    VAPOR GRAPHICS

    TUTORIAL FOR
    FINAL CUT PRO X USERS
    Vapor Graphics presents Magic Box - A master
    template developed in Apple Motion. Showcase 48
    photos or videos to reveal another image or video.
    This project can be useful for all occasions
    like wedding, birthday, anniversary, special occasions,
    travel destination, corporate videos or showing
    different products. Magic Box works as a logo
    revealer also. Drag and drop your photos or videos,
    adjust the position, scale values if required, then
    render it!
    STEP 01
    After unzipping the project, Apple Motion users can directly open
    the projects by double clicking it. If you want to save the projects as
    Master Templates, you have to copy the projects to templates folder.
    The path is //Users/username/Movies/Motion Templates/Generators.
    Once you copy the projects to the Motion Templates folder there
    are two advantages. One: It will be available for Final Cut Pro X . Two:
    You can open the files through Apple Motion project bowser, and
    the thumbnails and previews are there with the project.

    Note 1

    The transition projects in .motr format has to be copied in to


    Transitions folder.
    //Users/username/Movies/Motion Templates/Transitions

    Note 2

    Don't keep the projects files directly under the Generators/Transitions


    folder. So we recommend you to copy the project folder itself.
    Eg: /Motion Templates/Generators/MagicBoxProjects
    STEP 02

    Launch Final Cut Pro X

    Open the Generators Browser by clicking the Generators button in


    the toolbar, and click the category called MagicBoxProjects.

    Click on the thumbnail to see the preview of the project. Hover the
    mouse to see play the preview in the view port

    STEP 03

    Now drag and drop your generator to the time line. You may see a
    popup message saying that the Video Properties of the clip are not
    recognized. Select your format, resolution and frame rate. Then click
    OK button
    STEP 04

    Select the template layer in the Timeline and go to Inspector, then


    click on the Generator Tab to see the published parameters.
    You can select the camera (Select one at a time because Generators
    wont support multiple cameras).
    You can change the background color, hotspot color , turn on /off
    the hotspots or edit the cube colors using these parameters
    STEP 05

    In Published parameters, Go to Dropzone B ( your final image or


    logo). Click on the dropzone logo, then select your clip, click on it and
    press the Apply Clip button to apply the image to the Dropzone

    You can adjust the pan , scale values of the image.

    You can select a gradient background instead of the image.


    You can make this one a color solid by selecting same color for
    gradient colors.

    You can add a text or logo on top of your image or gradient or solid.
    Turn on the text layer and type your text. Adjust the parameters
    STEP 06

    Now you can set all the 48 dropzones in the similar way which we
    described in the previous step. You can adjust the pan and scale
    values to get it right.

    STEP 07

    Go to File -> Share to export/render your project


    STEP 08 & 09
