ProDrop: Light Show Tutorial for Final Cut Pro

Learn how to generate your very own VJ neon light backdrops with the ProDrop: Light Show Lesson from Pixel Film Studios.  
  Professional - Background Generators for Final Cut Pro X

STEP 1 - Preparing the Timeline

Let’s begin by locating ProDrop: Light Show in the Generator Library. There are a variety of sections such as Drop Zones, Kaleidoscopes, Particles, Shapes, and Text. For this example we will be using the Style 1 Kaleidoscope. Select your preset and go to the Inspector Window.

STEP 2 - Camera Controls

First let’s adjust our camera controls. Start by adjusting the angel of view and camera position sliders. The camera position slider will adjust how close or how far away you will be viewing the effect that is happening. After adjusting the camera position you can go onto the the offset wheel which will offset the camera rotation giving you different kaleidoscope looks.

STEP 3 - Emission Controls

Once you have your Camera Controls set up, Move down to the Emission Controls section. The Generate button randomizes all the controls below. If you want full control over all of these controls you can skip this option and start with the Scale Slider. Next is the Scale Randomization slider which will let you randomize the overall scale. After making the scale adjustments move on to adjusting the Birth Rate, Life, and speed sliders. The Birth Rate slider controls how many particles of this cell emerge from the emitter every second. A Higher value creates denser particle effects. The Life Slider controls how long each particle lasts before vanishing from the screen. By adjusting the speed slider you are controlling how quickly each particle flies away from the emitter. Next you can adjust the angle, angle randomness, spin, and spin randomness. The emission range sets the angle at which the particles are emitted. Once you have you emission range set adjust the Kaleidoscope position, Segment Angel and Segment angle offset. You can adjust these sliders in the inspector window or by using the onscreen controls in the viewer window. Drag the puck with the fan to adjust Kaleidoscope position, Click and rotate the highest stem to control the segment angle. To adjust the Segment angle offset click and rotate the lowest stem. The Segment Angle sets the angle at the tip of each triangular tile. The Segment angle offset Sets the rotation of the whole kaleidoscope.

STEP 4 - Style Controls

Now let’s move onto the Style controls. First you can adjust the brightness, brush opacity and line thickness. Next adjust the circle opacity. Once you have the opacity set you can then alter the color pattern of the Kaleidoscope. Click the drop down arrow next to color patter. A color gradient box will appear showing three colors. You can change the location of each color by clicking on one specific color and dragging it along the gradient line or use the location slider. To change the color click the color box you want to change and select a color. After adjust the Interpolation and Color Repetitions sliders.

STEP 6 - Glow Controls

Once the blur controls are adjusted to your liking move down to the Glow section. Start by adjusting the Light ray amount and Light Ray distance. Lastly adjust the glow amount, glow radius, and Aura radius. The Aura Radius Adds highly stylized light or dark halos around well-defined areas of an image.
