  • Simple question: Matte Key

    Posted by Rod Main on July 10, 2008 at 8:38 am

    How do I do the equivalent of an Avid Matte Key in FCP please? I have two layers of VT and a layer of b/w matte… sorry for being thick but I can’t work it out.
    Thanks in advance

    place the matte shape below the insert vision but above the BG vision
    top layer = inset vision
    mid layer = matte shape
    bot layer = background

    select the insert vision clip and enable ‘composite mode’ to be luminance

    What would I do without the ‘UNDO’ button!!!!
