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!!!

    Hi Elaine
    Here si what I do:
    Since I tend to message with teh same people I leave the messages available to me.  If you are in one conversation with "Karen"  and want to message with "Kathy" tap the message back arrow and select Kathy.
    As always just be careful to rememeber who you are messaging to!

  • 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.

  • Garbage matte not working!!!

    I am having this problem where the lines and bounding boxes around a matte 4,8 or 16 point do not actually line up with the edge of the matte, making it virtually impossible to get the matte to the proper place. Furthermore in many cases the video will vanish completely when a matte is added unless the matte positions are left unchanged...
    long story short, this severely limits what i can do with my projects!!!

    >i just tried your suggestion of applying the matte to a duplicate layer
    Not what I tried to explain.
    New example:
    Video layer 3: Copy of the clip (or background), NO garbage matte applied here.
    Video layer 2: The clip with the garbage matte applied
    Video layer 1: Background
    Click on clip in Video layer 2, and then click on the garbage matte effect in "Video Effects".
    Now do the adjustments to the garbage matte.
    Deselect the garbage matte effect in "Video Effects" and remove (or click the eye-ball) in Video layer 3.
    This (the above) works quite fine for me.
    Your other problem I have never seen, but you should see if you somehow have managed to get keyframes when you have moved the still around when placing it to where you wanted it.
    Some people have said that the garbage matte bug has been fixed in CS4.

  • Garbage Matte Not Masking?

    I must be doing something stupid because this should really work according the manual:
    1. Video 1 has an AVI file.
    2. Video 2 has a PSD file created in Photoshop.
    3. I drag the 4-point Garbage Matt Key effect to the PSD clip.
    4, I use my mouse to drag each of the corner control points so that it bounds a small rectangle on the PSD. I can clearly see the control points and the bounding lines have correctly selected the desired shape.
    5. However, nothing is being masked. The entire PSD, including the area outside of the 4 points remains visible over the clip on Video 1.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    PSD:
    Type: Photoshop

    [fx] indicator is visible
    Other effects (e.g. opacity and motion) work fine on the PSD.

    Glad to know it is working fine on others machines. Here is a screen shot. The greyish clip in the background is Video 1. The brownish clip, Video 2, which I scaled down so you can see it on top of Video 1 is visible in its entirety, The bright area of the marqee  is surrounded by the 4-point matte.
    Thanks for the help.

  • My Apple TV is locked on a screen with iTune icon and USB cable and is not let me move to any other screen

    I bought Apple TV 3rd generation a couple days ago. It was no problem in the first day.
    I freshly installed iTunes on my computer and tried to learn about Home Share. Next day,it was locked this screen and I cannot move any other screen. The LED light on the front is glitting in fast. I've tried,
    1. Holding 'Menu' and 'down' butten for reset.
    2. Disconnecting power cable
    3. Turning off the router
    After that if I reconnect to TV, it shows same.
    Please help me...

    Welcome to the Apple Community Dongchun.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Mail application will not let me move items from 'junk' to 'trash'

    When I try to delete messages it tells me they can not be moved to the trash because an item is there already there
    or it quits unexpectedly.
    “37900.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same name already exists is the error message.
    Whether I highlight drag and drop, right click delete, or move manually one by one to trash.
    It is driving me bonkers any ideas?
    Re: My mail application is acting crazy. 

    1. Go to the Mailbox menu, and select Erase Deleted Items ..In All Accounts.
    2. Try Rebuild.
    Select a misbehaving mailbox and again go to the Mailbox menu and select Rebuild.
    Do this separately with each misbehaving mailbox.

  • Lightroom not putting folders in subdirectories as directed on import; then not letting me move folders to clean up because "folders already exist" (but they don't!) Please help!

    I have used Lightroom for years and have never had issues importing until a few weeks ago. I have a very organized system of files for my portraits - "Portraits" > "Babies & Families" > "2014" > "(Surname)". While importing I create a subfolder using the family surname under "Destination" in LR. It shows an italicized folder in the correct place prior to clicking "Import," but when I go to "Library" mode to select the folder, all the newly created folders are now on the root directory. I try to then drag and drop them to their proper place, but I'm told that a folder by this name already exists in that destination and won't allow the move. Tried emailing a contact at Adobe, and then followed up with a phone call, but haven't heard back. Desperately need help before my entire file system becomes one big mess. Any thoughts or advice graciously welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Anita

    Thanks for the tip. That partially took care of the problem. Now all the orphans are back together, but a new root folder called "Photos" has been created as the parent of a new set of "Portraits" > "Babies & Familes" > "2014". So now I have Root folder > "Portraits" > "Babies & Familes" > "2014" > "Surname" AND "Portraits" (at root) > "Babies & Familes" > "2014". I've tried to drag the Surname folders into the preexisting "2014" but it says they already exist, so then I tried dragging "2014" under the preexisting "Portraits" and was able to do that but it somehow screwed up the original "2014" folder which now has a "?" next to "2014" and all it's contents! It's getting worse! What now?

  • I am trying to delete adobe photoshop on my macbook as it is taking up too much space, it will not let me move it to trash, how do i delete it?

    How can i uninstall this application??

    It may not be the app itself that's taking up storage space. However images you have edited in Photoshop do.
    Go to your Applications folder.
    Right or control click the Adobe Photoshop app then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info panel you'll see:   Size
    What does it say?

  • 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.

  • 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.
