  • I want to know as well. I bought DV matte blast and it is pretty good, but I would rather have a nice keyer in FCP. I saw the new adobe premier has a decent one. If I could key in FCP, that would save me a lot of headache in roundtripping.

    When you play with the software, see how well you can pull a key on a “not so good” clip and see how it stands up.

    We are foaming at the mouth with anticipation!

    Thanks Ken,

    It took some playing, but the roundtip method works the best for a transparent bacground. I think I didn’t have my background (playing with red and green spill etc.) as transparent as I wanted. When I drag back to FCP and render things look pretty good. For digital keying that is. I think DV garage should explain the process a litle better. They have great tutorials, but no instructions and I have had three emails never returned when asking for help.

    I got the round trip to finally work, but even when you set the background to 0%, I am assuming this is to get no color at all, there seems to be a hint of something that is very slightly non-transparent when I import into FCP. I keyed a person with DV Matte Blast and put a background of the Rocky Mountains (in FCP) and rendered. I can still see the the slightly non-trasparent background that came from motion over top of my background.

    I am on the above post for DV matte blast help and just tried the “roundtrip”. No audio came in with the clip and after rendering I have black canvas and viewer windows

    I do have motion. I was impressed with the backrounds U2 had. Can you do layers in motion if you build an image? Do you have a tutorial in keying in motion?

    thanks

    I decided t o go with a Yamaha MG12/4. I have only been playing with it for a bit, but the S/N is good and you can’t beat the price. 199.00 USD. I did apples to apples in the music store and the yamaha didn’t sound any different.

    thanks for the info.
