Gary!! I’ve been trying to email you. You won the Splitz 2 plugin and I’ve been trying to reach you. 😄 Please send me an email, I think my emails might be landing up in your spam folder 👍🏼 And thanks for watching this tutorial 😊🙏🏼
I can tell I've never used a drone in my videos because I didn't know the zoom-in or zoom-out effect was being used: I just recognized how cool the final look was. Once again, Brad, you've opened my eyes! Thanks! Oh... and great inking on your arm!
It was Hitchcock who made this a famous effect; Vertigo. But I am sure he had to go through much more trouble getting it fixed. Thanks for explaining how it can be done in Final Cut Pro, Brad! Btw, great place you live in... 😀
You are absolutely right Gert-Jan! They did it in-camera in those days and it was a lot harder to pull the effect off than it is for us in FCP 😂 Glad you liked the footage! Shot in the Drakensberg mountains here in SA 😊👌🏼
Recently I found your little gem of a channel. I have binging your tutorials since. Really like how short and to the point they are. I am wondering if the new native tracker could be used to automatically keep an object centered. Tutorial worthy?
Just wanted to say: I really really enjoy all your videos on your channel. Learned so much in so short period. You deserve much more subs. Great great work putting all this together 🏆🎉👏
Well…I didn’t know this could be done without a simultaneous rack-focus opposite of the dolly. Brilliant! Does it look any different from that dolly-focus type for example in Jaws? But more importantly you answered something that has troubled me forever and that is the drift between keyframes. Now I can fix it. Thank you!
I think if you’re able to pull the effect off in-camera the results will be much better but that is pretty tough to do. What I like about being able to do it in post is that you can change how intense the dolly zoom effect is as opposed to having it “baked-in” in camera 😊👍🏼 I’m glad the keyframe tip was helpful 🤙🏼
@@Brad_West Thank you! I agree it’s hard to do manually but if we consider the tension needed for the scene in a movie through Visual Storytelling the contrast provided by a little camera shake may contribute. Just depends. Thanks again, you always improve my editing abilities.
Way Cool And Thanx For The Linear Tip For Sure - Question: Could The Camera's Build In ( Cannon GX7 Mark ii ) Zoom In/Out Work If A Gimbal Is Not Available? Does The Background Automatically Distort From The Keyframes In FCPX? Does This Effect Work With Panning Footage Or Just Zoom? Again, Another Brilliant Tutorial And Congrats On The New Art Work Cheers
Originally this effect was created by manually zooming with the lens as the camera moved forwards or backwards. Using keyframes essentially “replaces” the need to zoom using the lens while shooting. So if you zoom with the lens but keep the camera in one spot, I’m not sure you’re going to get the same distortion when you keyframe the scale. The distortion happens when you keyframe the scale because by moving the camera, the relevant distance between the different subjects in the shot changes. It would be interesting to see what it would look like in a panning scenario. So moving the camera to the right and keyframing the position to the left 🤔 Thanks for watching! 😊🙏🏼 And for noticing the new tat 😉 👊🏼
Thanks!
You’re welcome! 😊👍🏼
As usuall, I saw few tutorials describing how to navigate this effect, but your way is higher level 👌

Quality tutorial as always dude! Where is that place? Somewhere in South Africa I assume?
Thanks bro! Appreciate you watching 😊🤙🏼
Yeah it’s in the Drakensberg mountains here in SA. It’s about a 4 hour drive from where I live 😊
@@Brad_West It looks freaking gorgeous. Quite the nice getaway.
Definitely worth checking out if you are into hiking and if you make it to SA 😉 👊🏼
