Step 1 - Preparing the Timeline

Let’s start by selecting a clip or image in the FCPX media library and dragging it to the timeline. Go to the effects library to locate FCPX Overlay Bokeh 6K. You can choose the angular effect for a shape that has sharp corners or the rounded effect for a circle shape you can easily manipulate. In this example, We are going to use the angular effect. Click and drag the effect directly on top of your media.

Step 2 - Customize Overlay Effect

Once you have your timeline setup, It’s now time to customize the look of your overlay effect. Select your media in the FCPX timeline and go to the Inspector window. First is the sample slider where you can choose from numerous frames that all have a different style to them. Next is the effect mode which allows you to choose how you want your overlay to blend onto your media. In your viewer window you can click and drag the inner circle allowing you to change your overlays position. Clicking and dragging the outer circle will scale your Bokeh. You can also change the blur and opacity of your overlay with the designated sliders in the Inspector window.

Step 3 - Color Manipulation

Now we will change the color of our Bokeh under the Color Manipulation section in the Inspector Window. By clicking the drop down arrow next to “color” you are able to pick any color that best fits your style. You also have Red, Green, and Blue slider bars to really customize your look. For example moving the Green slider to the right will make your media look green, Sliding it to the left will change it to red. Use all three to find a perfect balance in the style you want. Brightness will affect how vibrant your colors will be on the overlay. The Chromatic Aberration slider affects the outside of the Bokeh showing a thin ring giving a spectrum of color.

Step 4 - Light Effects & Flicker Control

Next we will discuss the light effects and flicker control. By clicking on the Lens Defocus box in the Light effects section you are able to control the spread, intensity and position of your previous adjustments. If you click the box next to Flicker in the Flicker Controls section you will be in control of the blend mode, intensity, speed, and noise of the overlay giving it an authentic look.
