Thank you Noah.

Noah, thank you for your assistance. I’ve looked at Motion.

Then I thought I may be able to do the crowd scene simply by using the keyer on FCP.
I replicated my husband and I dancing, turning us into a large crowd.

This worked, however a lot of the footage is dragging. Do you think this will right itself when ‘background tasks’ are completed?

Thanks again Noah. Appreciate your input.
So, on the video you attached, is it the part starting at 1:14 where Motion would be used to composite the various pieces of footage?
I notice on the example in the video that people (after the composite) don’t really overlap. They are all walking singly up the steps. For a lot of people dancing, I’d be looking at overlapping; some people would be partially obscured, etc. i.e they’d be bunched up. Is this where I’d use Motion?

And then can my newly created crowd scene be imported into my FCP timeline?

Thanks,
Harles (newbie)

Thank you Noah.

I haven’t taken any footage yet, but I’m working on a music clip where I’ll want to turn a few people dancing into a big crowd.

I have not used Motion. I’d be glad of any advice you could give please. Is it compatible with FCP X ?

Thanks again,
Harles
