There is easier way to cut out items from images. Just right click the object in the imege, wait 1-2 seconds and at the bottom of the menu "Copy subject" option will appear. It copies subject to buffer, then just paste it to your timeline. Works on latest MacOS and Safari.

[@mtamech535]

Dylan, as always, you're killing this. My question has always been...can I use images from amazon or other websites without having to worry about copyright?

[@asirus]

You absolutely have to worry about copyright. The solution is either make your own image or pay for the license to use them.

[@mtamech535]

@@asirus Which is why I pay for envato...but some things are still not available. I wasn't sure if there was a fair use somehow.

[@asirus]

@@mtamech535 Yeah, that's annoying when you're paying and still don't get everything you need. Fair use is a super grey area, personally I assume there is no fair use so I don't risk getting caught out.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Hey thanks my friend! So it depends on what you're using the image for... "(in US copyright law) the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder."

[@danielporterAZ]

@@dylanjohndickerson thank you!

[@pharmatographist]

Thanks again Dylan! Always good stuff-I don’t get the compound clip though. What is it about compounding that fixed the fly-in of the animation?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Basically by moving the position of the pop up, you're moving the boundaries of it. So instead of say, flying to the bottom of the entire frame, it only flys to the bottom of the moved boundary, which is not the bottom of the actual frame. So by creating a compound clip, you're essentially resetting the frame in a way. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@pharmatographist]

@@dylanjohndickerson Yes it does! Man, I know you’re a busy dude, and you seem to respond to every comment, so I appreciate it!! Love your tips and your work!

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I'll respond to comments as much as I can. Hopefully that stays true the more the channel grows. Thanks for the support, brotha!

[@ericdemotte5587]

Thanks so much for this! Your videos have been great! That Tap5a tip about compound clip helps a lot. Quick question, where do you get your sound effects for your animations coming in? Is there a free source you use?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Hey Eric! Thanks so much! And good question. I've accumulated a big library of sound effects over the years. I can't tell you exactly where I've got them unfortunately.

Very nice and one of the most useful plugin animations. Was doing everything same except shadow. Thanks for that! Anyway since update FCP 10.6.9 on newest MacOS Sonoma 14.0 (MacBook 16 2019 Intel) out animations don't work anymore. Reinstalling plugin didn't help. Anyone has same issue with Tap5a plugin? Edited: I've just read message from Tap5a creator Tapio Haaja and with newest update 10.6.10 work totally fine like before! Great plugin!

You mean with Tap5a they don't? Or just in general? Thanks so much 🙏🏼

[@nationsrelations8267]

what did you use for the mouth animation in the beginning

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I duplicated the clip and used the draw mask tool to cut out my mouth, then keyframed the position. Really shotty work lol but because it's only a few frames, I got away with it.

I downloaded the plugin but can't get it into Final Cut Pro. Is there an installer or do I need to drag the folder somewhere? Love your channel!!! Do you have any courses that you sell for video production?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Hey Scott! Thank you so much! Yes so you'll need to drag it to your motion templates folder, then effects folder. I'd suggest looking up 'how to install plugins in FCP' on KZbin. That'll give you lots of options. I don't have one on video production, but I just released a color correction/color grading masterclass that I'm extremely proud of. Give the website a look when you get the chance ⬇️ www.fcpcolorgradingmasterclass.com I'm going to be creating a sound design course and a transitions course next year but perhaps I'll produce a course on video production as well. Anything in particular you're having trouble with?

[@ScottPaddock]

@@dylanjohndickerson Thanks for the reply, Dylan. Your videos have helped a lot and saved me tons of time with editing. I have a successful KZbin & IG account and sell online courses. The things that I struggle with the most, which I'm finally getting better at, is the actual process of making the video look more professional with the transitions, sound, text on screen, things popping up, etc.

[@dylanjohndickerson]

I'm so glad they're helping out. Ahh I see. I could definitely make a course on that 😊 Thanks for the idea, Scott! @@ScottPaddock

donde descargo ?

[@feralandfree]

I really appreciate this video, I've learned 2 new things in a short video! Subscribing so I can learn a lot more. Question: when downloading this plug in, would you save it under effects in FCP?

[@dylanjohndickerson]

Thanks so much for the sub! Yes correct. In the effects folder.

[@kevincobb7828]

I had the Tap5a Effects installed, but didn’t know about the compound clip! Thanks! Will try it out immediately! If I want to copy the same animation to another image with cmd+shift+v do I need to make the new image a compound clip before, or will that option also be included when I paste the information? Btw, as far as I know, the creator calls himself *Tapsa* not Tap five A 😉

[@dylanjohndickerson]

It won't transfer the compound clip unfortunately. Oh really? haha well shoot, I've been saying it wrong the whole time.

Ya Mac only because FCP is a Mac only software. I'm not sure actually. I'm on Ventura 13.5.2.

[@Orlik2137]

Why can't this handicapped program have such basic functions built in? Why is Apple so illogical. Every even free program these days already offers such things, but in FCPX, of course, you need a plugin. It's a shame, because I'm thinking more and more about changing the program to Davinci even though I love the magnetic timeline and the way FCPX works.
