CrumplePop Hand-Drawn Effects for FCP 6+

What is CrumplePop? CrumplePop is a fun, quick, and easy way to add high-quality hand-drawn elements to any Final Cut Pro project. CrumplePop is based on Master Templates, so you can just drag and drop a template onto your timeline, enter some text, and the template does the rest. What can CrumplePop do for me? Busy editors usually don't have the time (or the skill!) to design custom graphic elements for each project. Most often, you want something that's fast, looks good, and doesn't require a trip outside of Final Cut. CrumplePop is designed to let Final Cut editors put together extremely nice looking hand-drawn graphic elements quickly and easily. At the same time, CrumplePop gives you a lot of creative freedom - you can arrange paper, tape, and pen elements however you like, in any configuration. You can create extremely nice lower thirds, insets, or almost anything else, and apply drop shadow, colored drop shadow, rotation, or adjust opacity all from within FCP. The end product is really yours, much more so than in most template packages. Will CrumplePop work with my HD/SD/NTSC/PAL/ project? CrumplePop Master Templates are 1080p24, but they should work in almost any Final Cut project. Since CrumplePop is a collection of independent graphic elements, it is not tied to any particular frame size. You can drop a CrumplePop Master Template onto any timeline - HD or SD - and simply scale it up or down from within the Motion tab inside Final Cut Pro. If you have an SD timeline, for example, and you drop a CrumplePop Master Template onto it, it will look sort of gigantic. No problem! Just scale it down to whatever size you like from within the Motion tab in the Final Cut Pro viewer. If you run into a serious format incompatibility (and you shouldn't), then you can always go into the Motion source file we have provided, modify your template, and save it out as a new Master Template in the format you need. This should not be necessary in the vast majority of cases, however. Why are there 353 freaking templates? Isn't that a lot? The whole point was to give busy editors as many options as possible. So in addition to providing you with a variety of different shapes (strips, squares, speech bubbles, etc.), we created versions of each template with several different fonts. So rather than making trips back and forth from FCP to Motion, you can just browse the available shape/texture/font combinations, pick one that complements your project, and drop it on the timeline.
