How to brightenin up skin colour in Final cut?

Hi Everyone I have a small Problem with this video I'm trying to edit. The background and everything is pretty well lit, however the people in the video are looking very dark. I was wondering if there is a way I could "pick" those skin colours and brighten them up a touch?
Thanks in advance!

Dude - looks good - you just need to adjust your mask. Sample and adjust it a bit more. It's flickering because your key is too limiting. There's a little key image in the visual control of the 3 way. It's a 3 way toggle - shows the results, the matte, and the original. Click to see the matte, then adjust your hue/sat/brightness ranges broader so you don't get the flickering.
And while we're plugging plugins, my Vibrance+ plugin brightens up skintones in "enhance mode". Check it out at Sheffield Softworks. It's in the Look Sweet plugin package and there's a free demo.
But honestly, I think you can get what you need with the 3 way. Make the 3 way your friend and there's not much you can't conquer.

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?

    Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event"  > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

  • How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro onto my desktop?

    How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro to my desktop as a movie?

    Can anyone please help me.. when I click on my timeline in my project library and try to export movie nothing happens! and when I  try to "share" to youtube I get an error message stating that it cannot be exported because it contains "no video"... The 4 minute music video that I've created with shots off my Canon T2i looks and plays great....If I uploaded the videos into Final Cut but did not save them on my desktop or anywhere else on the Mac would this be a reason to get this message? I have never experienced this before...the only option under "share" that works is "email"

  • How do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

    how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

    Question: how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?
    Answer: It depends on what is causing the flickering.  It could be due to the pixel dimensions being too large for the Sequence settings in FCP.  It could be due to thin horizontal lines in the image.  It could be due to areas of the image in high contrast with each other.   Or it could be due to a combination of several factors.
    If the image is too large, reduce the pixel dimensions to a more reasonable size.
    If it's due to thin horizontal lines, deinterlace the image, or slightly blur the lines in Photoshop.
    If it's due to areas of high contrrast, reduce the contrast of those areas in Photoshop.
    In FCP you can also try applying the Flicker filter to the image in the Timeline and/or a Gaussian blur filter with a setting of around 0.2 or 0.3

  • How to get the Vimeo encoding in Final Cut Studio / Final Cut Pro (for web)

    I have some films I would like to "display" on the web. It seems that vimeo.com has a great way of encoding films for the web.
    http://www.vimeo.com/
    Anyone who knows how to do the same encoding within Final Cut? Or are there other ways for web which will work also for windows user (to watch the video without downloading extra plugins?
    I love how the videos starts almost instantly in hd on Vimeo! Al right it skips a bit, but then again it is hd on the web.....

    This is sort of a workaround for what you're trying to achieve:
    Here's a Ken Stone article on encoding for Vimeo.
    So...what a lot of folks are doing these days, is uploading to Vimeo (or similar service). Then back on your own website simply "embed" the Vimeo movie. You can control the size & control colors of the embed. When you're on the Vimeo page for a particular video, you'll see the "Embed" link on the right of the video. Click that and it will expose the code you need to copy into your own website.

  • How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

    How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

    Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
    Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.

  • Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

    Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

    You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
    Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

    Thanks for any help!

    .TOD is JVCs version of an MPEG 2 file.

  • How do I get a receipt for final cut x

    How do I get a receipt for final cut x?  I paid for it to use at work and I cant claim the cost back unless I have a receipt.  Apple cant claim it is an app for personal use when they are pitching this software for professional editing

    Did you make the purchase? They should have sent you an email when you purchased it to confirm the transaction or something. That should include some sort of receipt.
    It is for personal use because not only businesses use it, individuals use it too for independent YouTube channels, etc.
