

Dylan Bates - The Final Cut Bro

So the latest version is 10.6.3, but I will see if I can make the version set for 10.5.4 and see if that fixes your issue! Sorry for the lack of response, Patreon doesn't always notify me of comments 😭

Dylan Bates - The Final Cut Bro

Just uploaded another version for FCP 10.5.4 so hopefully that will work for you! Just drag it to titles and you should hopefully be set!

Tommy Messinger

Awesome. Thanks Dylan. Super helpful. How do I get the newest version? I don’t see any updates.

Dylan Bates - The Final Cut Bro

So if you go back to where the original download is (Just under the post) you should hopefully see 2 versions. One that just says Drag To Titles, the other that says "Auto Zoom FCP 10.5.4.zip" Let me know if you don't see it there, might be worth a page refresh.
