May 13, 2015 7:46 AM in response to Jasper Thayerby David Bogie Chq-1,You can also spend a few hours researching the term "bullet time." It's nothing to do with the editing software; you don't need FCPX to do this. There are many visual effects sites on the webs that can help you figure it out. The effect was created for and the hardware developed for the first Matrix movie (you, know, the only that was any good). There are several ways to execute the effect but they are remarkably hardware intensive and mentally challenging. If you succeed in gearing up and programing the effect, please come back and tell how you did it.

It asks for an array of cameras...
or like this ...
and a compositing software which offers so-called 'Warping'... you probably have heard of 'Morphing'? ... Warping is something close to that...
A while ago, I read an article, where some fellow uses FCPX built-in Optical Flow for some similiar effect ... ehm, perhaps not SO similiar, but .. kinda morphing/warping...
Oh, no article, what a surprise: Mark and Steve again ....
.. performed with Motion4, should work identically in Motion5....
... never found the time to test it/reenact it .. cool effect, still suprising...
Meanwhile, this 30 years old effect has developed, e-g in this scene from X-Men, a mutant called Quicksilver performs an impressive stunt:
