Gotcha. Thanks for the help. Ironically I asked my boss and she said the same thing. Then she found my post and your answers she forwarded them to me as a “see, I was right.” Well played boss, well played.

Thanks, I try that.

Does that have any advantage over reducing the opacity in Final Cut itself?

[Kian Mckellar]

I might resort to that but it is more fun to learn something new. *grin*

Dave:
I’m unfamiliar with motion but I might check it out for this. I’m more familiar with After Effects and the steady cam feature in there so I might try that first. It is an idea worth following up with.

David:
Tried that first and it had mixed results. It looked better but the image definitely drifted at points because it was trying to follow each picture. Tried exporting the export after your message and applying again but no luck. Thought if you had a similar idea it might have merit to pursue further but not quite what I want. Thanks for the suggestion.

Figured it out. I didn’t know what padding did but it seems pretty effective in forming video to the same format.

Kevin,
I’m trying to do what you recommended. I created a mask and stroke and then I tried to transfer the movement to a flare. When I hit M I don’t come up with anything on the mask path or copy to flare. It simply has its position and no key frames. Am I missing something entirely?

I guess no one else is having this trouble. Hmmmm.

This, just, made, MY ENTIRE #%(*ING MONTH.

Thanks. That is what I thought too.
