Green Screen in Final Cut?

The link will explain everything

Remove the cross dissolve.
Go to the start of your foreground clip and double click it. This will place it in the Viewer.
Click the Motion tab above the Viewer and go to the Opacity control. Click the triangle to access its controls. Set the value to zero and click the small diamond in the keyframe control.
Advance up the timeline by as many frames as you want the fade to be. Change the opacity value to 100. A new keyframe will be added automatically.
Go towards the end of your clip where you want the fade out to begin and with opacity set to 100 click the diamond again to manually add a keyframe. Go to the very end and change the value to zero.

  • Can I use a blue screen with Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi, I am at a school that uses Macbooks and has just purchased a blue screen (with lighting).  I am new at chromakey / blue screening.  I know that you can use iMovie for green screens, but could somebody please tell me what is a good software to use for a blue screen?  Does Final Cut Pro X work with blue screens?
    If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful!!
    Thanks,
    From Michelle.

    The keyer effect in FCPX works very well with blue screen. Open effects browser and look for Keyer. When you add it to your blue screen clip it will automatically pick up the blue screen and key it out. You also have several controls to fine tune the edges etc.

  • Capturing screen in Final Cut

    Watching any and all tutorial style videos at Apple or of others, shows a full screen view of a Macbook Pro lets say and then they scroll in and out on the screen. I assume they are using the control + scroll wheel to accomplish this? Also, what kind of screen capture device are they using? I'm using iShowU and while its a really cool program, I'm getting really bad results when i try to go full screen.
    The only way I've found to get real clean video is to set my view area to around 720x480. This seems to give pretty clear text but you loose being able to see the whole picture.
    Thanks for any info you can provide.

    Its not really SnapzPro causing the problem but rather the size of the capture area I think. The reason is that no matter what settings I select the Final Cut version is very fuzzy unless I set my original capture size to 720x480. I thought maybe making a larger area but with the same ration would work but at the moment that is all I can get to work. It is nice and clear but distracting because I'm having to move around on the screen to show all of the forms I'm working with.
    I wish there was something on the net describing how to do this but so far I've found nothing.
    Thanks,

  • How do I make a red screen in Final Cut Studio?

    I know this is simple but how do I do it?
    Also... what is going to happen with FINAL CUT X? I hear it is terrible.
    Evan Jacobs

    Effects > Video Generators > Matte > Color then change the color in the Controls tab. Or whip something up in Photoshop.

  • Can i use split screen on Final Cut Express

    Hey everyone again!
    so i am about to write the credits on a movie i am making but was just wondering if i could split the screen so that i would have footage playing on the top half of the screen and the credits running along the bottom half of the screen??? or vise versa!.
    It doesn't matter if i can't have the titles scrolling but as long as i can have titles on one half of the screen!
    many thanks.

    You can use Title Crawl and either make it scrawl along the bottom of the screen if that's what you want or use the roll function to make it move up the screen. There is masking in Title Crawl which will fade it out as it moves up the screen if you want.

  • How to use blue/green screen?!

    HI
    I'm a new user to FCE so i maybe sound like a noob, but how do you use the methods of blue/green screen thing. !?
    thx

    "I understand from Wolsky's book that you really can't deal with HD green screen in Final Cut Express 3.5."
    Really? I said that? There is one particular problem with HD material in FCE in that that AIC color space is 4:2:0. There is no color smoothing filter for this. I believe Graeme Nattress has one for this. There is a color smoothing filter for DV NTSC standard definition, which is 4:1:1. DV PAL has the same problem BTW, as it's also 4:2:0.
    Aside from that the chromakeyer works decently with well shot material. For a really high quality key you should look to third party software.
    There is no difference between 3.5 and 4 in this regard.

  • Getting text to display on screen the Korean Language in Final Cut

    We cannot figure out how to get the Korean language to display on screen in Final Cut Pro. We have the Korean language font and can get it to display in Word and Photoshop, but when we copy Korean text and paste it into Final Cut, it doesn't show up. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks...

    when we copy Korean text and paste it into Final Cut, it doesn't show up.
    You must make sure that the font for the text field in FC is set to a Korean font, and you may need to try different ones. Try AppleGothic first. Others are Gungseouche, HeadlineA, PCmyoungjo, Pilgiche, AppleMyungjo. Also try copy/pasting from TextEdit instead of from an MS or Adobe app.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • Log & Capture Screen not opening and Final Cut Pro just quits! HELP!

    Hi everyone,
    I've been searching through the forums and reading up on similar issues but to no avail my problem still exists and I'm about to put a hammer to my computer. I have a G5 Mac at work and use my G4 for home use. Earlier today I was at work and was capturing my footage perfect using my Canon XH A1 using firewire and everything went well. Later on in the day when working on my G4, using the same settings and equipment from earlier, when I hit apple+8 it shows that the program is understanding my command but after a min without a screen appearing, final cut pro just quits. Now I've tried everything from deleting my preferences, final cut user data, you name it and I've tried yet still not able to get the screen to capture. I've even tried switching the firewire port just in case its a bad connection and still nothing. Can someone help me out so my computer can live to see another day.
    Thank You

    You updated to 10.5?
    What FCP 5 version are you running -5.0 or 5.1?
    You need 5.1 if you have Mac OS X 10.5.
    Also, get rid of the Norton AV -it's a terrible resource hog and interferes with everything.
    I would go as far as to suggest Norton is trying to check the incoming data from your video capture.
    Turn it off at least, and see if there is any improvement.
    If you must use AV to avoid passing something to Windows users, get a free copy of ClamXav. It can be set to check only incoming stuff like Mail and downloads. Has a very small footprint and is only active when it should be. I use ClamXav myself as I often deal with FTP transfers.

  • Final Cut collapse when exporting to FLV

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with exporting video to FLV.
    On V2 there is a video of a man before a green screen that is cut out with the chroma key filter (unrendered). On A3&A4 is audio.
    Then I do this... export->using quicktime conversion->then I select FLV->I go to options->
    - profiles- custom
    - video- codec:on2 VP6,enable 'encode alpha channel',enable 'deinterlace', quality 'high'
    - audio- enable 'mp3'
    then I press OK en then SAVE.
    I see the timebar on 0% and Final Cut Pro collapse!
    What am i doing wrong? is it CS3/CS4 problem?
    Can someone please help me with this big problem?

    Isn't exporting to YouTube? Why? Can't see your computer. What's happening on it?
    Are the keywords in the export tags too long?

  • Color Resolution Presets and Final Cut fullscreen playback of 2.35:1

    I have sent a project from Final Cut Pro to Color. In Color's resolution settings, I have selected the 2k 2.35 setting to achieve a wider image. Once I finish Coloring and rendering and I send the Color project back to Final Cut Pro, the aspect ratio is a perfect 2.35:1 wide image.
    HOWEVER, when I use the Digital Cinema Desktop preview playback function (basically full-screen playback), Final Cut plays my footage back at 2.35:1, but stretched to fit 16:9. This is what it looks like in full-screen: http://gallery.me.com/amirij#100115/Screen-20shot-202009-09-04-20at-203-58-52-20 PM&bgcolor=black
    Why is it doing this and how can I fix it? I assume it's a setting, but can't find it...
    Thanks in advance:
    Johnny Amiri

    1) Color correction, especially when done with separate application from the NLE, should be done AFTER picture lock. There are some measures if there are tweaks after, but they aren't 100%. Always wait to color correct until after you have picture lock. But you can render out of Color, media with handles, so you can do minor tweaks. And if you add new shots, make those into separate projects, send them to Color, grade, and send back.
    2) You need to either read the manual, or look for a tutorial on Color. It goes through all the steps. Send to Color...grade in Color...render...then SEND TO FCP. That'll send a new sequence to FCP.  Not a rendered out QT file...the full sequence.

  • Can I install Final Cut Studio 3.0 after already having FCP X?

    I have already installed FCP X on one of my computers.  I need to install Final Cut Studio 3.0 on the same computer now. 
    When I tried to install, I get the selection screen and Final Cut is ghosted out and unavailable.
    Is there a way around this?  I know FCP X can co-exist with Final Cut Studio 3.0 if it's installed afterward, but I need to know if I can install Final Cut Studio after FCP X which I imagine is a fairly rare situation.
    I'm on Lion -- in case that matters.
    _Matt_

    I'm not positive, but I believe that FCPX installer is aware of FCS. If you intsall FCPX and FCS is already on your computer, the FCPX installer will move FCS into a folder inside Applications. I'm sure FCS installer is not aware of the existance of FCPX.
    I would guess that you would have to uninstall FCPX, install FCS and then, if you wanted, re-install FCPX, using the App Store.
    I have not actually done this, but I'm guessing that having FCPX already on your computer is what's causing issues with the FCS installer.

  • Rendering in Final Cut Express

    I've been trying to render title screens on Final Cut Express (overlaped over visuals), but I'm told that there is not enough disk space and that I have to free up more disk space. All my footage is on an external LaCie drive, and I have plenty of free space, so that shouldn't be an issue. Has anyone encountered this problem before?

    What's the size of your system HD and how much free space do you have on it? Ditto for your Lacie drive.
    Are you connecting your Lacie drive via FireWire or USB? (USB is insufficient for video work)
    Check your FCE system preferences - what HD are you using for your Render files?

  • How to let Final Cut "ignore" other monitor and have preview on the largest

    How to let Final Cut "ignore" the other monitor" and have preview on the largest monitor?
    I have a setup with a MB Pro and an external Eizo 27" calibrated screen.
    Now I am using the 27" as the main screen with Final Cut with its panes and windows on it and the MBPro as preview (Command F12). I would like to see the preview on the large 27" when I hit Command F12 and not on the laptop sometimes. Any way to do this?
    When I do the "mirror" screen setup the resolution drops down on the Eizo 27" so that does not seem to be a good option.
    Any solutions?

    Try:
    View>Video Playback>Digital Cinema Desktop-Main
