Welcome to an FCPX Gridwarp tutorial from Pixel Film Studios
Let’s get started.

For this first example, we will select the trackable fcpx gridwarp title effect preset located within the Titles Browser.
Click and drag this preset directly on top of your footage.

Tracking Controls

If you wish to track a particular object within your scene you will first need to track that item, and then continue to step 2.
If not, you have the option of selecting the Gridwarp Tool without tracking and then control the position and rotation manually.
For this example, we will track our subject matter’s mouth.
For further information on tracking please visit our FCPX Auto Tracker tutorial in the description below.
If you wish to make an alteration to any other part of your subject matter, we highly suggest stacking multiple title adjustment layers, tracking those particular points separately, and then make your gridwarp adjustments.
Now that we have a successful track, we are ready to continue to step 2.

Grid Controls

We’ll begin by selecting Step 2: Gridwarp under the On-Screen Controls drop-down menu and then deselecting our title layer and reselecting our title layer to refresh its on-screen controls.
We must do this step each time we select a new on-screen control in order for it to be refreshed.
Located within Grid Controls we will need to Toggle our Grid on to visually see our mesh.
We can toggle this on and off at any point in time, but make sure to toggle this off before your final render.
We then have control over the mesh scale with the vertex offset slider as well as the grid overall width and grid color indication.
Once we are happy with our results we are ready to continue.

Brush Controls

Located under the Brush Controls category we will have complete control over brush size, brush Edge Softness, and warp strength.
As we left click and drag across our footage we will notice the effect our brush is creating.
We can continue to make adjustments to our brush controls at any point in time to get the effect that we are looking for.
If we make a mistake at any time we have the ability to hold down command on our keyboard and hitting z to undo.
If at any point in time you feel that your warp cannot be fixed you then have the option of clearing the effect warp by clicking on the Reset Grid button located within Grid Controls
