All created within FCPX itself, we teach you a quick keying trick to achieve this effect. The look was made popular by the 'Stacy's Mom' video from the American rock band, Fountains of Wayne.

This tutorial will show you that Smart Folders work a treat in the finder for locating all those long lost Final Cut Pro X Libraries. Hope that saves you some time!
