Nice promo!

BTW, does anyone know of any good tutorials on the compound clip topic?

Yeah, those keys look good.

For this project, I’m looking at 2 7Ds, which on the plus side are 1080, but on the down side are only 4-2-0 color space for keying OR
2 Panasonic HDX 800 which on the plus side are 4-2-2 but on the down side 720P, which will need to be uprezzed to pro res and then projected on a 20 foot screen.

Neither is ideal. I’m tempted to go with the 7Ds, just a little leery of the keys, especially when blown up/projected.

No lorries on the lighting side. The DP is great.

Thanks again.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to using the keyer in X. That said, my concerns for the 7d is that the end result will be digitally projected on a 20′ screen for a corporate event, so the key will need to be pretty tight.

Best,

Mike

This may be just the tool you need (but looks like it only works with FCPX 10.0.2, not .03). It’s pretty cool.

Good luck.

FYI, Magic Bullet Looks 2 now incorporates the Cosmo skin smoothing plug in (and many aspects of Colorista, from what I can tell). They were running a 50% off deal through the 8th but I read in another forum that the discount is still valid. I’m new to MB/Cosmo but the skin smoothing function looks very useful.
