  • Better cookie cutter needed

    Posted by Jens Theisen on December 28, 2011 at 8:02 pm

    I’m playing with chroma keying for the first time and use the cookie cutter to do some extra cutting out of background where the footage wasn’t covered by the green screen (actually there are some holes it). The cookie cutter works for that job, but it’s cumbersome to use, since I can only control position and size of the shape, rather than each border individually.

    Is there a better way to do this?

    Go to the pan and crop tool, and in the bars for keyframes, on the left, choose mask instead of position. Then you can cut out exactly what you want.

    I only see position (pan and crop tool for video events).

    Maybe that’s a Pro-only feature, I only have Movie Studio.

    Thank you very much for the quick response though!

    Yes, masking is a Pro-only feature so you’ll have to continue doing it the cumbersome way you’ve been doing it 🙁
