Can I take a selection from one clip and put it into another?

I'm pretty new to this so thanks. I want to assemble a clip that has parts of three different takes. Splitting the screen works for a couple of the takes..but i'm wondering if I can use the four point matting to isolate a character and put him into another clip...the backgrounds are the same and the set up when shot is the same...but there is no blue or green screen involved so I'm wondering if this is possible in FCP. Hopefully the question makes sense...thanks!

So you are trying to "cut out" your subject and paste him onto another take? Should be easy enough- just use the four or eight point matte to cut out a square around the subject, then layer that clip on top of the other take you want to superimpose him in. As long as the angle/lighting were the same, it should work. If you find you want a more complicated matte, try Tom's 50 Point Matter, which has a bezier curves option.

  • How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

    As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event.  Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want.  However, here's how I do it. 
    Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
    In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

  • How can you remove a figure from one photo and put it in another?

    I am trying to move a figure (dog) from one photo/pic to another.  Is this possible with elements?

    Yes, you should not have any trouble.
    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from (the dog) to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

    Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

  • Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

    Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo?  Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo?  Thanks.

    Thank you very much!  Does this require software to be purchased?  I'm new to Photoshop.

    Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
    I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
    Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
    For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
    I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
    Good luck,

  • Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

    Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

    Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

  • Can i take the ram from macbook pro and put it in mac mini?

    Hey guys currently I have 8 gb of ram in my late 2011 mac macbook pro and was wondering if I could take it and put in into my new 2012 mac mini?  Thanks for the help?

    Only if they use the same RAM. That means same specs. Your Mini requires faster RAM than is installed in the MBP. They are not interchangeable.

  • Is it possible to take Adobe photoshop off one computer and put it in another

    Need help

    Hi natalie 87*,
    First of all you did not mention which version of Photoshop and what is the Operating System.
    Also if you are asking about copying the photoshop installed folders and pasting on another machine then it will not work.
    But yes, you can uninstall from one machine and install it on the other using the Serial Number and the installation media. You can also use Adobe applications on two different machines.

  • Is it possible to uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements 13 from one computer and put it on another PC, using the same serial number?

    I had installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13 on my laptop, which is slow. Is it possible to completely remove the program from my laptop, and reinstall it on another PC, using the SAME installation disc?

    Tomquer
    If all you have is the Premiere Elements 13 purchased activated serial number on one Windows computer, you can go ahead and do nothing else but install the program from the disc on the second Windows computer with the same purchased serial number.
    That will leave you with the purchased activated serial number on two of your computers.
    Adobe allows you the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. So, nothing to do but to use one at a time.
    Lots of scenarios beyond.
    1. Deactivate Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1. Do not bother to uninstall. Deactivation is not the same as uninstall.
    To deactivate, in an opened Premiere Elements 13 project, go to Help Menu/Sign Out. Close out of there.
    Then do nothing, leave the program in the deactivated/installed state.
    2. Deactivate and Uninstall Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1.
    Any questions or need clarification, please let us know.
    Thanks.
