We also want the foreground smoke to enter the video from the opposite side of the screen.
Simply duplicating its timeline track and dragging it up above the phone mockup track won't work. Now let's also add the smoke video to the foreground! You saw how we added the smoke video to the background and had the phone mockup appear on top of it. Bonus step: Use a video without an alpha channel as the foreground videoīut wait, this still doesn't look like the video above, now does it? We still need the foreground smoke. You now have a transparent clip in your timeline! You can drag in another video track below the Rotato clip - and, of course, above it. You'll see the duration now changes to 1, and all the clips now gather at the left end of your timelineĪnd that's it. With all clips selected, go to Modify > Change duration.
When Final Cut asks, choose 60 fps, and the resolution you chose in Rotato (i.e., 1080p).Select all clips there and drag them down below onto the timeline.Select all PNGs and drag them into the Media area in Final Cut.If you're using Rotato, you can do that too, but you can also export a real video with a transparent background and skip the PNG sequence step. Let's do that! We'll use a single smoke video and then layer it over and under your object.įirst, you'll need to export a PNG sequence with your object. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to do it right now, without a studio and on your computer? Of course, you'll need unique flashes, smoke sticks, backdrops, and so on, so you may need to go shopping first.
