Motion + Video Filter order

I have two things going within one edited shot.
1) I zoom into a still photo via Motion.
2) I use the widescreen Matte video filter.
The problem is that it seems like Motion overrides the matte video filter, so that when
I zoom into the photo, the photo expands but so does the Matte filter, which I don't want.
I want the matte filter to stay put over the moving image
Any tip?
Thank you,

Remove the Widescreen Matte filter from the clip, leaving only the motion effect.
Once this is done, click on the clip on the timeline to select it.
Go to the menu Sequence > Nest Item(s), or type Option + C to nest the clip.
When the Nest box appears, click OK to create the nest.
Now the clip on the timeline has been converted to a self contained nest, so apply the Widescreen Matte to it.
You should see the Widescreen masking the motion.
If you want to make changes to the motion once the clip has been nested, double click on the nest and the original contents will appear. Make you changes and these changes will be reflected when you return to the sequence containing the nest.

  • Why is the Video Filter "Shift Fields" Automatically being added to my clips?

    In the timeline, I've been noticing that FCP is randomly adding the "Shift Field" video filter to about 75% of all my clips in the timeline.
    Is this common?

    I don't think in my case FCP has ever wrongly applied the filter when I just was editing from the Viewer to the Canvas. Only when copying footage from sequence to sequence, I discoverd problems.
    By the way. You can select all the 'faulty' clips and choose Conform to Sequence from the menu, and al should be right...

    Good points, all. Thanks for your contribution, Rienk.
    "Conform to Sequence" is a function I have never used, did not know it even existed, thanks for that, too.

  • Tiling, "Replicate" Video Filter, "Scale"

    Is there a plug-in available to do tiling that looks decent? In using the "Replicate" Video Filter (Effects -> Video Filters -> Stylize -> Replicate) or the "Scale" control on the Motion tab to make something smaller, the result is very low resolution, i.e. not nice and crisp the way PhotoShop makes a video frame (or a photo file) when you scale it down. Since tiling involves scaling down, there must be a way to tile such that the images are nice and crisp. Does anyone know of a plug-in that can do this? I supposed I could import all of my footage, frame by frame, into PhotoShop and use the latter, then reconstruct the video from the resulting images, but how tedious!
    Thank you.

    For a fair comparison, I have produced some more files:
    Original frame, exported from FCE as a QuickTime movie:
    http://eidschun.fastmail.fm/Original-Exportedfrom_FCE_asQT.mov .
    Original frame, tiled using the "Replicate" Filter in FCE, then exported from FCE as a QuickTime movie:
    http://eidschun.fastmail.fm/Original-Tiledin_FCE-Exported_from_FCE_asQT.mov .
    Original frame, exported from FCE as a PhotoShop file, then tiled in PhotoShop, then saved as a jpeg file by PhotoShop, then opened in QuickTime and exported by QuickTime as a DV file, then imported into Final Cut Express, then exported from FCE as a QuickTime movie:
    http://eidschun.fastmail.fm/Original-Exportedfrom_FCE_as_PhotoShop-Tiled_by_PhotoShop-Saved_as_JPEG_by_PhotoShop-Exported_as_ DV_from_QT-Imported_into_FCE-Exported_from_FCE_asQT.mov .
    As you can see, the QuickTime movie produced using PhotoShop looks much better, i.e. PhotoShop does a much better job of tiling than FCP; in fact, tiling in FCP gives a terrible result.
    By the way, I also get the same result when scaling (on the "Motion" Tab) in FCE, i.e. the result is terrible compared with the result in using PhotoShop to produce the DV file.

  • Video Filter does not work.

    Hello.
    I have been using Final Cut Pro 4 for a while and it worked fine before. But recently, any function of Video Filter does not work. I apply them to the clip, but the image does not show any changes on Canvas.
    Is the software's problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ying

    For a reason unknown to me, FCP's preference files (there's 3 of them) will sometimes become corrupted and need to be trashed. Usually the symptoms are things just not working as they did earlier, or weird issues like the 3 Way Color Corrector looks different than before ... stuff like that.
    FCP Rescue is a freeware app (yes, you'll need to download it) that will create a backup set of preferences, thereby retaining all of your settings. Then when (not IF, but when) FCP's preferences become corrupted, you can run FCP Rescue to replace the bad set with a fresh new set.
    Otherwise you can delete the files yourself (make sure FCP isn't open at the time) and the next time you launch FCP, it will revert back to the factory settings.

  • I'm trying to download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no more room and that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download more movies. How do I delete the videos in order to order more?

    I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

    They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.

  • Get still image, but no motion video via firewire. Help!

    This is really kicking me in the behind. I'm trying to do a print to tape, but before I get to that stage I have this problem where I can see my timeline video play fine in the canvas and I can see the still frame that I'm sitting on on the NTSC monitor, but that's all. If I try and play the video all I see on the NTSC is the still of the last frame. That is, until I stop the playback & then I see the frame I'm now on. So I have the data flowing from FCP 4.5 to my Sony DSR-20 and then to my monitor, just no motion video! I've gone over Shane's list of quick answers & I can't find anything wrong. What am I missing? I'm running 10.3.9 and QT 7 (not 7 pro).

    Well guys, thanks for the suggestions but I am in all
    frames, I have image selected as well as RGB. Any
    other thoughts?
    Forgive me for what may be a silly question: are you sure there is no codec incompatibility between your sequence and your device?
    I ask because the only time I've gotten this issue is when I was working with 8-Bit Uncompressed (aka BetaSP footage) but still had my external monitoring pointing to my DV Deck. Just as in your case, I wouldn't get motion, but whenever I paused, I'd get that frame (externally).
    Of course, you could have stumbled upon a whole new can of worms.

  • Slow-motion videos do not play as edited (fps) on Mac

    Hi all,
    I just received my iPhone 6 yesterday, and have been playing with the slow-motion video feature. I moved a few over to my computer using Image Capture, and they played fine in their slow-motion, 240 fps. However, the problem is that it doesn't play the video as it was edited on my iPhone (parts of it sped up, and parts of it slowed down). It plays the whole video in slow-motion, which can be a little annoying watching an entire video.
    Thanks, all, for any help!
    P.S. I'm using OS X version 10.9.4

    In Firefox, click Tools>Add-ons. Make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled and "Always activated".
    If that fails, see: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X  in the Adobe Forums. That will clear out the pluigins and allow a fresh install with the new plugin.

  • Full-motion Video

    OK, I have cerated a number of chapters in an onlien tutorial
    and they are all working fine. But now I am creating one chapter
    that will need to utilize a long (20-30 secs.) of full-motion
    video. When I do the capture, and switch over to full-motion (F9),
    it appears everything is fine. I switch back (F10) and then end my
    recording.
    The first issue is that Captivate breaks up the full-motion
    section into several segments, resulting in a visible glitch
    between them when playing back. (I am also finding that the program
    crashes frequently when working with full-motion, so I am saving
    and restarting frequently.)
    But the real problem comes in playback over the web. There
    seems to be a problem in the file picking up the swf video at the
    right moment and I am sometimes seeing nothing but a black screen.
    If I play the file a few times, then it seems to load and play back
    OK, but is there anything I can do to ensure a consistent playback?
    Thanks!
    bobby

    Hi Ray,
    You are experiencing "normal behavior" for the use you are
    putting Captivate to. It was never designed as a full motion video
    capture tool. I won't argue whether or not the marketing people
    ever said it was capable of doing what you say you bought it to do,
    but I really doubt they would make a claim that everyone knows is
    not true ... if you can find something official from Adobe
    asserting that, I'd sure be interested in seeing it.
    The full motion feature was intended to be used to
    demonstrate 2-3 second drag-and-drop operations, or use of a
    scroll bar action of about that duration. In addition, you stated
    you are capturing at 1024x768 size, which is an image of truly
    gigantic proportions - adding to the full motion load you are
    already throwing at the product. Could it be that another product
    is better suited for what you want to do? I'd consider that
    seriously because you are asking more of Captivate than I believe
    it can deliver on anything but a machine designed for 2015
    processor speeds with infinite resources.
    It is especially sad that you own and used Captivate 1.0.1,
    then spent an additional 30 days using the Trial version of
    Captivate 2.0 ... but are just now finding it doesn't do what you
    thought it should do. Again, sorry for your trouble.

  • Slow motion video from computer (backup) back to device?

    I keep getting idiotic bugs on my iPhone 6, and have been through all the iOS versions. So I have to keep doing resets with iTunes (deletes everything).
    I have quite a few slow motion videos on my phone. I back them up before the reset by simply copying everything in the DCIM subfolder to my computer. Question is....how to get the videos back on the phone after a reset, and register as slow motion? It seems impossible. Syncing a folder back with iTunes does not do this. Copying files back onto the camera roll folder is impossible. All I can ever do is get videos back but play in full speed. Thus rendering all slow motion captured useless.
    Have Apple completely messed this up?

    You have to email it to yourself to preserve the slow-motion effect.

  • Capturing Motion Video and a SNAP with one CWIMAQ Device

    Hello,
    I am using Measurement Studio 6.0 controls and I am trying to accomplish a Continous Acquisition and a periodic interval SNAP Capture with only one CWIMAQ control.
    I have A CWIMAQ control attached to a 1 CWIMAQViewer this starts to acquire when I say go. Then every X interval I want to have a Still image from that CWIMAQ appear in a 2nd CWIMAQViewer control. This is Proving difficult at the moment. So far I have been able to stop the CWIMAQViewer1 update to allow my CWIMAQ control free so that I can alter it to do just a single frame SNAP. Then I attach that to the CWIMAQViewer2. But as soon as I start up the CWIMAQ control again now both my Second and First CWIMAQViewers are attached to the CWIMAQ video source. Ofcourse I want to just keep the still image in the 2nd Viewer while the 1st viewer show full motion.
    I also tried a second CWIMAQ control which is attached to same device as the 1st control. This doesn't work, as it automatically stops the first CWIMAQ when I do anything with the Second.
    Hope this is clear. All I want to do is start collecting motion video, then everyonce and a while get a snap shot into a different viewer so that things can be done to it, all awhile the full video should still be collecting.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did try that.
    I may be doing it just wrong though.
    Using the existing Ring example which defaults to create 5 buffers I put a small condition statement in the AcquiredImage function. So if it is not time to take a snapshot let the buffer attach to CQIMAQViewer1 just like the Sample code does already. If IT IS time to stop then attach CWIMAQ.Images(5) (Shot from Buffer 5) to the CWIMAQViewer2. It does this fine, except that even if it isn't time to Stop again the 5 Image in the buffer automatically gets attached to CWIMAQViewer2 because of it once executing the CWIMAQViewer2.Attach ... Method.
    But I don't want it to automatically attach to that buffer until I tell it to. But I also don't want to want CWIMAQViewer2.Detach because that will make my Still image Viewer go blank.
    Did I do what you described incorrectly?
    Also. With the CWIMAQVision Control why will it not handle an image that is from a video source. Atleast it seems to not. If I were able to use the CWIMAQVision.WriteImage function using a CWIMAQViewer1.Image from a camera as my source then I would be able to to create a still frame and put that into a Viewer2. But I get nailed with an Incompatible Image Type when I try that. It works fine with a Loaded .jpg, like the CWIMAQVision.ReadImage command, then link that to a Viewer Control. Then I could CWIMAQVision.writeImage and a get a stored shot.
    Some CWIMAQVision methods are OK with fast changes images and other not. IE. I can pass a CWIMAQViewer.Image as the source for a CWIMAQVision.Histogram2 function and get a histogram of the Light and Darks that updates with each CWIMAQ.AcquiredImage, but I can pass the same CWIMAQViewer.image as the source image for the CWIMAQVision.Threshold method to find display the 2 colour Light/Dark Intensity version of the Image. It tells me that the Image is incompatible. But I can do it with a still image .jpg which is loaded using the CWIMAQVision.ReadImage method.
    What I want to do is capture Video. Then have the CWRangeSelect control show the Array data of the Contrasts, and have the Second Viewer show the Red on Black version of the Data from the Array. THen I can use that contrast ratio to calculate how much of the scene is what I am looking.
    There will no doubt be more to this.
    Thanks

  • Video Filter missing: AE.keylight 906?

    Hi,
    I am a complete noob when it comes to editing video in Adobe. I've been looking for a solution to my problem in other places, but my attempts were futile.
    Here's what I did:
    I edited a video clip in Adobe After Effects, dealt with the green screen using Keylight, then exported my work as an Adobe Premiere Pro Project. Once that was done, I tried opening the project in Premiere and a window popped up saying "Video Filter missing: AE.keylight 906." I clicked OK and found that Premiere does not show my edited green screen. It merely shows the original - I think I'm right in saying that is because the video filter is missing, as the message stated. How do I fix this? Help please!
    Thank you for your time.

    My guess for the choppiness would be that you used the default uncompressed render settings from After Effects; this likely made a very large file that, unless you have a really stout and fast hard drive setup (e.g. RAID), you will not get real time playback. Uncompressed is good in that, well, it's uncompressed and therefore doesn't add any further image degradation, but it can make for a lousy editing experience, as you've found.
    Depending on what your source footage is (you didn't mention this originally), and what your intended destination/delivery format is, you might be able to use different render/export settings from After Effects for a more playable file in Premiere. Later, you could rerender the composition to the uncompressed version and replace the original; this will give you better performance for further editing in Premiere, and then later will give you higher quality output. This is often referred to as proxy editing, and there are a couple of ways you can go about this, if it's something you want to attempt.
    Regarding the loss of edits when moving from Premiere: there shouldn't be any loss of edit points, necessarily, but what you might be thinking of is the loss of transitions. Since Premiere Pro works with tracks and After Effects works with layers, the two programs have different methods of representing and creating transitions (e.g. dissolves). In Premiere, you can put two clips next to each other in the sequence on a single track, and add a dissolve between them; however, in After Effects, a layer can only contain one footage item, so to create a transition between two layers, they must overlap. There are analogs for certain transitions--a dissolve, for example, is just a change in opacity of one layer that is over another--but other more "fancy" transitions must be recreated more manually. In short, you shouldn't have to worry about the timing of your edit in Premiere changing when moving to After Effects, whether you use Dynamic Link or whether you simply copy and paste from Premiere into AE.
    Hope that helps a bit more. And Mr. Brougham is my dad's name

  • Are bursts and slow motion videos transfered as they are to a PC

    I wasn't sure how to ask this question in short. I have an iPhone 5s and a Windows computer. When I take a burst photo, how does it work when I transfer the photos/videos directly to my computer? (not going through iTunes) Do the bursts save as individual pictures or are they lost? or maybe you can only see them on your iPhone? Also with slow motion videos, I know they don't save as slow motion unless you save them again as if that was real life capture. I do believe that they become slow motion again if i put them back on my phone, as the format is probably the same. Is this true?

    Premiere Pro just doesn't do slow motion very well, especially not with 24 fps footage.  You can help correct that:

  • Can someone explain the FCE "Levels" Video Filter to me?

    Hi,
    I need help with the FCE "Levels" Video Filter - I cannot find any documentation anywhere which explains precisely what this filter does and how to use it properly (Googling 'levels "input tolerance" "final cut express"' yields no results!!).
    There are five sliders (Input, Input Tolerance, Gamma, Output and Output Tolerance) but playing with them, it's not obvious what they do or how they compare with the Photoshop "Levels" filter for still images.
    In particular, I would like to map settings on a Photoshop "Levels" filter to settings on an FCE "Levels" Filter to achieve the exact same results in terms of adjusting the underlying images.
    If this can't be done exactly, does anyone know of an FCE Filter which replicates the Photoshop Levels Filter.
    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    It's not a very useful filter, and is not directly comparable to the Photoshop Levels filter. There is no histogram, which I consider essential.
    Input & Input Tolerance lighten the image (they work together)
    Gamma adjusts midtones
    Output & Output Tolerance darken the image (they work together)
    Problem is, you have to drop the sliders off their default settings to get them to work at all. Start by dropping the Input and/or Output sliders to 20. Then adjust the companion Tolerance sliders down to see the effect.
    I think you'll have more luck with the Color Corrector filter, which has sliders for Whites, Mids, Blacks & Saturation. Among other things, you will find the numeric levels sliders more comparable to the PS Levels controls.
