I’m not sure why you want to just key a clip in Motion 4. The Primatee RT keyer is in FCP as well. Or you can use the Chroma Keyer.
If you don’t want to export out a clip you can treat the Motion project file like it is a clip and render it in FCP, keep in mind that the Render time will be long.

When we have done it we used a jib. However, what really makes food look good is a great food artist. Food doen’t look the best on camera, there are lots of tricks to make it look more appealing.

I’m on a Mac so I like to export out my videos to Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). The quality is great. Then I compress the file for DVD.I haven’t used it yet, but Adobe has compression software (Adobe Media Encoder) with pre-set codec settings. Use their DVD settings and then take it into Adobe Encore to create the DVD. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Is this playing on a DVD player, are you hooking a computer or iPad to the TV? How is it going to play on a TV?

I agree with the advice you have already received. All you need is some sort of title that says this is a demo reel and then let your work speak for itself. Much easier to do in a NLE system. Take a look at the Video tab at the top of this page. The COW has a whole section dedicated to demo reels. Take a look at how they are laid out.

I know I’m late to the show…but, really?!? It’s this hard to do a feathered garbage matte??I agree. Something so simple really needs to be in 6.5.

I think I’ll NOT upgrade OSX and keep using FCP 7…WOW, I must just be spoiled with so many years of ease of use. I feel bad for others that must edit with PP. Sigh. I purchased the Master Suite version of CS and thought I’d try my hand at a project with PPCS5CS6 has an improved UI. For me, below is a small list of why you should consider using PPro:
-You don’t need to render keyed footage and PPro’s keyer is WAY better then FCP 7’s.
-You can work with raw files (This should be the main reason to you PPro, Avid or FCPX)
– You can set it to keep track of which clips have been placed in your timeline and how many times you used each clip in the timeline. (This is WAY better then how FCP does it by a long shot)
– You can play timeline and edit at same time
-You can alter a clip and then bring it back and PPro remembers the render files
Trust me, I’m a big FCP guy. I’ve written numerous tutorials and training DVDs on Final Cut Studio products. PPro has problems but it has a lot to offer. I would use it on every project if they would make it so I can send my projects to DaVinci.
