Are there other better plugins for keying green screen

I have started to use a green screen, and for the most part, its good, except for a few places in my actors head that fade in and out, I was wondering if there was a better, more powerful plugin to key out the green screen then what comes with FCP? thanks

Better than what ? what are you using? FCP6 up has excellent chroma keying capabilities .. I use FCP 7.01 but had FCP 6 before, both have (under effects) Keys; color smooth 4:2:2 then the Chroma Keyer .. There is a lot of fine adjustments of the Sat, Luma and edge softening which affect the end result .. To get it right it is long adjust / correct process but quality results often take time ..Have a look at Ken Stones tutorial (old, 2004, but still very valid principles): +http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/chroma_key_fcp_hdmonahan.html.+
A tip on posting here is to give lots of detail on what you are using, what the end deliverable is (media / format etc) it helps the real experts .. I exclude me from that list I am fairly new .. many users on this forum are industry experts and the detail you give the more helpful their responses will be..
Have a look
Good luck

  • Are there other good browsers for 10.4?

    I have been having Safari problems that I cant sort out. Are there other good browsers even better?
    Bob

    Hi, Bob.
    I use OmniWeb. IMO far superior to Safari for the following reasons:
    1. Try disabling animations in Safari, a basic function in other browsers, including OmniWeb: nowhere to be found in Safari.
    2. OmniWeb provides sophisticated content filtering, built-in and easily tailored. I virtually never see advertising. Other than popup blocking, Safari has no such built-in capability.
    3. With OmniWeb, you can selectively disable plugins. With other browsers, disabling plugins is all-or-nothing. I run with Flash disabled (no annoying Flash ads) but can still use other plugin-dependent content, like QuickTime. Once again, Safari can't do this: plugins are all-or-nothing.
    4. With OmniWeb, you can set site-specific preferences. For example, you may have one site on which you like the links to be underlined, but on other sites you do not want underlined links. Once again, something Safari cannot do.
    5. OmniWeb is far more stable: I can't recall the last time OmniWeb crashed. Safari seems to be crash-prone and particularly subject to cache errors.
    6. The OmniWeb folks actually listen to their registered users. I submitted requirements like #1 above via the Safari feedback and no joy. I suggested #3 to the OmniWeb folks and it was in the next release.
    OmniWeb is available as a free trial. It's worth the license fee.
    Good luck!

  • My daughter wants to purchase an ipod touch.  Are there charges or fees for texting ipods other than ios5 systems (i.e. ios4's, etc.)?

    My daughter wants to purchase an ipod touch.  Are there charges or fees for texting another ipod with a system other than the ios5 (i.e. ios4,etc.)?

    Also, there is no battery percentage. The battery drains quicker than in iOS 6. The high power consumption may be fixed in the next update.

  • Are there other options for renting and downloading movies?

    I have watched movies downloaded from Apple a couple of time, but I really don't like the iTunes interface - my main complaint is that there is no way to filter movies so that I can quickly scan for rentals. 
    I rarely watch any movie more than one time, so I have no interest in buying a movie - I only want to rent, and it is a huge waste of time to hunt through iTunes movies one by one to see if I can rent it or not.  It just not worth my time.
    I don't know if Apple plans to fix this shortcoming or not, but until then, are there other options for downloading rental movies to watch on my MacBook Pro or my iPad?  Online streaming is fine, and I use Netflix and others for that, but I would like to get movies to watch on airplanes and other places where I don't have an internet connection.
    Thanks

    Funny you should ask... At about the same time that the Xserve was discontinued, we also lost our channel rep of nearly 14 years. Right now we are not sure who our rep is. I have however, sent this to as many people in Apple that I could think of. And I plan on continuing to reach out to as many as possible.
    The sad reality is that this decision is impacting customer deployments and the future of customer installations. Apple strives for market share and loves to tout those numbers. But the numbers we fought for over these last eight years are going to disappear.
    As much as this impacts our business, we are making up for it in enterprise deployment of systems. We will survive and lead in our geographic area. I do not fear that. But OS X Server is a UNIX server and with it has come all of the benefits of a UNIX system, including legitimacy in a data center. The Intel Xserve cemented this reality because of its hardware configuration and form factor. Yes, we have G4 and G5s still in service. But those are mostly in all Mac shops that understand the benefits and can work around the buzz word limitations. But fortune 100/500 IT departments did not really get on board until the release of the Intel server.
    Still beating the drum to raise awareness. Spread the word and talk to your Apple reps.
    Also, ask about the direction that Apple's Enterprise team is going. If the news I hear is correct, then our fears about all things pro and enterprise going away are likely true.

  • Are there other internet browsers that work well displaying websites with a lot of Flash content?

    Other than the browser that came on the Samsung Droid Charge....
    Are there other internet browsers that work well displaying websites with a lot of Flash content? 
    Thanks in advance!

    I use Dolphin Browser 6.0. Its faster than 5.0 and has no issues with Flash.  I have used flash and used the Beta 6.0 and now the actual released version. Its the best so far. It has tabs like a normal computer browser and even has a gesture feature to do scrolling. 
    Others are Firefox which has NO flash. Then there is SkyFire which is ok, uses its servers to compress data and show it on your phone, its quick but I found the quality of images not as good as stock. 
    Opera Mobile and Mini do the same as skyfire.
    I personally just didnt care for Xscope of Miren browsers.  Didnt care for the feel of Xscope and Miren was developed in China and is modeled after Iphone Browser. 
    Try em all if you want, biggest benefit of the aftermarket browser is you can sync certain accounts (dolphin with google, firefox with firefox) and instead of storing the Cache info using phone memory you can now save the data and the web browser on the SD card. 

  • Are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    It's that last sentence I'm curious about.  "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
    I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard.  I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
    Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
    Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
    My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.

  • Are there planned price increases for renewal of creative cloud subscription

    My renewal for creative cloud is pending.Are there price increases planned for creative cloud single app renewal?

    I should have wrote, "I am better off, purchasing the Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium at $1899.00 and upgrading every 2 years at a cost of $375."
    So....
    Let's do some basic arithmatic
    CC Suite is $49.99 x 12 = $599.98 per year || $1199.76 / 2 years || $1799.74 / 3 years || $2399.72 / 4 years || $2999.70 / 5 years || $3599.68
    When you compare to purchasing the Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium at $1899.00 and then upgrading every 2 years at a cost of $375, it only takes 4.5 years before the CC subscription begins to surpass the 'owning' the product license model. Of course, the Adobe finance people know this very well and that is why the subscription model is absolutely adored!
    My graph clearly illustrates this... hopefully I don't annoy the Adobe people with this... not my intention.
    I am rounding values and not taking into account regional price differences nor am I accounting for price increases.
    I should add that at a subscription rate of $29.99 per month, Adobe still stands to make significantly more money, over the long term... but the mid-point is just over 9 years, rather than 4.5 years and that is a more palatable proposition... I am guessing... for most of us.
    Adobe, don't be greedy!

  • Are there different php functions for Oracle 8 and 9?

    Hi!
    Are there different php functions for Oracle 8 and 9?
    Thanks for your answer!

    You can use the oci8* functions for Oracle 8, 9 and 10.
    It is the most recent PHP interface to Oracle, and uses Oracle's most recent
    API.
    The name oci8 comes from the version number of Oracle - version 8 - when
    Oracle introduced a new C API. It succeeded the original OCI and got the
    common name OCI8. The original OCI now has the common name of OCI7.
