Hi,

I've made an effect for FCPX that simulates a classic SLR viewfinder.
You can keyframe the focus and exposure sliders, give the needle some random fluctuation and when you activate the build out checkbox you get a flipping mirror at the end.
I'm still looking for a possibility to link the exposure needle rotation parameter to the average brightness of the underlying video, but I haven't found a way to do that yet.
There is an image unit in motion 5 that is called "Area Average" but it doesn't do what I'd expect based on its name.
So, if anyone has a clue, please let me know.

Regards
Robbert-Jan van der Does

rjvddoes OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 227 Thank you received: 99 Karma: 11	Hi Peter, I just tried to upload an image but I didn't succeed. Can I just upload the PNG (I tried to upload them to my iDisk and then I copied the share link into my message, but that only showed a non-clickable URL) I'm probably doing something wrong here. Found it! Robbert-Jan

gsciorio OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Karma: 1	Glad you like the video Labalbi. The blackout is part of the effect. It simulates the mirror blackout of the SLR and is inserted anytime you make a cut. Thanks for watching.
