Getting Started - Introduction to the FretBoard 3 plugin with real world examples.
The new LiveView interface (only occupies half of the FCPX Viewer, leaving the top or bottom half for transcribing a real fretboard or live instructor view) made transcribing this expressive guitar solo a breeze!
FretBoard 3's intuitive LiveView interface allows you to animate 4, 5, or 6 string instruments, bringing your musical ideas to life with precision and clarity. Dive into the intricacies of scales, explore chord progressions, and effortlessly illustrate musical concepts that resonate with your audience.
With 9 animation shapes, FretBoard 3 lets you seamlessly animate musical sequences. From no-fade clarity to gentle fades and crossfades, tailor your animations to match your musical rhythm and expression.
Choose between Player and Viewer modes to optimize your creative workflow. Build your musical phrases in Player perspective and switch to Viewer mode for a seamless overlay on real instrument fretboards, enhancing the visual impact of your music videos.
Fine-tune every element of your animation, from strings and frets to symbols and inlays. Adjust colors, opacity, and sizes to match your unique style and musical vision, ensuring a visual representation that resonates with your audience.
FretBoard 3 seamlessly integrates with Final Cut Pro X, allowing you to craft professional-grade music videos with ease. By keyframing the Open String, Bender, Vibrato and Strips parameters you can recreate virtually anything a musicians hand would do on a fretboard! Unlock a world of creativity as you combine the power of FretBoard 3 with your video editing skills, taking your content to the next level.
FretBoard wasn't formed in isolation. It was a collaborative effort and it's ongoing!
Did you know there are 5 different ways you can play piano middle C on an acoustic guitar?
• String 2, fret 1. • String 3, fret 5. • String 4, fret 10. • String 5, fret 15. • String 6, fret 20.
If you consider the complexity of a stringed instrument, where the same note on a piano shows up in 5 different places on a guitar, animating a fretboard is a whole different ball game than animating a keyboard. You have strings that bend, notes that slide, and a player/viewer perspective to contend with as well.
We did our best to make FretBoard as intuitive and responsive as possible with the focus on seamlessly integrating into your FCP workflow.
If you embrace FretBoard's learning curve with patience, we guarantee the visual results you achieve will pay for itself!🎊
