Masking using movies

Hiya,
I know it must be possible in FCP so how do you mask a movie with a movie? What I mean is if I have a movie that is purely black & white footage that matches a full colour movie can I use the B&W movie to create an alpha or luminance mask on the fully rendered movie.
Cheers
Dan

hello...
put your colour clip on V3, your B&W clip on V2, and your background on V1... all on top of each other.
then ctrl-click on your colour clip and go to composite mode... select travel matte-luma from the list and that should do you... try experimenting with different composite modes for the heck of it...

  • Masked QuickTime movies not displaying correctly...

    Hi there,
    I'm still a relative novice with Keynote, but am quickly learning that this is a seriously great application! I haven't encountered any real problems so far, except the one I'm about to describe - and I'd really appreciate any help you could give me with it!
    Basically, I've made a masked QuickTime movie in the shape of a circle (as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime+Player/7.0/en/c3qt18.html) and then placed this onto one of my slides in Keynote. In the slide design view everything looks fine; the the movie is visible as a circular poster frame (and even plays as it should using the controls in the QuickTime inspector panel). However, when I go to "play" my slide it displays the movie as a rectangle. Obviously, the masking is somehow getting lost somewhere.
    Is this a bug with Keynote, or am I just missing something?!
    Many thanks in advance.

    the way my presentation is organised requires the movie to move in and out of the slide
    The final effect you want might still be doable, as long as you don't think of the builds as having to take place on the same slide. If I understand what you mean by the movie moving in and out of the slide, you could have the opening still from the movie as an image, masked to the shape you want, move in on one slide, then undetectably transition to the slide with the cutout and movie underneath, then, when the movie is done, transition to a new slide with the final movie image as a still, again masked to the same shape, and have this move out. It would take three slides instead of one, but you should be able to achieve the end result you want.

  • "Could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden"

    I tried removing the quick mask in the channel side bar and also uncheck "edit in quick mask mode" but I still cannot stop the pop up saying "Could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden". I cannot draw any objects or move them. What should I do?

    You are getting an error because you are in  "Quick mask edit mode". There are few ways to exit. You can, for example, use [Q] button or delete layer as well.
    All have been listed on blog.i-evaluation.com, article: “Could not use move tool because the target channel is hidden” – Photoshop Warning
    Hope that helps!
    ps. My first post on adobe forum. Hope I helped someone.

  • How to use .mov files for video in Flash...

    Hello-
    I am trying to use .mov files for my Flash videos. I know it uses .mp4/flv/f4v, but I really need to use .movs. I know this works... but how?
    Suggestions?

    unfortunately running it through Adobe Encoder makes it a much, much larger file and the quality goes out the window. i really need to use .mov.
    any suggestions?

  • Can we use Movement Type other than 653

    Hi all
    we are using movement type 653 for material which are being returned by customer.
    we dont want to create FD ( Free of Chagre)  Sales order against the returned delivery.
    Problem
    The Return Delivery is being showed in VLO6  transaction,(outbound delivery),we dont want the return delivery to get displayed in this transaction.Is their any other transaction we can use inplace of 653,in order to get material in unrestricted stock as well as the delivery should not be get displayed in the transaction.
    I have created the new return delivery type (By copying LR) and at the time of runing the T-code VLO6,I exclude that delivery.
    In this way the delivery is not being shown.
    If there is any other way to slove this issue please let me know.
    Thanks
    Siddharth

    The "Return Delivery" is being showed in VLO6
       transaction, "(outbound delivery)"
    Not sure on this.  When you say you created a return delivery, how it is appearing in outbound delivery list.  For information, standard movement types in SD for returns are 651, 653 & 655 and transfer the blocked stock to unrestricted use with movement types like 453, if you wish to do so.
    But strictly speaking, all returns will have to be addressed in QM and only after their clearance, any returned material should be reused.
    thanks

  • Not sure how to use Movie Maker with my HP TrueVision HD webcam

    I've never used Movie Maker before. When I fire it up and double-click Webcam video in the ribbon I get a splash screen saying "Please Start YouCam"
    I assume it is possible to make a video using the build-in webcam, and to save it to disk.
    I need some help understanding how to do that.
    Thanks.

    Peer One,
    You know, if you hadn't replied, other people who might be inclined to actually help, might see that there were "0" replies, but now someone may actually think I've received helpful advice and skip it.  If that seems harsh, would you mind taking the time to address a couple of meta-issues?
    1. You state that Movie Maker is a Microsoft product. Now, my question was how to make Movie Maker work with the built-in camera on my HP laptop. Movie Maker itself seems to launch just fine, but it appears to be unaware of a piece of HP hardware, hence my post to an HP forum. How do you figure it is helpful to inform me (as if I didn't know) that Movie Maker is made by Microsoft? Does it matter if movie maker is made by Acme Software? My problem is essentially that I can't get Movie Maker to see my HP camera. Are you just attempting to scold me for not realizing Movie Maker is not an HP product? Is the forum ONLY to assist people having difficulty with HP software?
    2. You write "you might want to read up the instructions." Are you just being passive-aggressive or is this comment actually intended as assistance? Now, I fully expect you to double-down at this point. I know that almost all respondents to forums who make these kinds of remarks never apologize and admit they are simply being critical with no attempt to be helpful. Unless you believe that by stating the obvious, it is helpful. (Do you?) While it is of little value to explain this, let me say that the Microsoft instructions for Movie Maker that I was able to find (note: MM itself does not include a help entry on any of its ribbon menus or sub-menus -- and if you are unaware of that, don't you think you should have investigated it prior to taking on the role of scolder-in-chief for this thread?) did not explain how to activate one's built-in camera. I firmly believe such a help topic is covered somewhere, but I simply couldn't find it after considerable searching. I didn't feel it necessary to point that out in my question -- I guess I just assume people are more charitable or willing to help than was the ONE PERSON WHO COMMENTED AND THUS OFFERED HIS "1" UNDER THE "REPLIES" COLUMN.
    3. You ask if my laptop has a built-in camera. You know something? I know my four sentence post was a trifle difficult for some folks to read and understand (OK, now I plead guilty to a charge of passive-agressiveness), but don't you feel the use of the phrase "built-in webcam" (ok, ok, so I misspelled it "build-in" instead of "built-in") should have been a pretty strong clue that my laptop has a webcam?
    Well, I wish there was some way to totally delete your extremely condescending and unhelpful response. But maybe someone who actually can offer some assistance will ignore the "1" and make it a "2" for the number of replies.
    Thanks for your attention.

  • Using .mov and mp4 in Dreamweaver.

    I know that I can use .Fla for movies or animations in Dreamweaver but it has been noted to me that Mac Ipads and others do not recognize Flash.  Is it possible to use .mov or mp4 in dreamweaver and if so how?   My primary interest in using those formats is to set up photo slide shows.  I am currently using the Adobe creative Suite  5.5 master collection.  Any info would be appreciated.

    thanks. i did that and found the files/foders that i mentioned above
    i have 6 configuration folders, i guess the one titled Configuration is the latest
    in it i see
    FileCache.dat but do not see WinFileCache-********.dat
    i did open filecache.dat in notepad and i saw chinese characters
    should i delete that file?

  • Compressing "masked' quicktime movie-mask has ragged edges and white areas

    I have been masking quicktime movies with quicktime pro. I get a good-looking masked quicktime movie. But when I try to export to mp4 or other file types, the mask looks terrbile, the edges are ragged and some previously masked areas are now white. HELP!

    i tried apple 1, 2, and 3 for actual, double, and full size, always a white border in full screen. at actual size the side borders are bigger than the top and bottom, double and full it's a crisp 1 pixel grey line all the way around. i made the mask file 481x641 and 482x642 with no changes at all, all of them cut way inside the edges of the picture to avoid that border.
    strange part is at full size (more than double size for sure with these files) the border is exactly 1 pixel, not scaled up to 2.x pixels like you would expect if it was in the movie, not just the player sucking with masks. guess i'll hope someone notices and fixes in a future release. just like with the h.264 encoding border with masks. i guess the white border all the way around is better than a neon green one on the right side which i get with h.264
    /someone not testing QT with simple rectangular masks it seems
    here's a screenshot of my movie in fullscreen at double size so you can see the whole border:

  • Stock Transfer for Excisable Materials Using Movement Type 301

    Hi,
    We are having a Plant 1002 as excisable Materials.
    During GR we following the process like GR (Part -I), Capture Invoice, Post Invoice.
    Can we transfer the Material from Plant 1002 to other Plant, say 1001, using Movement Type 301?
    Or we need to follow some other router for Stock Transfer for the Excisable Materials?
    I was told by the ex-consultant that we would be using Mov Type 301 for all Stock Transfers, but I have a doubt, please guide.*
    Regards,

    Hi PK,
    Here in Brazil we work with excisable material and when we have to transfer it plant to plant, we have to use IVA that performs tax posts on accounting document. Also, we have to create Nota Fiscal (BrazillianLegal Document).
    I think you have to talk to your legal/accounting area in order to make sure which procedure you will have to use.
    If you need tax posting on accounting document, then you will not be able to use 301 movement type.
    We use MM/SD Plant to Plant transfer (movement type 861 / 862)
    Depending on your Legal/accounting area feed back, you could use this scenario or just MM plant to plant transfer (movement type 303/305).
    If they are ok with no tax postings on accounting document, then 301 movement type should be used.
    Try to make a test, show then how it works, then you could get ok from then
    I hope it helps you.
    Best Regards,
    Natan

    Audio on the timeline, especially stream, tends to play very reliably. Is this project under any NDA or can you provide a FLA to examine? Let me know if you want to private message it and I'll shoot you a message.
    What version of Flash Player are you targeting and is this AS2 or AS3?
