![]() I'm the creative force behind Idustrial Revolution, one of the oldest Final Cut Pro plugin developers. I was lucky however to edit, from home, on projects for Amazon Kindle, Amazon Black Friday, Mastercard and very proud to have helped local charitable trust Kendall & Wall secure lottery funding.Īs for software, my weapon of choice is Final Cut Pro and Motion, but I also have a good knowledge and broadcast credits with Adobe Premiere Pro, MOGRT design and Photoshop. This is currently an Adobe Premiere edit.Ĭovid cancelled some of the regular corporate events that I edit such as trade shows & events. I'm proud to be part of a very creative team that has pioneered many new ideas and workflows that are now industry standard in sports' production. The Tour was the first broadcast show to adopt FCPX working for multiple editors on shared storage.īBC's Snooker has played a big part in my life, I've been editing tournament coverage since 1997. 2020 was my 25th year of editing the TdF and my 20th year as lead editor. The shows have also been nominated for a 2021 BAFTA.Īlthough both were postponed to later in the year, I worked again on ITV's coverage of the Tour de France and La Vuelta. It has been recommissioned by C4 for 60 episodes, including prime-time versions and five themed programmes. It has been a great success and the shows grabbed more viewers in the 4pm weekday slot than any previous strand. I also designed and built the majority of the graphics as Motion templates. Though I haven't yet tried to herd a flock of sheep through the city centre! Current EditingĢ020 has been busy, the beginning of the year was finishing off a new property series (cut on FCP) for Channel 4 called The Great House Giveaway. I was made a Freeman of Lichfield through The Worshipful Company of Smiths (established 1601). Under the name Idustrial Revolution, I have written and sold plugins for Final Cut Pro for 13 years. I have also worked as a broadcast and corporate editor for over 30 years, starting on one inch tape, working through many formats, right up to today's NLEs. I am the Editor-in-Chief of FCP.co and have run the website since its inception ten years ago. FCPX supports a similar animation concept, but Pan & Zoom offers many more options to get a perfect move even Ken would be proud of. We have used the plugin on many jobs, from high profile broadcast work to corporate productions and wouldn't go back to the clumsy keyframing alternative in FCP7. Users will have to download the free FxFactory plugin management system and register the plugin, but you won't need to trouble your credit card one cent. The most amazing thing about Pan & Zoom is the fact that it's free. The plugin will also work in Motion and After Effects. The legacy compatible version has also had a tweak to add high-precision, color-managed renders. Noise Industries has released a new version of Pan and Zoom, it still works a treat in FCP7, but the new version will now work within Final Cut Pro X. So as the plugin didn't use keyframes, lengthening the clip automatically lengthened the move. ![]() The duration of the move by default was set as the duration of the clip, including the dissolve or transition handles. When the original version of Pan & Zoom was released, the setup mode was a revelation: position the start and end wireframes on the picture and let the plugin do the rest. Not to mention the almost impossible task of keeping a move on a photo smooth going through a transition. ![]() ![]() If you've ever tried to animate a still photo in Final Cut Pro 7, you'll know that you can get some odd acceleration & deceleration effects going on if you try anything apart from a straight zoom. Noise Industries has now upgraded the free plugin to work with FCPX. When the Final Cut Studio version of Pan & Zoom was released, it gave great Ken Burns style effects in Final Cut Pro 7 and was easy to use too. ![]()
