Found the appropriate tutorial,

It does depend on the shot being locked off, is fiddly, but works well.

Hi Jon,
found the tutorial that hopefully describes what you want:https://library.creativecow.net/articles/saleh_ra-ey/difference_matte.php
It worked really well.
Hope it works for you

If you have a locked-off shot, with and without the trapeze artist, you can use the Boris RT Composite effect, (Apply mode should be DIFFERENCE ) which will make a matte of the difference between the two shots.
There was a tutorial a while ago either here on Creative Cow or on the Avid site.It’s fiddly, but it works.

There was a tutorial somewhere, either here on Creative Cow, or on the Avid discussion group, which described exactly that on Avid.
It was based on using the difference matte on the Boris Effects Composite effects.
Do a search for that, maybe there’s a FC equivalent.Good luck

I remember there was a long discussion about headphones a few months ago on one of the forums, either Creative Cow, or the Avid forums, try a search in both of those.

Assuming you’re cutting the dialogue for an interview, if you have a transcript of that dialogue you can easily work from that.
Of course you will need someone who understands the language to mark up the tanscript as to what you want in the programme.
You will very quickly get a feel of the language and know where to cut any dialogue as long as it’s marked up on the transcript. Keep a very good note of the timecodes of where paragraphs start and end, and you’ll soon know where sentences start and end.
You will need someone to check all your cuts, but that’s easily adjusted.
If you try to work from a subtitled version, you’ll be looking at 2 different references as to where dialogue should cut. Unless every word is subtitled seperately, which would not make sense in English anyway because the word sequence in the sentence would be different from English. To do the subtitles you’d need a complete transcript anyway.
This sort of job is done in Europe all the time, and presents few problems.Hope this helps,

I’m a freelancer, so I’ll work with what I’m given, I’ll work on film with Selotape, or even VHS with BITC if that’s all there is.
But at the moment it’s MC on PC

Simply unlock the sync of the audio track, then trim (or extend) by the frame at the point it starts to go out of sync, and Bob’s your Uncle.

Excelent explanation Terence, it makes things very clear for me.
From your explanation I’ve been trying different things, and have a problem with titles in this respect.
nameley: how can I affect a TITLE only and not the background. I’ve been trying to Shatter (from the BCC effects) the TITLE only.
The problem is that the stepped in channel is locked, it says can only be unlocked from the top layer, and nothing seems to unlock that.Any hints?
Yours in anticipation,

In TITLE TOOL, use the rectangle, drag it out to the full screen, change it to any colour you want, save as, then edit it into your timeline.
