Bubble Pop Help

Bubble Pop lets you add animated speech and thought bubbles to your Final Cut Pro videos—fast, fun, and with zero keyframes. Whether you’re adding a witty one-liner, an inner monologue, or some comic relief, Bubble Pop gives your footage something to say.

General Workflow

Here’s how to use Bubble Pop in just four easy steps:

1. Drag and drop your bubble into the timeline.
   
2. Add your text.
   
3. Customize the look and feel.
   
4. All done!
   

Seriously. That’s it.

Tip

Turn on Float Animation (Up & Down, Rotation) to make your bubbles gently drift around like they’ve got somewhere better to be.

What’s in the Box?

Troubleshooting

My bubble vanished!
Make sure it’s not floating off-screen. Check your float settings and opacity sliders.

Animations not behaving?
Try enabling one animation at a time to isolate the issue, then reintroduce others.

Custom bubble looks warped?
Reset the points and adjust gently. You’re bending space-time—treat it delicately.

Shadow looks off?
Adjust blur and distance until it plays nice with your video’s lighting.
