Follow up to my Luma Key problem

Hi again,
Tom has answered to my Luma Key problem of bad quality by recomending me to put the oval form under my clip instead from above, and it worked verz well.
But now I have another problem, I want now my oval to cross disolve to have the full scene that is now under to come gradually fully on screen. I have a cross disolve at the begining and at the end of the oval. Its fine for the oval to come gradually from full black screen to an oval with behind the 2nd scene, but when it shall starts to disolve, nothing happens. I also try with the pen, adding points and then pulling down in order to have the oval clip gradually dissolving, but nothing works ! Any clue ?
Thanks,
Nic

Nicolas,
One way to do this is:
- Oval on V1
- Clip1 on V2 with Composite Mode > Travel Matte Luma
- Clip1 also on V3. Change it's opacity so it is 0 until the required number of frames before the end of the Oval. Then increase it's opacity to 100 at the end of the Oval.
There might be a more efficient way to do this.

  • Problem with Chroma/Lume Keys while using Drop Shadows

    I have been using the box now for almost two years and I still am getting problems with green/blue/purples artifacts showing up after a chroma/luma key has been applied with a drop shadow. The artifacts do not show up under a preview but only when the sequence has been rendered. As soon as I take the drop shadow off, the artifacts go away. This is happening with both still graphics with or without Alphas and green/blue screen video. Please help, am I just missing something or is there a work around that I could be using.
    Thanks,

    c'mon, Bogie - tell us what you really feel - don't hold back... < </div>
    Oh, Patrick, buddy, I am so totally torqued out of shape today. Don't get me started. Too late. FCP's insane render handler is dropping my files, seemingly at random. The nests, Motion and LiveType material are not rendering in the correct order which makes the effects all wonky.
    I add drop shadows in the last stage and FCP just ain't holding it together. I get glitches. And then I keep getting these Media Offline notices because FCP cant' track the render files that are actually in use in the upstream nests.
    I'll certainly admit a likely a user error. I just don't know what it could be. I've somehow told FCP to destroy its children.

  • How to set luma key in FCX 10.1.2?  Luma key adjustments do not open when selecting the  Effects button on the toolbar.

    Using FCPX 10.1.2 and trying to adjust a luma key, when selecting the Effects button on the Toolbar, the adjustments do not appear.  Any suggestions?

    TThe effects controls should be in the inspector. Select the clip in the timeline and post a screen shot of the video inspector.

  • Chroma Key/Luma Key Visualizer Help!

    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to this video production ind of thing, and I was trying to use chroma key and luma key like people in tutorials on youtube do all the time, and all they do is drag and drop the effect onto their video in the timeline, and a new tab with a visualizer pops up. But, when I do this absolutely nothing happens, it just stays the same. If anybody could help, that would be great!
    Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Make sure the clip you want to affect is loaded into the Viewer (double-click it). You should see the effect you applied in the Filters tab - some filters, like the Chroma Key, also have a visual component you can open.

  • My browser keeps trying to create new tabs on clicks though I've followed the directions to fix the problem, but it only works for a while.

    Things will be working fine...then suddenly I start getting a new tab with every click. I've followed the directions to fix the problem, and usually deleting the mimes.pdf for a full reset works, but I'm getting tired of this. Everything is up to date as far as I can tell, and my virus and malware programs seem to find nothing wrong. I'm getting tired of this...help??

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • 'Keys' problem when trying to re install 10.2 on Power Mac G4

    Have had my Power Mac G4 wiped clean prior to selling and am now trying to reinstall 10.2.
    Install disc one reached the end of its loading process and then froze.
    Install disc two did not respond when loaded.
    Put install disc one back in while holding down 'C' key. Started to install but soon stopped.
    Went to Disc First Aid > verify disc > 'keys out of order HD need repairing'.
    Clicked 'repair disc' and indicated 'repair complete'.
    Returned to 'verify disc' > HD needs repairing, key length too short.
    Repaired once more, keys still out of order.
    Removed Install disc one and loaded Disc Warrior.
    Speed inhibited by malfunction stage 5 when rebuilding directory.
    So with no full operating system loaded, how do we progress?

    John:
    "Keys problems" are directory issues which, if not repairable by Disk Utility need a third party package like Tech Tool Pro, DriveGenius, or Disk Warrior. However, in some cases the disk hardware may be damaged or the HDD may have failed and unable to hold the format. When in DU check the SMART status. Even if the SMART Status is Verified and the HDD is more than 3 years old you should consider replacement.

    This might just be a typical Mountain Lion network glitch..
    Reboot the TC.. that is usually enough to fix it.
    Otherwise restart the whole network from off.. Reboot items in correct order.
    Modem.. TC.. computer. 2min gap.
    Tell us if that doesn't fix it.

  • Luma Keying - Who's got a good starting point?

    So I've set up a video clip with a matte, and dragged in another layer into the matte well, and set it to luminance. I have added several filters to my matte source layer to create a high contrast image. It's working ok, but I was wondering if anybody out there has some filters and settings, they liked to share, that they use to start off with when doing this kind of procedure.
    On the matte source clip I have a Levels (to create contrast), a Colorize (to set all to b/w), a Channel Blur (to soften the edges and fill whole in the matte) and then on the Layer that contains my matte source I have another Levels to clean the matte even more.
    I started out trying the luma key on the clip I want to key but it wasn't much use on it's own.

    Well Ok I'll give the Luma Keyer another look. It just didn't seam to have much i don't know range (maybe). It seemed as if it bit to much out of the image I wanted in or left to much of the white I wanted out. I'll look again.
    Mark,
    I was asking about Luma Keying first but also thru-in the key in general for future info. First look at Primatte RT didn't thrill. I've gotten use to Keylight so it will take a little fiddling to get use to some other keyer.
    Thanks for the info,

  • Replication for Data on DEV and QA - bad idea - primary key problem now

    I goofed.  I tried to use replication to keep the data on my dev machine up to date with the live server.  Now when I try to work on the database, adding new stuff, it fails.  It says there is a primary key problem every time I try to add
    a new item to a table with my program.  I should have realized this would happen!  Now, even though I've removed the replication, I'm having the problem.  Can anyone help me get my database functional again :/  Or should I resort to a database
    restore.  Thanks!

    So you have an IDENTITY column in your table? Run a
    DBCC CHECKIDENT (Transact-SQL) command with option RESEED to fix the current identity value to see if it works then.

  • Escape key problems.

    My escape key has been freaking out on me lately. It seems to randomly decide to press itself down very rapidly, and it continues to do so until I press the key myself, fairly hard. The key isn't jammed or anything. Is there anything I can do to fix this, short of paying a rediculous price to get a new keyboard. This escape key problem makes even the most simple action a chore.
    By the way, I'm using a Lenovo 3000 n100.

    Yes, they told me they didn't do any laptop work. And I sent it in when it was still under warenty, asking them to look at both my non-working USB drives (that were causing a odd power problem and causin the computer to not start), and my weird escape key. They seemed to of forgotten the escape key, and just looked at the USB drives. It's not under warenty any more, and I don't want to send it back to them again, after the ordeal I had to go through last time.
