First, you put your image behind the set, it shows “through” the green screen when keyed out.

As for it following the motion, you have to keyframe that manually.

I’d not compare an NLE to a compositing app, apples to onions. I’d ask why does each clip need its own Project timeline? If I knew what your goal was, they may be another technique to achieve it in FCP. So, again, why does each clip in an NLE need its own project timeline?

Not that I know of, because FCPX is not set up to do manual transcriptions. Why not use a service like Rev to do the transcode, then import that into FCPX, and simply tweak what’s automatically there?

[Ben Balser]

Yeah, as much as I like FCPX, it is still missing basic, professional, essential tools, after ten years.

I only use camera LUTs when necessary, I never touch LUTs, I just grade as needed.

Trim it down in QTPlayer or trim it down in FCP and export the new shortened version, that’s about the fastest, easiest ways.

What format are you shooting in?

I just tested and it all works on macOS 12.6 and FCP 10.6.4 and it works just as y’all want it to.

I can make multicam clips from multiple Favorites ranges on clips, select them and make a multcam clip out of only the Fav ranges.

I can create mutliple Favorite ranges on one multicam clip, then Cmd-E and they’re all in the Timeline.
