How Do you Rotoscope In Final Cut Pro?

I was wondering how to Rotoscope in FCP?
Could someone send me a link with detailed instructions or can someone explain to me how to do it?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Sam

It's a painstaking process of finite and infinite amounts of work keyframing frame by frame with a garbage matte filter if you don't have other tools. Really don't do your effect doing rotoscoping with FCP, unless it can be very rough and still work for your project.
There are much better programs to do this with out there. Shake for starters. There's tracking controls coming in Motion 3 that will help here maybe... But rotoscoping isn't something you take lightly. It's really a pain to do. But has aspects of knitting I suppose... LOL...
Try using other techniques. Green screen is a ton easer on the editor if it's shot right. Couse this doesn't work for everyting I suppose. What are you trying to do?

  • How do you remove a final cut pro 7 license and re-enter it ?

    I tried removing the FCP7 license to be able to re-enter it by removing the final cut file in this folder:
    Library >Application Support> ProApps >Final Cut Studio System ID
    but it didn't seem to work, is there a step I'm missing?
    thanks in advance!

    Trash you preferences and delete that file again. If it fails I would move all files out of the proapps folder to desktop, then boot FCP, authorise and re-drag in any files that are missing.
    Also make sure to not have any ProApps (Logic FCP etc) running while you do this.

  • How do you watch a Final cut pro movie on TV

    Hi i'm new to FCP I have just put together a holiday movie using my Mac book pro and FCP ver. 10.1.3 using both stills and movie clips i'm struggling with the following can anyone help
    I'm trying to save the movie on my portable Toshiba hard drive without any luck as i need to free up some space on my laptop as I have the movies i'd like to make I can then use the PHD with my desk top mac to hopefully watch the movie through my apple TV?
    Is it possible to put the movie that i've put together in FCP onto a SDHC card and watch the movie from the card on my TV ?
    Do I need to get any other software if so is it free ?
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated as I seem to be going round in circles!
    Thanks in advance Colin

    From a quick search online it appears that you need to adhere strictly to some type of AVCHD structure on the SD card in order for the TV to play it. I don't have a similar device, so obviously I can't try it, but it doesn't seem like you can easily drag a few videos to your card and expect the TV to play it :-(
    Hopefully the support at Panasonic can give you a clear answer.
    I suppose that you need to export for "Apple Devices", and add the movie to your iTunes library, in order for it to be accessible through the Apple TV (again, this is from my general understanding of such things, I don't have an Apple TV either):

  • How do you delete a Final Cut Pro X project?

    I really want to get some memory back on my computer. I erased the file of the project off my computer and even erased my trash but it saill says that it has the same amount of storage. I restarted my computer but it still didnt work. Please help!

    Either, select your project, go to File, delete project render files…
    Or, to get rid of the whole project, move project to trash…
    Then empty the trash.
    Do the same with your Events…
    Otherwise, run Omni Disk Sweeper (free) to find and delete large unused files…

  • How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

    How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

    I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
    Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
    BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

  • How i do Export project final cut pro to edius

    how i do Export project final cut pro to edius

    The other option is to get Xto7, which may be much easier than Resolve and faster.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xto7-for-final-cut-pro/id487899517?mt=12
    But I don't know if Edius reads XML files.
    If you need EDL files, DaVinci Resolve LITE (free) is the way to go.

    I can't seem to find a way to do this.

    I am having issues with this, too.  I currently have both the trial version and the purchased version, and I've done a lot of work in the trial that I MUST get access to, but it's not showing up in the paid version (contrary to what is stated above... that it shows up in the paid automatically).  I am worried that if I delete the trial all my days of work will be trashed.  It is critical that these files transfer...is it truly as simple as deleting the trial?  Why was that not said anywhere in the loading directions? Feeling truly frustrated!
    What version is the trial? Is that a 10.0.*?
    What version is the purchased version?

  • How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4  to 10.0.7

    I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

         You might do some web searching on "FCPx  torrent ".  I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

  • How to install plugins into final cut pro 7

    A friend of mine sent me some free plugins for Final Cut Pro 7. How do I get the plugins into Final Cut Pro 7? Clicking and dragging obviously doesn't work.

    You do NOT need Motion in order to use those transitions, effects, etc.!
    You only need it if you want to edit or create new such things.

  • How to use HDCAM with Final Cut Pro ?!?

    Hi How is it possible to digtise/setup for working with HDCAM in Final Cut Pro 6? I have tried going firewire but there isn't a codec available. I have looked up this and its because Sony are owners so don't want to share...blah blah. Another option I want to try is that at work I have an AJA Bridge is it?? Is it possible to use that along with my own setup in order to get the footage into my laptop. Any advice would be great. I would prefer to use this format for my project if possible...thanks
    Rich

    Hi Rich,
    Welcome to HD!
    HDCAM is not 'native' so you'll need a third party interface to convert the video signal. Check out p.398 in the manual.
    We use the BlackMagic card. But there are a number of cards and boxes out there that can get the job done....and yes, you do want to stay in the HDCAM format.
    Another way we do it, is to transfer the HDCAM shoot tapes to miniDV (correlating timecode and tape numbers of course) and then digitize the miniDV stuff in natively...much quicker and easier to work with while you're editing. Then ONLINE the cut using the BlackMagic card redigitizing in your Master HDCAM footage. This might help you get started sooner while you're ordering your card.
    Cheers,
    Susan.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.
