Hope you all enjoy this video. There are many other ways to use the Magentic Mask in FCP. These are only a few. I'd love to hear your thoughtts on these methods and any others you've seen out there. Hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving if you're in the US. Thanks so much for watching!
VERY COOL! Great ideas, thank you for sharing.
@@CowboyJojosAdventures Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for watching!!
Great share.
No one else is talking about dropping the effect right on the area you want to use it.
Everybody else is talking about dropping the mask first in the timeline after you create a duplicate clip.
Great workflow timesaver.
Thanks from Trinidad 🇹🇹
@@WAD120 awesome! I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

@EmberdynXi I really appreciate how simple and digestible your tutorials are. Will definitely be watching more of them. Gotta know though…What’s the meaning behind the channel name?
@ Ah. I was waiting for someone to ask that. Lol. I’m actually gonna make a trailer for the channel that explains it but the name Emberdyn (pronounced Ember-din) is a combo of the words Ember (spark) and Dynamic (change). Because I believe that as artists we can Spark Change and bring about positive change in the hearts and minds of those we reach. 🙂. That’s the short version. There will be a channel trailer coming soon to fully explain the name. ❤️. Thanks for asking.
@ Sweet! That’s cool! Looking forward to the trailer!
Great tips in this video. Thanks very much. I'm loving the new features in FCP 11.......Take care, Bluefin.
@@mustang774 Thank you for your continued support!! ❤️
Fabulous! Shows me ways to do a bunch of things I spent a lot of time doing other ways.
Thanks so much for watching. I’m glad the video was helpful for you.
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Dragging the effect to the viewer and stick on on the mask directly !! didn't know could do that without the need to duplicate the layer . thanks
@@simoharjane7823 I’m glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching.
I have watched 50 or so videos on the Magnetic mask. You are the only person who mentioned that you can drag an effect on a clip and the magnetic mask will be applied to that effect!
Awesome! I’m glad you found it helpful! It’s a really awesome feature. Thanks for watching!
Very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Amazing!
@@claudioagmfilho Thank you! Glad you liked it. You’re a regular on my videos now! I really appreciate the continued support!!
GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Appreciate the simple and straightforward examples. Just used composition to make a video featuring a Christmas train set by bf got :D
Awesome! You should post the video on your channel. I’d love to see it. Thanks so much for watching!
Well hit me with a wet mop, I didn’t know you could drop an effect straight to the clip and have the mask turn on like that. That’s great. I’m a real noob with FCP as I’ve only just bought a Mac mini, DaVinci Resolve user usually but I wanted to see how Mac’s own performed. Quite enjoying all the vids on this great tool so keep them coming.
Yeah! That was a game changer when I learned you could do that. Lol. Thanks for watching!!
11:02 😵💫
🤣🤣🤣🤓
Gracias por mostrarnos varias posibilidades con la nueva máscara, es factible cambiar a una persona la cara y poner en su lugar un Emoji ? , gracias
@@rodolfoelgert1102 ¡Muchas gracias por ver el vídeo! Sí, probablemente también se necesitaría un poco de seguimiento para que el emoji se mantenga en su posición en la cara.
I just finished watching Columbo, episode 4 (Amazon Prime), and at the end of the first act. the antagonist pushes the victim and appears to hit the table, and cut to shattering glass camera looking up onto the antagonist but in between the glass just shatters, slo mo. I’m very curious how they did that shot. It appear as though they used magnetic mask!!!
The next scene is a close up onto the face, and they did a hold gram of his face but his glasses are shaded and they did two scenes onto each of his eyeglasses. That was pretty cool!!
Great ideas and I like the Goofball style 😀 but everytime you drag and drop a clip to the end of the timeline I shout PRESS E
lol. Thanks, it’s who I am. My 14yr old daughter can take or leave that side of me depending on the day. Haha. Teenagers!
I learned that shortcut key a while back and keep forgetting to use it. Hahaha. Who knows I might just use it in the next video now. And you might just get a wink for reminding me. 🤣🤣🤣
When I dragged it to my subject, it didn't apply a magnetic mask automatically like it did for you! How did you get it to do it by default!?
@@HntrShoots it should just do it without having to do anything else. What effect were you trying to apply, I don’t think it works for every effect. But most.
@@EmberdynFX I was following you steps up until you selected and dragged the blur effect. I tried it with gaussian blur.
Is it possible to do a video of “ how you show the computer screen and have your picture on the screen talking “. I want to do a video like that but don’t know how to do it. Do you think you can make a video for us ?
Hey! Sure I can make video about this at some point. I personally use Camtasia for screen recording which has a feature to also show your face via a webcam. I tend to not use that feature and just record my face separately on a different camera then merge them together in FCP. But most screen cast software will allow you to do this. Camtasia, Screenflow, OBS (free), are all examples of good screen recording software. Hope that helps.
@@EmberdynFXok thank you. I will look into those screen recording software. If you also can do a video will me appreciated because we like the way you teach .
Hello Sir.Do you think it's very difficult to apply the magnetic mask to the video of a drummer playing? Please ,forgive my bad English.
@@gaetanomagliuolo Hey, definitely think it would require some manual intervention on a frame by frame basis. I’d be willing to bet that the mask would have a hard time staying accurate on a drummer but that’s a test I’m gonna try now. Lol. I’ll let you know the results. Actually maybe I’ll make a quick video about it. lol.
@@EmberdynFX Wow. Thanks Sir ,it would be Nice.👍👍
I will wait for this new video with joy
@@gaetanomagliuoloThe wait is over. Lol

thanks for this instruction. (but the intro is much to long; start at 0:35 is o.k. i.m.o. and the "funny" jokes between... no)
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I try to keep the intros as short as possible. This was a longer one. 🙂 thanks for watching!
what's the easiest way to just outline some stuff, like in most thumbnails, magnetic mask or another method.
Hey thanks for watching. This may be helpful. th-cam.com/video/1kW3de_0lK8/w-d-xo.html You can achieve the same effects in motion if you want, but this plugin does tthe work for you. :)
@@EmberdynFX Thanks so much.. I will get it this week.
Thanks for watching!
Ok, how would you use Magnetic Mask to help to tell a story?
Oooooh. I kinda love that question. Let me think on that and I’ll respond with a video this weekend. Thanks for watching!!
@@EmberdynFX Magnetic Mask is a great for demoing, but actual use of it is a different thing. As an editor I just used it to remove modern ear tags from cows in a documentary I'm editing! Worked great!
