SHOUT OUT FOR FINAL CUT PRO
Shout Out is an incredible, modularly designed callout product for Final Cut Pro X. By modular, we mean that many of the elements you usually see with callout products are separated out to be their own individual layer with their own individual animations. This gives you the power to layer and mix and match as you wish. This way, you can replace certain elements without having to replace others if you change your mind. It also allows you more combinations and possibilities to maximum number and creativity while allowing you to control timing easier!
Use the on screen controls (OSC) to rotate, scale, and reposition the object. You may also easily keyframe certain OSCs to be able to track or follow an object.
The lines in the “Pointers” category allows you to keyframe the ending node so that it can appear to follow a subject while the rest remains stationary.
Shout Out; an animated call out tool for a new generation..
TITLES
The titles section come with 36 various titles. In most of them, you can control the format (left, center, right), the animation type, and colors. Choose to turn on and off the in animation and out animation by choosing the “X” in the animation dropdown option. Scale, rotate, and reposition by using the OSCs.
FOCUS
The focus tools are a way to hone in on a specific area of your timeline to draw attention to it. It draws a shape line around a certain area and blurs out the background. You can also choose it to go black and white and add an overlay color. These can also be turned off or on. You can animated the shape and follow an object by using the “Keyframe” feature in the controls. Turn on and off the in and out animations by using the checkboxes in the parameters section.
POINTERS
You can use a pointer to animate on a line which has beginning and ending nodes. There is a drop down to allow you to change the node shape as well. Animate the ending node to show it following an object. You can also change the line type to a solid, dashed line, and dotted line.
