Join Nick Harauz for an in-depth discussion in this video Options for sending clips to After Effects, part of Final Cut Pro X Guru: Motion Graphics in Motion and After Effects.
- After Effects is the industry standard…when it comes to motion graphics.…And while Motion's eXchange…with Final Cut Pro X is powerful,…knowing how to send and work in After Effects…is extremely important.…In this movie, we'll explore how we…can send clips over into After Effects,…and ways to keep our projects organized and assets organized…in and outside of Final Cut Pro.…I'm here in my 4.1 keyword collection.…And I've double-clicked my project…to open it in the Timeline.…And the idea is that I want to…send these two clips over to After Effects.…
The idea here is before I send them over,…I always like to make copies.…So as you can see, I selected both clips.…If I option-click and drag them up,…I can have those copies remain above the originals,…and just turn them off.…So a quick way of doing that is pressing "V."…The great part about this is that I can replace these clips…later on with my After Effects-rendered clips or projects…to place back into the Final Cut Pro timeline.…The other thing that I could do now…

Nick then works through three chapters of timesaving, practical motion graphics techniques. Learn to create a lower third, animate a Photoshop file, and build dynamic backgrounds in Final Cut Pro. Discover how animate text, create moving 3D text, and build custom transitions in Motion. Then find out how to send FCP clips to After Effects and animate, light, and export your work. By the end of the training, editors will have a basic comprehension of motion graphic design techniques and the essentials for transitioning between these three powerhouse applications.
