How to edit this scence?

Checkout CoreMelt’s Slice X. It should be able to do what you want.

This is a great pointer John! Any tools or techniques available within FCP X so I don’t have to purchase this plug-in?

[Steve Eisen]

You never said you were looking for free. A lot of people worked very hard to create effects that can cover up video.

I would cut just before the wink.

That BBQ stained wall is going to need some serious rotoscoping. FCPX can not do that. As a shooter, I would have seen the stained wall and cleaned it before I shot. I’m gonna guess a re-shoot is not possible.

With due respect Steve, I never wanted anything for free. I own a licensed copy of FCP X and wanted to know if the fixes could be applied using it own tools rather than buying something else which of course might be the option I have to take if nothing else works.

Rshoot is not possible. I am just the editor. I was not involved with the shooting project.

This isn’t something you can accomplish in FCX…not convincingly.

OK great. Thanks you all. I will pass this project on to someone else.

sorry, i haven’t looked at the video,
but a blink replacement would take about 5-10 minutes to do in FCP7

if the head is turning it’s harder and may not be possible.
a WINK is not blink, and may not be possible as the face scrunches up too much.

my process is:

take the last good frame of the eye before,
make a freeze, put it on V2
track the eye to the head by turning freeze to difference mode, and key framing,
use an eyebrow, say to track.

do the same with the first good frame of the eye after the blink.
put it on V3
do an dissolve between the two freezes, from the before-blink to the after-blink frames.
usually i do an opacity keyframe rather than a dissolve.

over this same duration dupe the V1 section on to V4
use an 8-point garbage matte around the eye area. (generally looks like a Zoro mask!)

The wink isn’t the problem!

You might also do this in Motion. The eye is the challenge. The wall can be handled with a tracked matte, although, there’s some rotoscoping to be done with the person standing in front of it.
