How do i apply a widescreen matt to a rotated clip without the matt rotating too?

Hi,
I'm new to this.... but i have a problem...
Basically some of my footage isn't straight and i rotate it a little but obviously i have the black in the gaps where the image has moved.... but to combat that i want to apply a widescreen matte (which is being applied to the rest of the film anyway)..
BUT when i apply to matte it rotates to the image.... is there anyway to stop this?
Thanks

apply a matte to the layer above.
You can create one in Photoshop,
or download my Letterboxer Plugin (free, and I guess will not work in FCP X. :-(
Or use the one Andy Mees has built. ( http://web.me.com/andymees/Free_and_Easy/main/Entries/2008/1/23_Andy%E2%80%99s_L etterbox_2.html )

  • How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?

    Hello everyone,
    I am facing a problem with bootcamp on my Macbook pro 15" (Mid 2010, running Mos OS 10.6.6).
    I have successfully installed windows 7 via Bootcamp, but I lost the Drivers DVD furnished by Apple.
    I tried to download these using Bootcamp (v3.0.4), but bootcamp won't let me save it, i get this error :
    "the windows support software could not be saved to the selected folder"
    An Apple support article has been made for this problem ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3648 ), but it doesn't solve the problem in my case because I lost the furnished DVD.
    So here I am, struck on this drivers issue...
    So, my question is :

  • In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

    In Mavericks Mail, how do you attach a PDF (single-page or multi-page) without the PDF being embedded in the message?

    I attached a .doc file to the message and it appeared as an icon, so I did not have to convert it. I attached a .jpg image — it appeared as a full image, but when I Command+clicked the image, the view as icon window did not appear on the screen. Likewise, I again checked the Mail Menu Bar, and did see 'View as icon.' Side note: I routinely use Mavericks Mail in Classic Mode, so I decided to try both modes. Same results in both modes. I checked my Mail Preferences, but couldn't find anything there, either. I'll continue to look around, but this has me stumped. Thanks for your assistance.  

  • How do I apply a transition to a group of clips?

    Hi,
    I want to apply a transition to a group of clips. I know how to select a group of clips, but I have not found how to apply the same transition on all of them. Can this be done in FCE?

    let:s say I want to apply the default transition to the group, how do I do it?
    Place the playhead at the start point in the Timeline.
    Select a group of clips that are contiguous.
    Drag them to the Canvas Overlay, Overwrite with Transition.
    Note: Media Handles must be available or you will get a warning message.
    And do I understand wright that I could also do it with a unique transition that I would place it in my >Favorites Bin? How would I do that?
    A Favorite works differently. There's no way to alter the Default transition in FCE. The Default is always a one second dissolve.
    To make a Favorite you can open an existing transition in the Timeline by double clicking it or just open a transition into the Viewer directly from the Browser. Existing is best as you can setup to see any changes in the Canvas.
    It opens in the Viewer with the controls showing.
    Placing the Playhead over the transition in the Timeline will give you immediate feedback of the changes in the Canvas.
    Make any adjustments like timing, angle, color etc.
    Look for a small hand icon at the top right of the Viewer.
    Click and drag this to the Favorites Bin.
    You will now see the new transition available for use with any new values.
    This Favorite can now be used as a transition in the usual way.
    There is no way to add the Favorite to more than one clip at a time.

  • How do I apply a filter to an entire video clip?

    I'm trying to find out how to apply a filter, e.g. Oil Painting, to an entire video clip and not just one frame.
    Been trying to work with keyframes but it wont happen - all I get when applying a filter from the Filter Gallery
    is a filter applied to just one frame (not even a second of the video clip i.e.).
    So, the question is: is it even possible to apply a filter from the gallery to an antire video clip? If so, how?
    Thank you very much!

    Tried it, works like a charm!
    Thank you!

  • How do I apply a transfer mode to a SPECIFIC layer without a mask?

    Hello
      This is fairly easy (I think), but I just never learned to do it.
      Let's say I have a stack of layers in a document. I want to apply a layer with a transfer mode but only apply it to ONE of those layers. I've seen this in files which I have received from others, but I have never done it myself (always faked it). When it's done right, the transfer mode layers look like they are nested inside of a layer.
      Am I making sense at all?
    thanks,
    ---------------S

    Option-click between layers.

  • In A3, How Do I Apply One Of My (many) Custom Metadata Views To The Viewer?

    In A3, it appears that both the Viewer and Browser are limited to just 2 views: Basic and Expanded.
    In A2, I had many custom metadata views that I could easily change via the Metadata-pane (now gone) in Prefs. depending on the type of workflow, customer needs, etc.
    Now, if I'm limited to just 2, I'll have to go in and manually change the composition of A3's 2 views for each workflow. If this is the case, I see it as a big step backwards. This is the type of limitation that iPhoto often has, and flexibility is what I expect from a Pro-App.
    I spent a great deal of time developing custom metadata views for various workflows so that I could align the various displays in Aperture to each workflow. What do I do now?

    Just stumbled over this thread:
    Yes, its the truth. There is no way to quickly change the display of Metadata in Browser or List View.
    You can tell from the form of the Settings - Window (Command - J) that there is no way anymore. You have one Standard View, and one Extended.
    Strange. I did not use it a lot, I always display pictures to customers with no metadata, except when we do a selection on site (and then its standard with only rating).

  • How do I apply multiple gradient feathers to a single image with the Gradient Feather tool only?

    Is there a way to do this WITHOUT the Directional Feather tool? That tool has limited options for transparency. I know Photoshop lets you do this.

    Thanks. That's what I thought I might need to resort to. It's disappointing that multiple effects is not longer an option. However, from reading through the forums, it sounds like things are a lot better since '08 (I must have been on a hiatus from video production during that iteration of the program!)...

  • How come my apply device on this apple forum can't display the 'and' character?

    I'm sure it dose it at some other places, and I'm sure it's something silly I'm doing wrong.
    But when I type the &  (numeric then J) instead of typing AND, it dose them extra bits after I hit 'post message'

  • How do I save my imovie '11 as a DVD format without the pictures fitting the screen incorrectly (they're fine on the actual iMovie)?

    My iMovie '11 plays well and the pictures show entirely on the computer, but when burned to a DVD, the edges of the pictures are cut out, resulting in people being cut out.  How do I reformat this so it scales it correctly for the DVD? Thanks!

    Do you know what the Project Properties are of the iMovie? Is it for example Widescreen (16:9) screen ratio? The way to find out is go into iMovie hold down the Apple key and hit letter j (Project Properties) and at the top it will have a setting for Aspect Ratio,(it will be either 4:3 or 16:9). iDVD may not be set to the same aspect ratio and that may account for what is missing on the left and right sides of the screen.
    In iDVD go under the Project Menu and see what Aspect Ratio is listed Project Info.. option. Also under the Project Menu, you might be able to manually switch to one or the other ratios by choosing Change Project to... And picking whatever is listed there (usually it's the opposite of what the project already is set to).
