Final Cut green screen key in HD. Good Enough?

This basically is my question. Some of this is too complicated. I'd rather not do AE and Automatic Duck if possible. I might have to go into my own pocket have someonee come in here and show me what to do. I think FCP would save me time. Would it?

The are tons of video tuts on youtube and the web on how to use a green screen program.
Here is a tut by Video Copilot's Andrew Kramer. Even tho it is for After Effects you can translate it over to Motion.

This is a user2user board for FCPX - maybe better you discuss your issues with the makers of that 'plug in'
Seems for me a bit 'fishy', isn't it? - other professional plug-in makers deliver with an installer... That advice at AppStore, how to install it, is ... rare:
How install it ? – click the launch button. Motion 5 will start itself. When Motion is open click save as. Write a generator name - Lens Flare and choose category RGB HOUSE or make it. Click Publish and you are done. If you don’t have Motion 5 look at support site - how to install in FCP.
How it works ? – In Final Cut Pro you will find in Generators RGB HOUSE group, where will be Lens Flare. Drag this generator above all clips in timeline. When it’s there remember to change blending mode to Screen (in video section). You can adjust color, steak color, glow, intensity, scale - apacity and blur of artifacts, position. Any parameter could be stored as a keyframe, so You can easily animate the flare.
so, I don't speak Spanish, lets have some fun with translate.google...:
Cómo instalarlo? - Haga clic en el botón de inicio. Motion 5 comenzará Misma. Cuando el movimiento está abierto clic en Guardar como escribir un generador de nombres -. Resplandor del objetivo y seleccionar categoría RGB CASA o hacerlo. Haga clic en Publicar y ya está. Si usted no tiene el movimiento 5 vistazo a sitio de soporte - cómo instalar en FCP.
Cómo funciona? - En Final Cut Pro se encuentra en el grupo generador RGB CASA, donde serán destello de lente. Arrastre este generador por encima de todos los clips en la línea de tiempo. Cuando es allí te acuerdas de que cambiar el modo de fusión a la pantalla (en la sección de vídeo). Usted puede ajustar el color, color carne, brillo, intensidad, escala - falta de definición apacidad y artefactos de su posición. Cualquier parámetro podría almacenarse como un fotograma clave, por lo que puede animar fácilmente la antorcha.
Hope it makes at last a little sense... I don't trust these automatic translators
(the German translation is ... awesome funny!)
Finally: it's from 2012! Needs probably an update - contact the dealer!

Can't open Final Cut Pro anymore. HELP!!!

I can't open my Final Cut Pro. When I click to open it, a message comes up saying, "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." It tells me to click reopen to open the application, but every time I click reopen, the same message screen comes back. I can't open Final Cut. I need help.

I am having same exact problem.
It was working fine for years, and all of a sudden, after a Mac Os X Software Update it will NOT open, ( I think this may have caused the problem, however I am not sure)

How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.

Final Cut Express: Audio question. Please help!

Hi, I'm new to Final Cut Express and I have a random question.
I have a 2 minute video that I put into my timeline sequence. I added photos over some of the video and now I decided that I want to delete the rest of the video and audio since 2 minutes is too long. Well, now it will allow me to delete the video but not the audio. Does anyone know how to make in/out points for just the audio? and to cut it? Every time I make an in/out point, it only allows me to do it for the video. Now, I have this two minute-long audio that I need to get rid of that I just can't seem to delete/cut.
If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
~Alice

You're making In and Out points in the timeline right? Make sure the autoselect buttons are black for the tracks you want to select.

Another Final Cut Studio 2 question...

Hey guys,
I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this question.
A little while ago I had the Academic version of the Production Suite then last year, I bought my MacBook Pro. I upgraded for the Final Cut Studio when they had the promotion to upgrade for 200$ or whatever it was.
Now, my question is... since I upgraded from my Academic FCP to the generic upgrade (which I'm assuming was the same upgrade for everyone since there's no more Academic badge,) can I purchase the FinalCut Studio 2 upgrade? Or do I need to get the Academic version?
Is there a way to make sure, with my serial number, which kit I'm allowed to buy?
Another quicky; I have a Dual 2.5G5 PowerMac and I noticed that my graphics card doesn't meet the requirements for Color. What's the suggested graphics card for this system that will work with all the studio apps? I don't want something that's too expensive. It's funny because the graphics card on my MacBook Pro meets the requirements but the screen doesn't and my PowerMac's graphics card doesn't meet the requirements but my screen has a high enough resolution...
I know it's a long post but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

They only say that you need the video card in that the Quad came with stock... The 9600 Pro is in spec with Color, which is one of the main reasons why I'm upgrading! I have a month to find one... The local shop has been backordered for awhile and it seems the same fate for online vendors I'm looking for an alternative!

Edit to tape in Final Cut Studio 2 question

This entire week we've been dividing time and shoots using one camera, a Panasonic DVX100A. As a result I think the settings on our camera and computer have changed a bit between shoots. That being said I'm having a problem doing an 'Edit to Tape' from the file menu in Final Cut Pro 6.0.3. When the Edit to Tape window comes up, we set the in point there after pulling over the Sequence we want to edit to tape on the camera monitor for the recorder it says it's recording. However, all I see it a blue screen with the 'REC' notice at the top. Since we've done this using this camera a few times I'm not sure what settings may have changed. To sum up, I need to know what has to change in order for me to effectively edit a sequence to tape in FCP 6. Thanks (most definitely) in advance for your help!

Alex, thanks for your help. I didn't notice one of the FCP settings for my camera had been changed. Funny how working at 2:45 a.m. can sneak up on your brain.
Thanks again & take care!

Viewer not playing video in Final Cut Pro!! HELP !!!!!!

I am on final cut pro version 10.0, and when I imported a clip and put it into the timeline, as the video plays, the viewer has a black screen! I can hear the audio as the video plays but the viewer is not showing the video.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Sounds like you haven't downloaded the codecs for that video. Try this.
If you bought FCPX from Apple, you should update from the App Store. Otherwise, no reason to be running 3 year old software.

New Final Cut 5 User Question

Hi
Im a new user and I have a question. Using Final Cut Pro 5.something on a MacBook Pro
I am importing a video with an odd resolution into sequence. Even if I change the sequence settings to match the video, the program still says I need to render the video to see it. Rendering takes WAYYY too long.... is there a way to have a sequence import settings from a video? I pulled up the video analysis and tried to match the settings of the sequence, but its not working.
Thanks
Connor

Final Cut Express 4.0 Help. :((((

Hi guys I am having a few problems with Final Cut Express.
I have used a screen recorder (Screenflick) to record clips of my desktop with dimensions 765 x 503. They save as a .mov file and I don't compress them to avoid quality loss.
I am wondering if there is a setting in Final Cut Express 4.0 which allows you to edit clips and string them together in the dimensions of 765 x 503. At the moment, I am using DV-NTSC (720 x 480) which is the closest I can find at the moment. When I edit my clips with zoom in effects and I export the movies, there is an enormous quality loss even if I export with no compression. Any ideas to prevent this?
Also, when I add transitions between my clips they won't go larger than 0.001 seconds. The clips are recorded with 60 frames per second so there should be plenty of frames for the video transitions. Any ideas why this isn't working?
All help appreciated guys, thank you.

The inability to create transitions is because your clips do not have "handles". For a full description read this article carefully - several times if necessary:-
http://www.fcpbook.com/Effects1.html
The problem is caused because you cannot put transitions between COMPLETE clips.
You MUST cut off at least half a second from the end of each clip where it "touches" the transition.
That's HOW you do it ........ the article will explain WHY.

Green Screen Question

Hello: New to motion & had a question about a green screen effect. I shoot my subject in front of a green screen and move the camera. At some point, the camera shoots an unwanted edge of the green screen, revealing a wall in the background. As long as my subject has not crossed into view of that edge and wall, am I able to somehow Mask out that unwanted area and replace it with a matching green before I lay the video over a background?
Thanks in advance.

if you are dealing with the green screen filter in Motion, then do it all in Motion.
You wont need to replace the wall or edge with green. If you mask this off with a regular mask ( which by the way is about forty million times easier to create and adjust in Motion than in FCP - that's a rough guess but its about that much)
the background will show beneath it.
hope this helps

FINAL CUT PRO 7 - Please Help!

Suddenly my final cut pro project is unreadable -- the clips on the timeline are now grey and they don't show on the viewer anymore. The audio is inaudible, except for some weird cracking sounds. What is going on?? Please help me!

Hey Cecilia153,
Thanks for the question. In troubleshooting this issue, a great place to start would be to delete the user preferences:
Final Cut Pro 7: Troubleshooting Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1846
Remove receipts and reinstall Final Cut Pro
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Final Cut Pro 7. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Final Cut Pro 7 and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Pro 7. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Pro 7.
Next, see if you can locate the media in Finder and attempt to open it with Quicktime. If the media is not damaged, and plays fine, you might need to reconnect it to Final Cut Pro:
Final Cut Pro 7 User Manual: Reconnecting Clips to Media Files
http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=92%2 6section=6%26tasks=true
Reconnecting Clips to Media Files
Clips in your project don’t have to be offline for you to use the Reconnect Media command. You can reconnect media files to clips in your project at any time, since all you are doing is changing the file path stored in the clip’s Source property.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Final Cut Server Usage Question...

I have just started researching this product and confused a little about it. I am the IT dept at a small advertising agency that does quite bit of video work.
Mostly all of the workstation in the office are PowerMac G5's that clock in at dual 2.2GHz or above with 4GB of RAM
We also have an Xserve G5 (Dual) with 4GB of RAM a 2GB fibre card installed and an apple RAID system as well. The office is all wired with 10/100.
With final cut server - will they be able to actullay edit video over the network on the RAID through the Xserve. Is that what this software is for? Sorry for such a lame question. If not is this basically like Adobe's Bridge application?
Let me know.

Yes it does do basically what your saying, You can leave the source media on the server and just edit from your local machine. You can also download proxies (lower res version of the source media) and edit on a laptop or with a PC without having to move the large source files.
I cant imagine any reason why any company or small business using more than one editing machine wouldn't go for this solution
Does that answer your question?

I am a beginner at Final Cut Pro. Need help converting MPEG-2 to use.

I am a beginner at Final Cut Pro. I have mpeg-2 video footage that I am trying to import the footage into Final cut, but can't. I understand I need to convert the file format. I am unfamiliar with how to go about the converding file formats and the codec what is the best way to go about converting the file format so I can edit it on Final cut pro?

Where did the files originate? (How were they created?)
Some formats can be brought in with the help of plug-ins.
MPEG Streamclip can usually convert them to Quick Time.
