Drawing mattes and shapes in FCP,
Hi.
Another question…. If I wanted to draw a garbage matte in FCP, say around someones head… how do I do this… In the effects filter for mattes I have choices of four and eight point mattes but what if I wanted to draw around a particular part of the clip??
Also For things like blur effect… if I wanted to blur something in particular, how do I draw the shape?? I find I can not do anything but blur the entire picture?
Can someone please help me or at least direct me to a useful tutorial 🙂
Thank you
Regards
Conan

I’d been meaning to ask about this…
I tried using the 8-point garbage mask, but found the setting tools to be very annoying – having to select each point in the effect options to set it.
I was surprised not to find anything better in FCP? Avid MC has Animatte and the Paint Tool which are pretty simplistic, but really handy for quick fixes (their ommision from Xpress Pro was always a huge frustration for me), I figured there’d be something similar in FCP given it’s generally more featured effects set.

Motion. FCP has extremely rudimentary mask making functions.

Take a look at Silhouette Roto.
