keying a graphic
I am trying to key a graphic in FCP. It is a simple gif (a company logo) with a white background. What I have been doing is dropping a color key filter on it, eye dropping the white and playing with the tolerance, edge feather and edge thin. I can get most of the white out, but it looks terrible. There must be a better way. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,Dan

Open up the graphic in Photoshop, add an alpha channel to it with black where it’s supposed to be transparent and white where the logo is supposed to show, and save that as a .tiff, .tga or .png. Then use that in FCP.

Yeah like Arnie said … to Add, I would go with a PNG Graphic File from Photoshop, for the renders take less time than a TIF.
