Do a video mixdown, and export that.

Fluid Morph has been available at least since MC3, if not since the previous incarnations.

I’m not in front of an Avid at the moment, but somewhere in BCC there is a ‘Difference Matte’ effect which would work very well.

Find the Attic, the last version should be under the date you last worked on the programmes, restore from there.
If that last version is incomplete, try a previous version.

If you put the noise reduction filter on all the clip on V1, put the same clip on V2, then use ANIMATTE on the clip on V2 to mask out what you don’t want treated, that should give you what you want.

Hi Gideon,
Mark says it right, (he’s always so very detailed that I don’t know how he gets the time).
Sensitivity to the music is the main thing, if the track is slow, probably cut slow, if it’s very fast and beaty, cut fast.
Don’t always cut on the beat, but for instance on the drums, cut just before the beat so you see the drumstick hit on the beat.
Always cut to add some more information to the story, never cut because it’s time to change shots.
If you imagine watching the band live, think of what you want to be watching, where your focus is at any one time. If the singer is not singing, you don’t want to be watching him/her if there’s a guitar riff going on, you want to see the guitarist or a CU of the fingers on the guitar.
Going back on when the singer isn’t singing, cut to them if there’s an interesting reaction to something else going on, a smile, a clap or whatever.
React to things going on in front of you, and show it to us, the viewer, show us the personality of the band.

Quite correct Dean, you can’t put a motion effect on your clip because the Alpha is locked.
The way round is slightly long-winded but –

Step into the clip, copy the picture part to the clipboard, open a new timeline, paste the picture to the timeline. Do the same with the Alpha channel.
So you’ve got a timeline with the picture content and the alpha content (Black and White) on the timeline.
Do a video mixdown of both.
You can then do motion effect as desired, on both.
Next put the picture part on V2, the Alpha part lined up above, on V3.
Put a Matte key effect onto the B+W alpha clip, (you may have to swap the sources).
And Bob’s your Uncle!

I wouldn’t worry Astrid, I think they never work.

Hi Pepijn
My solution for this problem is in two stages.
On V1 put a colour that you will use to colour key your eventual image with.
On V2 put your image with Animatte, at the largest size that you will use. Either do a video mix down, or make that a sub-master.
Put that on V2 over the image you want to key onto.
Put the Spectramatte effect onto the mix-down or sub-master, and key out the colour background. Spectramatte gives you the ability to move and resize that image without affecting the background.
(If you’ve used the sub-master method, you can go back into the effect to change parameters that you need to.)
