Several viewers asked me how I created shadows around the edges of the video clip in last week’s episode. It’s an effect called a “vignette”, and it’s very easy to do. This week’s tutorial is an in-depth explanation on why you might want to use a vignette, and how to create it.

What you’ll find in this video:

• When to use a vignette
• How to create a vignette in Final Cut Pro
• How to create a tracker in Color
• How to animate a vignette in Color
• How to adjust vignette settings to your liking
