It sounds like you’re inserting a clip. When you insert a clip it moves everything down to the right. If you don’t want everything to shift do an overwrite edit but the new clip is going to cover up some of the clips or clip already in the timeline.

Thanks Mike these look great…can’t wait to try them

I need it because it doesn’t make sense to use the HD safe zones when most people don’t have an HD tv.

I’m not in front of final cut right now but I’m pretty sure you can just link all your audio together, make your adjustments then unlink them

“Can’t afford HD hardward scopes just yet. Awaiting the ones from Decklink.”

Is that because an external scope is more accurate? But FCP scopes can get the job done.

What I meant by you can’t do this in final cut is that in additon to final cut another application would have to be used also like motion or photoshop like you just said you did

[Amir Abed]

did you double check that you don’t have any in and out points set?

This is a very easy effect to do and it doesn’t use a green screen. You can’t do it in Final Cut you need to use Motion or After Effects. Make a 3 to 5 second freeze frame of the part of the video you want to use…drop it in after effects or motion then double the layer and using the biezer tool garbage matte the person on layer 2 after you cut out your person any video you put above layer 2 will cover up the person garbaged matted any clips you put between layer 1 and 2 will be behind the person garbaged matted. Experiment with differnt color effects textures and motion to get the look you want..good luck
