It is unfortunate that within the scope of this review I cannot show you movies of the FX in action but there are plenty of examples on their website. The Luca's Light Transitions collection comes with a diversity of light transitions offering a variety of light lengths, colors and shapes. I did find that changing the composite mode with several of the light leaks was more effective than with some of the other transition types. It is certainly something to experiment with, as the number of looks that can be customized is just about infinite. This makes using composite modes such as Add and Screen a viable option that affects the look of the transitions. Two of the Luca's Film FX have been placed over my media layer on V1.Īll the clips contained within either of the two Film and Light transitions collections come in the animation codec with a 1920x1080 frame size. If your media clip were on V1 then you would drag the effect or transition onto V2 above the cut. Making it even simpler would be to just drag and drop the effect and move it to your desired location.

And, as you would need to do when inserting or overwriting a clip be sure to have your bottom layers locked to avoid them being split by the Luca effects.

These are then placed in the timeline above the clips you wish to place a transition or light modification on. Each of the Luca's Film FX or Light Transitions are, in essence, individual video clips with Alpha channels. You then import them into your Final Cut browser as you would any import of files or folder and apply the transitions or film effects. Almost all the effects are less than 2 seconds long. The Film Transition package comes with 30 individual effects and the Light transitions collection arrives with 33. Luca Visual FX is a new company that has simplified the entire process by developing their own Film and Light transitions that are easily applied and may be modified to taste. In the past there have been some software companies that enabled you to recreate many of these lighting effects but it has been my experience that they tend to be both expensive and time consuming to make whether you are working in Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects or most any editing application. You see them all the time, be it television or theatrical films, light and film effects are frequently used both as effects on individual clips as well as transitional devices between scenes.
