ANIMATTE /PAINT as in avid for FCP I HAVE A REAL NIGHTMARE HERE read on
Hello all my FCPers, big nightmare here, an editor friend of mine cut this open/promo on an adrenaline using a lot of animattes, now we have been asled to do 3 more, except this time we want FCP, and fcp does not have animatte like the avid, does anyone know a plugin or program that works like animatte from within FCP, we wont have the time to export to AE or PS to try and comp out something, animatte if you ever used or saw it in action kicks butt within the edit, any help will be amazingly helpful. dont say why not get an AA, we can but we wanna prove to this group of producers it can be done on FCP and be better on FCP.

Animatte and paint really make the Avid systems sing. The lack of these tools in FCP is a source of constent frustration.
I dont know what part ot these tools youare using and how but for basic Animatte things I use the effect called 8 point garbage matte.

Google Paul Crisp. He has 16, 32 and 64 point garbage mattes.

It comes with FCP studio, it’s practically built in, and does a lot more than animatte for a lot less money.

Bret is right, Motion is most definitely the way to go and practically designed for things like opens. It is a very intuitive interface and the record button is extremely handy for the types of animations you are talking about – you can use it to rotoscope as well.

If Motion doesn’t give you what you want (it has decent rotoscoping tools, but you may want better), take a look at Silhouette Roto. There’s both an FCP plugin & a standalone app.
