Selecting people only from a video clip by their motion?
I want to use a graphical background layer and place some video of some people in the foreground. The problem is the video was shot outside, with varying colors in the background so Chromakey won’t work.
Is there a way in Final Cut to select a person or people, by their motion compared to the background, and fade the back ground to transparent?
Thanks,
Brian

You could do the following (elaboarate)
In PS CS3 Extended you can load a clip in as a series of frames and tell it to average the clip to a clean still
Then bring that still in and try to do a difference key (probably work better in AE)
Perfect… no…. but may get you closer

I guess I should have said that I’m using Final Cut Express and/or iMovie for any of this. Sorry about that,
