How to Create the Dolly Zoom or Effect | Final Cut Pro X Tutorial

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create the Vertigo Effect, also known as the Dolly Zoom effect using Final Cut Pro X. Because we are using drone footage in this tutorial, we will spice it up by also adding rotation in Final Cut Pro.

If you are planning to use this effect it is aways better to utilize footage shot higher than 4K, as we will be utilizing the Kens Burns tool in FCPX.
