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!🎊

FretBoard 3 updates Strummer effects
With Strummer for Final Cut Pro it’s easy to illustrate simple and complex strumming patterns while staying perfectly on beat. This powerful tool will revolutionize the way you visualize and present music.
You can easily represent up and down strumming strokes of stringed instruments like the guitar using the 4x8 or 4x16 grid, aligning the strokes with the different timing intervals within an 8 or 16-beat section of music.
With a single click, the 4-pattern grid is consolidated into one row, offering a visual representation of the complete strumming pattern. Display this alongside the additional bar counter to precisely indicate the up and down strokes within a 2 or 4-bar measure of music.
Drag the 8 or 16-beat Strummer clip onto the FCP timeline, matching it with the source clip's beats, and watch as the animated strums land perfectly on the beat, delivering impressive results swiftly and effortlessly.
1. Select a row of text 2. Use the spacebar to replace arrows with spaces - It's that simple!
Brilliant! You can use the new Strummer effects to illustrate 🥁drum patterns too!
