Flop effect? Move from Motion to FCP???

Hi,

I'm working in FCP 4.5 HD and need the flop effect, but can only find it in Motion. So, I made a QT movie, did the effect in Motion, and now the movie just looks too compressed. I've used the "Flop" effect before on another system and am wondering if it's a plug-in or if I can import just that one effect over from Motion.

Thanks

Flop filter should be in Effects>Video Filter> Perspective

Got it, thank you very much!

if you;re looking for an effect in FCP,
go to the effects tab of the browser,
and do a search (apple F)

"Find All" works well.
the results aperar in a window, and you just select the one you're interested in, and "reveal in browser"

Great tip Nick Can I use it?

Mike

sure, mike, please, do..

and how about this:

if you want to know if there's a keyboard command for something, (let's say "go to in point" and what it is,
open the Customize Keyboard window (option h)
type what your'e after into the search window at the top right,
and it will appear in a list beneath.

as with most search windows, sometimes less is more.
"go to in point" wont reveal anything, as that's not what FCP calls the function.
a simpler "go to" will reveal more options, and there is it...
"go to in" is SHIFT i

VERY cool!
