"News" screen composite question...

Hi!
Just got FCE. I want to make a NEWS screen (Little box with video composited on colored background) with a person standing in front of a colored background. I have a greenscreen, and I am slowly learning how to do that.
As for the 2 other components....
1. How do I get a colored background (can I use Live type's textures?)How do I put it in the project?
2. How do I get a small video box layered on the screen (with video or pic) to display the "news feature" part?
I would appreciate any help--the tutorial for this does not explain these kind of things. I am VERY new at this---and don't go to school for this--so I have no one to ask.
Ellen

You have a lot of learning to to.
Try this to start with the image sizing question

As for the textured background, you can create that in LT, and then put it inside FCE on the layer underneath the green screen shot.

  • QuickTime Player: New Screen Recording question

    When creating a New Screen Recording, it is possible to only record the audio coming from the speakers and NOT record the audio in the room where the macbook is sitting?

    Soundflower allows you to route system audio into an application.
    Install Soundflower-- http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/ (instructions for use) and http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/list (application)-- to add system audio (core audio) inputs to the line-in and microphone options already present in QuickTime Player (i.e., QuickTime 10).   Once it's installed,
    1. System Preferences > Sound > Output.  Select Soundflower (2ch).
    2. Open QT and begin a New Screen Recording.  In the Screen Recording window, click the dialogue triangle on the right.  Under Microphone, select Soundflower (2ch).
    3. Begin your screen recording.
    Note, however, that you won't be able to hear system audio while using Soundflower as a QT input--the audio that was going to your speakers is now going into QT instead.  When you finish your recording, go back to System Preferences > Sound > Output to route the audio back to Internal Speakers or your usual default audio output.

  • Green screen composite question

    Hello all,
    I need to be able to put my own video on the "green screen" that this couple is watching on TV:
    http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=11473468
    I'm a complete novice at this but I'm assuming the TV, my video, and the people watching have to be on separate layers?
    (so that my video does not appear "in front' of the people's heads)
    Can I do this with Final Cut Express or is there some other software app I can use?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    You video should be scaled and place on the bottom (V1).
    The stockfootage clip should be above it on V2,
    with the chromakey filter applied to it.
    When your adjusting the key, check at the very beginning
    of the clip when the woman's shadow is on the green screen.
    Make sure you the green color selection includes those darker shades of green.
    If you shoot the video to use in the TV by playing the footage through
    a real monitor, it will probably look a bit more realistic,
    since you can play with a little reflection off the glass,
    and you could even block the reflection when the woman walks by.
    Details make composites work.

  • Need your instruction of replacing a new screen for Satellite U925T

    I wanna replace a new screen for my laptop b/c it doesn't work anymore, but i don't know how to take out its covers. Can you guys please send me a instructing video of replacing a new screen or at least a the instruction in detail?
    You can send it directly to my email: [email protected]
    Thank you

    Notebook disassembling procedure is described in maintenance manuals but this document is not a public document so you will be very lucky if anyone here can help you with this.
    What you need is step-by-step description how to do this. As you probably know small mistake can be responsible for hardware damage or damage on small plastic parts that have a lot of small plastic holders.
    Maybe stupid question now but why do you want to do this alone? What is with the warranty?

  • Calling new screen (through variant)

    Hello Gurus,
      I have a small question.
    We have following scenario to implement:
    In Shopping Cart we want new source of supply screen. On click of Source of Supply screen this new screen should be displyed.
      Can anyone tell efficient way to do this without standard code modification?
    Can we use screen variant to replace the subscreen with new subscreen?
    Thanks,
    Girish

    you can do it by catching the function code of that button and call the screen when user press button by
    CALL SCREEN scr.
    Addition:
    ... STARTING AT x1 y1 ... ENDING AT x2 y2
    scr is screen no.
    or if you want to do it in report
    just code it in at user-command .
    and try to use
    show your data by increasing sy-lsind.

  • HT201066 Why does "New Screen Recording" record in Photo-JPEG codec?

    Something's changed on me... Now when I use QuickTime to record (using "New Screen Recording"), it records the portion of the screen I've selected same as always but the resulting file is way fat.
    Get Info says its recorded as: codec Photo-JPEG.
    It used to record in H.264 but now it's a bloated file and this screwy wrong format.
    Why?
    How do I change it back to record screen as a H.264 file?
    I see only options for Quality: Medium or High. (I choose Medium.)
    I'm using latest Lion and QT.
    Any ideas...? Thanks

    Further research answered my question. Found my answer posted by QuickTimeKirk on a related topic:
    "There are two options for quality in the screen recording set up (Medium and High). Medium uses Photo-JPEG codec and High uses H.264. Medium quality actually makes much higher file sizes."
    My thanks to QuickTimeKirk. Since I haven't seen any of this extremely helpful info posted here or in a Google web search, I must assume I'm the only idiot on the block. However, let's get the word out.

  • Regarding a refurbished ipod Touch: Do they come with a new screen and/or battery?

    I am deciding if I should (to save money) order a refurbished 4th gen. ipod touch. I previously had a refurbished 2nd gen. touch and had no problems with it.
    If anyone can answer these 2 questions, I'd appreciate it...
    1. I know a refurbished ipod comes with a new outer shell...does that include a new screen or do I take a chance at getting a scratched up screen?
    2. Do they put a new battery in the refurbished ipods, or do I get a partially used battery causing me to have to replace it sooner?
    Both of these will come into play as I make my decision to buy one at the refurbed price or full price.
    Thanks!

    It depends on who you buy it from. If you buy it at a store you can usually ask to use it or which ios it has. If you get one that has iOS 6 you can update to iOS 7 anytime. If you get iOS 7 you cannot downgrade. So in the end, it depends on who you buy it from and if the store/company can tell you.

  • Grey screen with question mark on boot up.

    My son's 2011-12 Macbook Pro displays a grey screen with a question mark and will not boot.  I pulled  that first drive, put that first drive in a USB cage and connected the USB cage  through a USB port and could boot a different machine with the first drive.  I put a brand new second drive with a formatted and journaled OSX drive in place of the original first drive in my son's macbook pro machine tand got the same grey screen and question mark.  Do I need a new electronics board?  If so that is a $500 repair and not worth it on a 3 year old machine.  Thoughts?

    It could be anything at this point - most likely, it seems, is that you've a faulty SATA cable. If you go to www.ifixit.com you can find the Apple part number for the cable (or buy the cable at ifixit, even) and search eBay for the part number (much less expensive on eBay and I've yet to hear of one from eBay having failed).
    I'm betting that's the problem.

  • I just got  new screen put on my 13in macbook pro when i opend it up there is no data on it? how do i get my data back

    I just got to school after getting a new screen put on my 13in macbook pro. when i opend up my macbook there was only a apple simble and the loading sing with a bar at the botton it took fovere to load, one it loaded and opend up there was a few options to pic from saying i could get all my datata back, i got confused and called the tec support where they wanted me to spend 90$ to back up my data, i feel as if they fixed my screen my data should be there when i go on it. I am a broke colage studend and need to get my work done. To sum it all up How do i get all my data back that happend to get lost while my screen was being repaird at the apple store?

    Apple has a 90 warranty warranty on all of their repairs.  You should take your computer back to the repair shop.  Or call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775.  Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department.  Tell them your issue.

  • TS1398 I recently got a new screen for my iPhone 4s and now no wifi networks are showing up when I turn the wifi on.

    I tried resetting my networks and turning my phone on and off with the wifi turned on, but neither of it worked. I don't know what to do and I really need wifi on my phone for tomorrow.

    Did Apple install the new screen?  Or an Authorized Apple Service Provider?  If so, you should return to the location that replaced your screen to see if they didn't hook something up properly.
    If it wasn't an Authorized Apple Service Provider, or an Apple Retail store, You should take it back to them and discuss it with them.  In this case, Apple will likely not offer any replacement service as it was opened by an unauthorized third party.

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's
    QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5882
    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

  • My ipod touch 5 is frozen on the lockscreen and i cant do anything except restart it and that doesnt hekp. will getting a new screen help? or is there another, less exspensive way? also, it is not connected to wifi.

    I need to fix my ipod and i don't know how, i am hoping that if i leave it alone over night that it will fix itself,
    its on the lock screen and i cant do anything with the screen, i tried restarting it and it didnt work, so because i restarted it, it is not connected to wifi.
    please help.
    will getting a new screen help? or is there an easier, less expensive way?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
