Two Draw Modes

The FCPX Brush Glow tool offers a pop-up menu consisting of two different modes to edit the canvas: Frame by Frame and Add to Subsequent Frames. The first should be used when frame-by-frame animation is desired. Subsequent Frames is used when the desired effect is to have all of the following frames have the exact same drawing.

Why is my screen black during playback?

.

The default settings for this generator will first require the clip to be rendered in order to process every element. Please render the clip before playback to view the complete generator.

.

How often should I save my canvas?

.

You should save your canvas every few frames. We do recommend that you do all of your drawings in one session and export a video of your brush progress so far as a backup. Before exporting your backup you should turn off all of your other media files in the project timeline so that only the brush frames render out as alpha footage. The exported movie can then be imported back into FCPX and placed over your media.

.

Why is my FCPX Brush Glow project is not showing up in my exported video?

.

Make sure that you are pressing the "Save Canvas" button in your published controls before you export your project. This will ensure that your product shows up in your export.

.

Why is my brush not aligned with my cursor when I am drawing on the canvas?

.

In order to have your brush align with the cursor on screen, you will need to be using a brush preset that matches the resolution of your project timeline. For example, if you are using the FCPX Brush Glow 1080 preset in a 1080p project it will line up correctly. If you use the FCPX Brush Glow 1080 in a 4K project your brush it will not align properly.
