Q: How to create a bursting circle title effect

Does anyone know how to create the title effect used in these videos? I don't know if you can buy it (if so where from) or if you can create it yourself on FCPX

    You need Motion to make an effect like that. I took the liberty of making something very similar (it's not an *exact* copy) because explaining how it's done is too complicated. It is not a title effect, it's just an accent, so I made it as a generator (you can use it with any other title you like). It features the following parameters: Color, Position, and Opacity. It has an onscreen control for easy positioning. The generator is 2 seconds long (the animation is 25 frames long [in a 30fps project]) and will loop (every 2 seconds) if dragged out longer. Just place it where (and when) you want it to occur.

     

    You can download it here  (the link goes to my general download/donation page -- you are not required to make a donation.)  If you need help installing it, go here: http://fcpxtemplates.com/install4fcpx/latest.htm.

     

    Hope it fits your needs.
