Glad you found a solution.

I spent a minute trying to do this to your still with TopazLabs Photo AI. It’s not perfect. Just trying to see if AI could do it. I’m not familiar with an AI app that would remove this from moving footage. You could export the video as a PNG sequence, then fix each frame, and then turn them back into video. Might be faster than painting.

For me, my basic keywords are related to my folder organization for each job. On my external edit SSD, I start with a job folder that contains subfolders: Day 1 original footage, Day 2 original footage, etc., stock footage, VO, music, SFX, etc.

After I create my Library, I import all those folders at once into the event created with the Library, which creates keyframes based on the folder names. I may create more Events in the Library if I want ones for different episodes, or whatever.

From there, if needed, I can add folders in the browser to contain groups of keywords. And as I review all my assets, I will create more keywords (CMD-K) to make it easier to find things. It’s not a one-click process, but it keeps me organized.

I’m not that fluent with Resilve, but I think you need to apply a border effect that follows the mask. I did a quick search and found this tutorial. I don’t know if it works with the magic mask.

Check it out at 4:24.

It sounds like FCP periodically thinks it’s lost a link to a file, but it hasn’t actually lost it. It’s never happened to me. Where is the footage stored: in the Library or externally?

I own every product in the Creator Studio except MainStage. I was concerned that subscription apps would receive updates (probably AI updates) that one-time-purchase apps would not.

That concern was laid to rest in a recent interview in CineD with Bryan O’Neil Hughes from Apple, who stated, “The same features and functionality – Visual Search, Transcript Search, Beat Detection – will be on the one-time purchase version that you have today. It’ll update, and it’ll all just work as you expect it to.”

Whew, for now! This is not to say that Apple will not change its mind later.

I own them all except MainStage. The next step might be a subscription for updates. I wouldn’t be surprised if Blackmagic follows Apple’s lead.

I agree. It’s about time.

Yes. 48kHz sample rate is good. I use WAV, but AIFF is basically the same. If you’re sharing files, I’d use WAV as it’s more common, especially in professional use. While not necessary, I use 24-bit bit depth.
