When you’ve added all the keyframes, you can play the clip to see the shape mask move
between them. For more information about working with keyframes, see Intro to video
keyframing in Final Cut Pro.
Note: You can apply and animate multiple shape masks on a clip. You can view and edit
individual shape masks in the Video Animation editor just as you would any other effect
parameter. See
Add video effect keyframes in Final Cut Pro.
Change clip effect order in Final Cut Pro
You can apply multiple clip effects to a timeline clip. The order in which you apply them
can affect the final output. For example, if you apply the Artifacts effect—which by default
adds random white circles to the video—before the Aged Paper effect, the white circles are
also aged; if you apply Artifacts after Aged Paper, the circles remain white.
You can easily change the order of the clip effects in the Video or Audio inspector, or in the
Video Animation or Audio Animation editor.
Note: You can’t change the order of the built-in effects.
Change video and audio clip effect order using the Video or Audio inspector
1. Select a clip in the Final Cut Pro timeline that has multiple video or audio clip effects
applied, then do one of the following:
• View the video effects: Open the Video inspector.
• View the audio effects: Open the Audio inspector.
2. In the Video inspector or Audio inspector, drag the clip effects to change their order.
