I believe I stumbled across a solution to my first problem of the transition causing a fade-in or fade-out of audio before I wanted it to happen — keyframing the audio. It’s just that it seemed like I was able to expand audio and not have the transition apply to the expanded audio previously, thus avoiding the extra keyframing step.
I’ll confirm this with future transitions.

I meant to say in my post that I’ve seen various comments about the color correction glitch. It would be great if someone knew a solution.

Thanks for the reply, we’ll probably start using Thunderbolt 3 drives. I get the impression Apple went all in on the Thunderbolt 3 (which I believe uses the USB-C receptacle) because that’s the connector of choice for all kind of devices and storage.
However, I still have footage I need to work with on firewire drives, does anyone know if Apple’s suggested connection (above) will work dependably?

Thanks again.

I’ve got a set of free multi-point garbage mattes — how to I import them into FCP so they show up in my effects folder?

Thanks.

Thanks to Mark for the 12-point (or more) garbage matte suggestion, I’ll definitely try it. I was able to find some free matte plug-ins, along with a few others at this site: https://wiwutv51.com/finalcutpro/finalcut.html

Thanks for the reply — the CatDV product seems like exactly what I was thinking about!

April 7, 2010 at 2:46 pm in reply to: Using Matte Feature of Color Corrector 3 Way to blur background

I think the difference matte idea is closer to what I was thinking of. It seemed like I might try to isolate the interviewee and his chair, which were foreground, using color corrector 3-way but during a quick trial, it seemed that the color of the chair (maroon leather), his shirt (lt. blue oxford cloth), and his skin tone were too far apart to isolate in one filter. (Other elements of the shot are background).
I haven’t used difference matte, I’ll have to find a description.

Thanks for a lot of ideas. I’ll see what I can do with them.
