    I want to manipulate a host to give the appearace it is in a TV monitor. I have the look but I can’t seem to figure out how to make the corners of the screen have a rounded rectangle look rather than square that I get when I use the border filter. Any help will be thanked.

    Instead of using the effect called border, try using video filters > matte > mask shape and choose round rectangle for the shape.

    If that doesn’t work, there are a few garbage matte plugins out there, or you could do it in AE, or you could do it very easily in Motion which has fine masking, or you could get yourself a copy of Silhouette Roto and do it right inside FCP.

    Have a wonderful day.
