Prolaroid Tutorial for Final Cut Pro

Turn back the clocks by customizing your very own professional instant photo effects from the Prolaroid Lesson.  

---

STEP 1 - Preparing The Timeline

Let’s begin by selecting our footage from the FCPX media library and dragging it to the timeline. Then locating Prolaroid in the Effects library. Browse through the presets and choose a style that fits for your project. For this example we will be using the Prolaroid 1 preset. Drag the preset directly on top of your media. Then Select your media and go to the inspector window.

STEP 2 - Effect Controls

Once you have the timeline set up begin adjusting the Prolaroid effect and develop slider. The Prolaroid effect slider adjust the opacity of the proloroid preset you have chosen. By moving the develop slider to the left to give the illusion that your photo is undeveloped but the more you move the slider to the right it will develop as a real photo would. If you want to give the visual of your footage developing real time you can key frame it. To do this set the develop slider to a position you want the development to being. Go to the beginning of your media, Select the keyframe icon then drag your playhead to a spot in your media you would like it to be fully developed. You can adjust the keyframes by right clicking on your media and selecting “show video animation”. Back in the inspector window, Continue altering the preset by choosing a Frame Type. You have 4 different frame options to choose from. If you do not want a frame select “none”. After making those adjustments move on to customizing the Frame Scale, Frame Softness and vignette. Underneath is the Artifact Type which come with a variety of different styles to choose from. Once you have an Artifact Type selected you can start by adjusting it’s opacity then move on brightness, intensity and hue. Now that your Artifact is customized to your liking we can move on to adjusting the flicker amount slider. Next is the vertical flip and horizontal flip check boxes. These check boxes will be controlling your Artifact adjustments. Lastly choose from a 10 authentic film texture’s. Once you have chosen your film texture you can adjust it’s opacity.
