Cannot set points in Garbage Matte

I am trying to use the garbage matte effect and this is my problem. No matter which I apply (4,8 or 16 point), I cannot figure out how to access the set points. The initial matte appears on the clip, and I can adjust the matte using the x and y axis (numerically), but I cannot grab and set the points of the matte on the clip itself in the control window. All I can do is seletc one of the four corners and move the entire clip around. Can you provide some insight into what I might try to get this to work? Thanks.

I have found that the visualization of the garbage matte bounding box points is not version specific.
The matter goes to having your Timeline video selected and the Garbage Matte Panel selected in Properties Panel (in your case)....however, the following is an example from Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit
Timeline Video Selected, but 16-Point Garbage Matte in Properties Palatte not...; consequently, no points seen to adjust.
Timeline Video Selected and 16-Point Garbage Matte Panel selected/highlighted in Properties Palette
Happens to me all the time, no matter what version. So, it has made a lasting impression.

Export 8-point Garbage Matte.

I have been using 7toX to transfer old projects in to FCP X recently, and have discovered that the 8-point Garbage Matte effect is no longer included.
That being said, the effect obviously didn't transfer over with the clip.
How can I export only the clip with the matte effect from FCP 7, and import into FCP X, and still retain "transparency"?
It's a simple project.
Clip on V1, and second clip on V2 with the 8-point matte applied, revealing V1 below.
I have soloed the V2 clip and set In and Out and exported to ProRes 422 quicktime and imported into FCP X, but the background is simply black, and does not retain the transparency.
I am familiar with this process in Photoshop, by starting with a transparent background, but do not know the worflow with FCP.
Thank you for your help.

Hey, thanks a lot! Did the trick. You learn something new everyday..
Just to clarify, for future reference:
Soloed the clip with matte effect, exported to prores4444 with "millions of colors +", dropped in to FCP X and matte/alpha were intact!

Garbage Mattes not letting me move points

I am trying to use a Garbage Matte at several points in a video, which worked fine the other day; I was able to add a garbage matte around a person using a 50-point matte plugin, which was nice and smooth. Trying to add another similar effect, it no longer works; the red + appears when I click the + in the filter menu, and I can move the red + around, but it does nothing. I can set all of the points but the effect is not applied and nothing is cut out.
This is not something to do with the external plugin; I have tried this with the built-in 8-point and 4-point Garbage mattes, but they have done the same thing. Why is the effect not working? What can I do to apply/activate the effect?
I am using FCE 4.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
It appears that all of my video filters are not functioning properly. I added the "Basic 3D" effect to a clip the other day, and now when I tried to modify the clip, the entire filter stopped functioning. The same happens to the 50-point matte I set up the other day. When I change them at all, they stop working!
My video filters in general seem to not work! Help!!!

Problem with garbage Matte 8-point

I filmed a video in one go and did not touch the camera at all. I split the clip and then put one on top of the other to use the eight-point garbage matte effect. The problem is the two clips don't match. There's a small difference in colour and it doesn't look like the two clips are aligned with each other.
timeline:
ps I am very new to Premiere Pro.
Help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have been putting a feature request for that for many cycles now.
But our prayers have been answered.
In CC next: masking and tracking for all effect incl feathering.
Check out first feature.

Turning off the keyframe numbers on an 8 point Garbage Mattes?

I'm trying to turn off the key frame numbers on the 8 point Garbage Matte because they cover up parts of the paths/outlines I am trying to create...
Can they be removed or at least moved or shrunk?

Keyframes don't have numbers. Are you referring to the point labels? If so, in the Filter tab of the Viewer window, check the box "Hide Labels."

8 point garbage matte; not able to keyframe?

I made a first attempt at green screen and the results were imperfect; I thought I could use the matte to improve results but I can't seem to get it to keyframe and alter the shape during the duration of the clip (the subject is moving). If I need to activate something to be able to keyframe the garbage matte, please advise - thanks

What version of the software are you using? You should be able to go into the keyframe graph in the viewer. There are diamond keyframe buttons for each of the points.

Third party garbage matte for ppro cs5?

Hi there!
I started using ppro cs5 some months ago, coming from fcp, because of the gamma issue in fcp, because of the fact that you can import Red's r3d's directly and because ppro and redcine x communicate nicely. To my amazement there's no decent way of handling a garbage matte, i.e. smoothing it or using edge feather. I'm not about to spend another large sum on after effects--if it communicates directly with ppro like redcine x I will, but I'm afraid it's a question of exporting and importing, which I really dislike--in other words: does anyone know about a third party plugin with a decent garbage matte for ppro cs5?
Many thanks,
Hans

The build in gargage is no good as you cannot feather it BUT...
....you can make your own garbage matte in the Titler. Make a filled bezier shape in pure white.
superimpose over you footage and add a blur to make it feather.
Add Track Matte Effect to footage and set this to the matte.
If you want an animated matte drop the garbage matte effect on a white color matte, add the blur and keyframe the points over time.

Thin white outline around garbage matte

Hi All,
I have a problem with a garbage matte rendering with a thin white line around it. Basically I've got 2 tracks of video. The bottom track is green screen footage, but its not a very clean key and some of the center of the image is being keyed away. So I put a copy of the footage on track 2 and used an 8 point garbage matte to keep part of the image intact. The garbage matte is keyframed throughout the clip. For whatever reason the matte has a thin white line around it when the sequence is exported. I'm attaching a stillframe to illustrate the problem. Anyone know why this is occuring?
Thanks,
Chris

I see no thin white line in that still image. Where am I supposed to be looking?
Wait, okay, you could have been morespecific what to look for or that we really needed to boost the magnification.
ONly visible when exported? Not visible in the timeline at the serquence settings?
As suggested, a feather will blend the two layers a bit better but you might end up with a feathered thin white line, too.
More specifics, what's the source footage format? What the sequence setting? What's the export format?

Residual hard edges with garbage mattes (v. 5 to 6)

Hello,
Thanks in advance! (I've searched for the answer and found nothing.)
I have a short film, edited in FCP 5, and I've used garbage mattes all over it. I brought it to a production house in order to create some Digibeta exhibition copies, and when exporting (they are using FCP 6), I noticed the garbage mattes (both 8-point and 4-point) had hard edges on them (although they are all feathered edges in the file). I am very experienced with mattes, and have used them extensively, but have never come across this before. I can't see any of these hard edges on my home system, although I use a large monitor. They also do not show up on the burned dvds I've made, nor when I projected them on to a 9 foot screen recently.
Is there something happening in the conversion from 5 to 6 that could be causing this? The frustrating thing is that I am trying to fix something I cannot actually see at home (and working on it at the production house is ludicrously expensive.) Could it be something they are doing? I need to resolve this soon, as the film is having a premiere in 3 weeks and the festival needs the digibeta!
Please help, and thank you again so much for your time!
Greg

Something similar is happening with me. I'm using soft edge mattes and dissolving between them on V2. During the dissolve, you can see the edge, even though the edge is masked and feathered on the shot. There are no key frames added. This happens more frequently when I have repositioned the shot. I've tried to re-render all the dissolves and the same thing keeps happening.

Garbage Mattes...RED Crosshairs???

I am trying to work on some garbage mattes and I am noticing a RED Crosshair when I am trying to adjust the clip. It's removing a giant chunk of the clip automatically when I simply click say Point 1 for example. I didnt even drag the marker yet and half the clip is gone. Even when I hold down the Apple key its still not allowing me to adjust the clip like I want to. Is some setting on that should be off?

When you use the garbage matte, each of the corners is represented by a tiny red cross on the canvas. These are probably the crosshairs you are talking about. In the "Filters" window you see Point 1, Point 2 etc.- and then to the right of each is a button with a cross. If you click that button, then the point will show up in the canvas as a red cross and you can move it. If you click in the canvas far from the red cross you've chosen, then you may get freaked out because it will make drastic changes on your matte. Try clicking on the "corners" buttons in the "Filters" window and you'll see the crosses highlighted one at a time. These are your matte edges or corners that you can drag to make whatever shape you need. Once you move them, even a little, you have to re-click the button to get them back. It took me a while to master moving the red crosses around, but once I figured it out - what a great thing the garbage matte is! I wish there was a 32 point garbage matte.
Also, to see the whole matte, you may need to shrink your window size in the canvas - do this by choosing 50% from the pulldown menu below the small oval button on the top left of your canvas.

Premiere Pro shuts down while edditing garbage matte

Hi there,
I'm creating a movie in black and white, with only the person in color. Therefore I'm using a eight or sixteen point garbage matte. For some reason things don't work as the should do, since yesterday evening. I was doing exactly the same as I always did, but right now, when I move an anchor point, a message box pops up, saying: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shutdown. We will attempt to save your current project." Even when I restart the computer, or Premiere, the same happens.
I'm running Premiere Pro 4.1 (latest update) on Windows Vista, with 2GB of memory. Do you guys know what's going on?
Thanks in advance,
Pim

I agree. Two GB of RAM is about what it takes to just run Vista. Memory is very cheap. I'd first run out and flesh out the MoBo with 4GB (32-bit), or more if you're on Vista-64. Fill that puppy up and try again.
Good luck,
Hunt

[Solved?] VLC won't play audio -- cannot set buffer duration

I can't play sound in VLC. I have tried the default and the ALSA outputs. I know ALSA works, because mpg123, speaker-test, and rdesktop's sound all work. (Saying that, I can't tell if mpg123 uses alsa or not - rdesktop does though)
Attempting to play something in VLC gives me some rather cryptic errors. What follows is the output of "vlc -v" and an attempt to play a video with sound. I have split the "code"-tag just before the actual error output for clarity and ease of scanning.

I have no idea where to start with this issue, I've tried googling but it seems that only one person has ever had this issue before (if Google is to be considered a reputable source), and he was running his own VLC build. I am running the build "pacman -S vlc" gave me. If anyone could point me in the right direction on this issue I'd be grateful.
Edit: This is my /etc/asound.conf. I have no idea what any of this means, at this point it's fill-in-the-blanks wiki copypasta (Edit2: The purpose of this file is to try to stop alsa from sending all my sound through a disconnected HDMI instead of the speakers)

Situation update:
1. I didn't need my asound.conf like that -- I should have used pulseaudio in the first place, I was unaware that ALSA does not allow more than one program to use the sound device at the same time, whereas pulseaudio is used to mix sounds.
2. VLC works fine on PulseAudio. No idea why it failed on ALSA!

OK.
Please follow this step.
1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

Cannot set user query to view "{0}" because it is a destination in a view link

Hi
11.1.1.7 - I have 2 programatically view objects. I have created a viewLink between them and I am getting the error:
Cannot set user query to view "MyView2" because it is a destination in a view link.
Does anyone know what are the methods I need to implement? I have follow the Frank Nimphius Post: Oracle ADF: Service, Please! and it is working fine. However, after seeing this example: Decompiling ADF Binaries: Building programmatically managed business components - Part 2 - I realised that I am missing some other stuff to make the view link work. There are too many methods and its quite difficult to understand and digest all classes and methods etc.
Anyone can please point me in the right direction?
Regards

Which version are you using? Could you maybe turn on logging (http://blog.goverco.com/p/psmalogging.html) and post content of log file if you still have the issue...
Also, remember that even though you set credentials in the PARAM section, these values are overwritten by the ones specified on the properties of the MA - so make sure that you specify correct creds on the MA. Specifying creds directly in the script makes
for an easy way of testing from the PowerShell prompt, but not for running the script from the MA / Run Profiles

Good, Glad 101 looks useful.
Part of the fun with any new computer is the 'finding out process'. Take your iTunes question for example.   There are two paths apart from Apple formal notes (if you can find them).   One is Google.   In this case I Googled 'how to delete iTunes content' and as you would expect, up came a variety of answers. The point and the value is that as people have different needs, the variety of answers meet each.
Two is the search box to the top right of your page.   When you are in the communities forums you can ask there in a similar way to googling.   The advantage is that all answers are for Macs.   Odd though it seems, I prefer to go hunting with Google.
Now, I don't have an iPad or iPhone so unsyncing is a foreign exercise to me ...
but I just Googled 'How to Unsync iPad and iPhones from Windows and ... here are some of the answers.
How to Unsync Iphone and iPad from Windows - Google Search
Hope this helps you get to grips with your iMac.   It's a lovely machine; you did the right thing in buying it.   By the way, when you have a moment, do fill in your profile, particularly the items you have, their version numbers, RAM and so on.
