Last week I asked what topic you wanted to see next, and because the answers were so varied, I decided to start tackling each of them.
This tutorial shows you how to create effects in your videos using basic color correction tools. In fact, I intentionally demonstrate this using the Final Cut Express color correction tool, which is super basic. Naturally, if you have more advanced tools, you can do a lot more.

This video includes a preview from the Advanced Final Cut Express course I’m working on right now.
What happens when you’ve shot high definition footage, but the final version of your video will be standard definition? Well, there are several different ways to handle this, but one of the things you can do is get creative with all those extra pixels. This video will show you how to fake a zoom in post. It’s similar to the Ken Burns effect, except you apply it to a video clip.
You’ll see me working in Final Cut Express in this video, but you could do a similar technique in most editors that let you put SD and HD footage in the same sequence.

Sometimes you can get beautiful effects with simple techniques. This installment of Izzy Video shows you how to make a video clip freeze and then flash into a photo, using the Ken Burns effect. It’s a common effect you see in video, and you’ll see it’s quite simple to create.
This is a tutorial for the members, but you can watch the Quicktime version of the trailer here.
By the way, although I use Final Cut Pro in this video, you could likely create the same effect in nearly any editing software that allows you to do keyframing. Enjoy!

Who says that video production can’t be a family activity? ;-)
I get requests for Motion tutorials all the time, and it’s been a while since I’ve released one, so I thought we’d have a little fun in this week’s episode. In this installment of Izzy Video, I demonstrate the steps you take in Motion to turn a face into a monster’s face. The technique uses motion tracking and keyframed filters. I hope you have as much fun with this technique as we did.
