Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Matte or Key?

  • Posted by Martin Nelson on January 9, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    I’m trying to make a white Shape from Video Generators, give it a soft edge and then use it as a matte. (I’m trying to create a vignette that takes the image away entirely at the edges so I get something that looks like a slide projector) My problem is when I apply a luma key to it the white goes away, but the gradient where I applied the softness to it stays on the screen as a diminishing gray band. I’m sure there is some easy way to do what I want to do without stepping outside FCP, but I’m stumped as to how.

    Any ideas?

    Sorry about the double post. I had some log in issues and didn’t realize I’d already posted.

    I know you said you didn’t want to go outside of FCP but with even basic PS skills you can whip a matte together in 5 min and most likely be happier with the results.
