Removing an unwanted object-HELP!
Hello,
I'm editing a project in FCP, and I've noticed that a boom mic has hovered into one of my shots. I have a clean freeze frame that I'd like to use to edit out the microphone.
What's the simplest way to get rid of it?
Should I use a matte, or mask? If so, which one?
So far I have tried using a four point garbage matte, with the freeze frame underneath it and the filter set to "inverted." But that wasn't any help. Of course, I could be using the wrong matte (that was the one suggested to me).
I have Final Cut Pro (including Motion 4) and Adobe Photoshop at my disposal. Unfortunately, I can't download any plug-ins (shared computer).
Any possible solutions are welcome, but those using only FC Studio are ideal. My experience with photoshop is extremely limited.
Thank you!!
Hi -
The easiest way to do this is place the scene with the boom mike in it on V1. Then edit the freeze frame without the boom on V2, directly above the scene on V1.
If your timeline does not have a V2 track, control-click on the space above V1 and select Add Track.
As soon as you place the freeze on V2, you will no longer see the moving image on V1. This is OK, we will fix that now.
Double click on the freeze clip on V2, so that it loads to the viewer, and in the viewer, click on the Motion Tab.
Open the Crop pane by clicking on the little triangle next to the word Crop, and move the paddle for the Bottom until it reveals the moving scene beneath it while still masking the boom. You may want to adjust the Edge Feather paddle to smooth out the transition between your in motion shot and your freeze.
Depending on the horsepower of your computer, you may have to render this effect in order to see it playback.

I'm working on interactive map for my client. But i'm stuck on functionality.
It's basically has 3 locations (child1-3) on base map(Bg), each stands for link to their assigned popup boxes.

i've done showing my base Bg and 3 initial locations. Also i tried to show first popup box by clicking child1 and it has some success.
But further i'm having problem for removing Box1 and it's BoxX button which means i want to return my Main_MC state by removing objects.
**pls help me on my work so i'll appreciate for your valuable time for helping me. I'm open to send some bonus via Skrill or Paypal.

Yes.
It would be best if you post a representative picture, indicating what you are trying to delete, and, how you are going about it. -

How do I eliminate unwanted objects in shot?
Hi all,
I have a tracking shot I want to utilize, but have to truncate this due to the fact that there is an unwanted reflection of a crew member in the chrome frame of the set table. Is the use of masks the most obvious solution to this problem and does this have to be implimented frame by frame? Any tips on ensuring the removal of these objects are seamless? Thank you in advance for any help?
Ibook 1.2, 512 Meg, Lacie D2 250 gig Ext drive, FC 4.5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)I'm thinking that aftereffects has a motion tracker that can track a spot on the video where your unwanted object is, without seeing your footage, but making an assumption that a shinny mirror like surface was in fact what you had the reflection on, you could use the motion tracker to track the reflection and add a little blur and then a little tint possible to match the frames color;
This would avoid the need for you to manually track the reflection, Motion tracking has flows in the way it devolopes keyframes, which will mean you will have the tweak the keyframs to get a smooth motion if the reflection is moving in the video frame;
However this could speed up your results.
I used motion tracking before when I worked on a PC, mostly to overlay new video onto something like a TV image, or to add animation to follow someones hand that sort of stuff. I never used it to remove an object, however if a little blur fixes the issue, and all you have to do is decided where on each frame to add the blur, motion tracking would likly be a big help;
After effects Pro is what includes motion tracking:
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/matrix.html
I hope this at least give you an idea of how to start, or triggers some thought from others...
p.s. you dont have to use the motion tracking data for a blur, you can use several points and have a mask created for you, or even use that data to clone from another video - once you have the data, you can generally be very creative with how you use that data in your footage.

Making and unwanted object disappear
I took notes while listening to the videoclip about removing unwanted objects and tried to apply what I had learned to a photo that had some telegraph wires I wanted to remove. I am working on a Mac OSX 10.7.5.
I right clicked on the spot healing brush , selected the 'content aware' option but couldn't get the wires removed. Then I also tried to lasso the wires. I selected in the Edit menu, the option 'fill'. I repeated the exercise three times but the wires did not disappear.
I also tried again one time lassoing first but then got this message:
"Could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable."
So I then had to undo the lasso in the edit menu at the top of the screen.
Where could I have gone wrong?Hi Randy
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I am a complete novice with Photoshop and am trying to teach myself from the videos so I apologise if I appear incompetent!
I tried to do as you suggested. I clicked on the image and then at the top scrolled down and discovered that 'RGB' was already selected so left it selected. I then selected 'Layer' on the top of the screen and scrolled down but could not find ‘root layer’. The only choices available were: new, duplicate layer, new fill layer, new adjustment layer, smart objects, video layer and none of these had an option of root layer in their drop down menus. Have I misunderstood you?
Also was I supposed to lasso the wires before following your instruction?
In addition, I have tried to insert the image to send to you and failed to do that too- how frustrating! I clicked on the camera symbol above this box , then 'choose file' from my computer , clicked on the image I wanted to insert and despite it coming up in the dialogue box and clicking 'insert image' nothing happened. I closed the dialog box and the image was not attached. I tried twice more with no luck. I don't think the link below will help you as it appears to be a link you need to use on my computer not for someone else to access from afar.

How to Remove a Report Object from a Category Without Deleting It?
I'm trying to "remove" a report object (in this case a Webi Report) from a Personal Category. However, I've found that when I right-click on the report within the Category and choose "Organize >> Delete", not only does it remove the report from the Category, it also deletes the "source" report from it's original location... not good. (NOTE: If I try this as a user without rights to delete report objects, I don't even get the "Organize >> Delete" option, as would be expected based on the behavior I'm seeing.)
Does anyone know if there is a way to "Remove" report objects from Categories without deleting the report from its original location? The only option I can think of is to simply recreate (copy/paste) the whole category with all of its components (less the undesired report object) and then delete the original Category.
Thank,
Josh
Edited by: Josh Crawford on Sep 9, 2010 9:25 AMHi,
This is much easier than it looks like, although it's not intuitive.
For example, when some webi is in a category, categories where the webi is linked are underlined in blue:
If you click in those blue marked categories and click Accept, you're unlinking the webi/report/dashboard from that category:

Hope it helps

How do I remove an unwanted Airport Express from my network?
I have been using a Time Capsule for several years. I am having trouble backing up to my Time Capsule. I have discovered an unknown Airport Express in my network. I've changed networks, added passwords to the network, etc. How do I remove this unwanted Airport Express from my network? I think he is wreaking havoc with my system!! Help...
Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
If it were me, I would try this "fix".

How do I remove an unwanted toolbar? I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it. It involves using Bing for everything as well. It's very annoying and I want to remove it. I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site. It takes me to all of Bing's choices. Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time. Can anyone help?
Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

How to remove Business content objects that are not required?
Hi all of you,
I had extracted some of the objects from business content from FI such as General LEdger and Asset Accounting. After extracting it, my c drive is full and I am not able to open any other file. So I want to remove these FI objects that I had extracted from Business Content. Can any one please guide as to how should I remove these already loaded Business content objects?
Thank you.
TR.Hi,
You can right click on the objects (unused) and delete.
actually when you activate business content its version is changes from "D" Delivered to "A" Active but these objects will always be available as D version to you. Even if you delete the activated objects now & need those in future you can reactivate them.
hope it helps

Removal of Inactive Objects from Roles
Dear All,
Please let me know, how to remove the inactive objects in roles.
Thanks in Advance,
ThiyaguHi Thiyagu.
In addition to Bernhard & Arpan's inputs,Since the number of Manually maintained objects (Inactive Status) is very less in a role, the majority of them are left behind for manual clean up. As a best practice , Inactive objects are retained in roles to have some history in case of any audits and also to maintain the object dependency to see why the object got into the role ... It helps any new security admin's to steer through audits when old timers move out ...
Hope it helps.
