Chroma Keying in Final Cut Pro 7 - Hard to key between parts of the talents hair ... any suggestions?

I have keyed the subject but I am having problems with getting the green out of the very top section of the hair where the talent's part is placed.
Green is only showing through at that point. Is there anything that can be done??
Thank you.

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

I use Final Cut Pro X to make YouTube videos. The sound is great when I watch the videos on certain computers, but muffled on others. How do I fix this?

You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage. The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer. What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
Just like me with broadcast TV shows. I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up. Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.

I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do

I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do?- I really need help!

It sounds as though you have a corrupt project - or possibly a file within an event that is causing the application to crash.
Quit FCP X, then move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is causing the problem.
Quit the app again, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X again - keep going until you find the cause.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Use the Mac App Store application and go to the purchased tab, which you'll find at the top of the Mac App Store window.

Final Cut Pro X does run extremely slow on the fastest macbook pro

So I bought the fastest MacBook Pro 2011 2.3 GHZ i7 8GB to start editing with final cut pro x. Even put in two Solid State Drive (vertex 3 max iops) (Vertex 3) 256GB.
So already to start and than the dissapointment. Final cut pro x is so slow that it is impossible to work with. constantly green image, movie freezes al the time. and the beachbal is constantly on the screen.
I must be doing something wrong but Can't figure it out. Editing the same files under Imovie is smooth without any problems?
Thanks for any help. starting to feel sorry that I bought a mac please change my mind.

Can I import projects from the full version of Final Cut Pro X from when I was using the trial version?

So I recently purchased the full edition of Final Cut Pro X, and was wondering why one of the projects I was working on at the time it expired imported back into FCP without asking me, but the other did not. I really need to use this file, but it is in the format of .fcpproject, so I really don't understand why I am not able to use it. It sometimes says when I try to open it that the version of that project was made in an updated version of FCP, or something to that affect, so it cannot be used. I have no idea why it says this, because as far as I know that is un-true. Any ideas?
Edit: I also don't want to delete the trial yet, a little apprehensive, like maybe I need it. But I might if it comes to that. I suppose the time did run out so it is practically worth nothing...

You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

Final Cut Pro X crashes when adding transitions, throughout the entire program.

I've had FCP X installed for a few weeks now, and I decided to hold back asking my question and see if anybody else is experiencing the same problems.
I did find one matching problem on the discussions forum, but the user found a solution which I tried, and did it did not work.
Everytime I try to add a very simple transition to my video in Final Cut Pro X, it gives me the spinning colorwheel, hesitates for a few seconds and then crashes.
It only does it with transitions, I can add effects, adjust color, etc. but only when adding transitions does it crash.
I've tried deleting events and original media, I've reimported using optimized media, I've tried both ways of keeping files in original locations and also copying to final cut events folder.
The video I'm using is full 1080p mov files from a Canon 5D Mark II.
It does it in the timeline as well as the secondary timeline.
I've tried the solution that the previous asker did, which was copying the content to another FCP event, and it didn't work for me. Still crashes whether I try to drag the transition to my timeline, use the keyboard shortcut, or double click.
I have a Early 2010 15 inch MBP i5 with 8gb of RAM running newest version of Snow Leopard.
Hope I've provided enough information
Thanks,
-Jon

Same Issue: Added a transition and then beach ball from **** and crash. Also lost two hours of work when it restarted and reverted to the last planned quit.
FCPX is benched until Lion and updates. Don't have time to be a beta tester on what might end up being a hobbyists toy.

HT201237 Final Cut Pro 10.2 quitting unexpectedly while using the motionVFXmFlare plug-in.

Hi guys
Recently updated to FCPX 10.2 and now it keeps crashing with the error: Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly while using the motionVFXmFlare plug-in.
I have contacted motionvfx about this, and I'm awaiting a response, but I thought I'd ask you guys if there's any way to revert to the previous version of the app for now since I can't use it at all right now and it's kind of important.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve Leach

hi
they updated their plugins for use in FCPX 10.2 and Motion 5.2. Boot up the mFlare software and it will prompt you to date.

Final Cut Pro crashes when video is added to the timeline.

I have Final Cut Studio 5, and every time I use Final Cut Pro, it crashes when I add video to the timeline.
I meet all the system requirements, have all the updates, have trashed preferences, and have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software.
Everything else in Final Cut Studio works fine. What should I do?

The codec for the sequence is "DV/DVCPRO- NTSC". I converted a .mov file to a DV movie, and Final Cut worked just fine when I put the file into the timeline.
So this solves the problem, but I have one question. Am I going to have to always convert files into this format now? Or is there a way I can import the files without it crashing?
Thank you.

I need to put final cut pro on another computer. I have the receipt via my itunes but I can't see what I need to be able to download it again? Can anyone help?

Can someone help. I've read the detail and have my order and invoice number but I can't seem to be able to find how to download fina cut pro onto another computer (it's on one and I have now taken that off and need to put it on another with a larger memory).
Anyone able to give me notes for a dummy?

Are you talking about FCP X? You just need to open the App Store application in the mac, login with the same Apple ID you used to buy the software, and click on "purchases".
If you mean legacy Final Cut, then you probably need to have the original disks, but you should ask in the Final Cut Studio forum.

Final Cut Pro 7: Audio Stops when clicking outside the program.

Just something that annoyed me and was wondering if their is a way to correct it. Whenever I am listening to a song within final cut in a video or in the viewer, it will stop playing if I click out of the program. For example i might be listening to a song and want to go do a google search or open another program and as soon as i do the audio stops. It will begin playing once i click back into final cut and everything works fine but its just bothersome. If anyone knows a way to change this please help me out!
Thanks
Josh

well, I think if I remember correctly that might be a normal state, because FCP wants to "take over" completely. My systems are on MacPros with Kona Cards and I/Os setup for 5.1 output. I think I lose audio because the Kona wants only one app controlling it at a time. I'd have to be sitting in front of the box to figure it out. But oddly enough I'm actually home.

HT4682 I have a samsung full hd 1920x1080 camcorder that doesnt seem to be compatible with final cut pro because when I try to load the videos onto it, the stills are just black and all I get is sound. Can someone help me?

Yeah any help would be appreciated.

I can't find any information about what format and specs this camera shoots. The only think I can find online is the manual as a PDF, which I'm not about to read. Maybe you could look through it and see if you can find out the specifications that this camera shoots. In all likelihood you'll have to convert the media using MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.
