Remove BoomPole/Mic from frame with FCP

[Ed Dooley]

That’s how my dad motivated me as a youngster. 🙂

Fear is a marvelous motivator, is it not?”

[Ayrods]

Yeah right, fear of not meeting deadlines, lol.
Seriously, manuals are tough to learn from, at least that is the case for me. I find videos tuts much much more entertaining, less boring and very informative.
Anyway, on this one, I have no choice.

Thanks guys for your input.

A quick fix would be to enlarge the entire clip so that the boom pole isn’t visible (including before and after it appears in frame), and then put a widescreen mask on it to match your other letterboxed footage. You lose a slight bit of resolution by enlarging, obviously, but if it’s quality footage no one should really notice.
