Sorry for the lack of details. I am planning on shooting a bowl of fruit on a table with a white table cloth. The frame will be a medium shot with the bowl of fruit in the back right hand corner of the frame. The rest of the frame will be white table cloth without any edges of the table showing. A couple pieces of fruit will come over the bowls edge and do some moving around on the table.
My problem is the fruit in the bowl.

Say I have three of each piece of fruit, pears, grapefruit, orange and apple. If I move the apples with my hands green screened, none of the other fruit is moving, the same goes for when i move the other fruit. How do I combine all of my footage of moving fruit?

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying to “Mask” each piece of fruit as a separate layer?

I will have to try that out and get back to you. Right now I am exporting out new Quick Times after dropping them in the timeline and changing the speed, making no cuts. I will then cut from the new QT’s. It is a long way around but It will get me there. I will try to change the speed after I render these out. Thanks.
