Actually, chroma key and mask feather did the job fine. Didn’t use a green screen because the shoot is in a small room, and we didn’t want to change locations and hassle the lights necessary for that.

I don’t understand the FCP manual on this point but I’ve done this in the past. It must be pretty simple. Surely there HAS to be a way to render clips in a format different from the sequence codec.

Thanks.

Ah, veddy nice. (The RENDER Manager, not the MEDIA Manager, of course.) And now……please see the next thread: Renegade Renders

Not clear how to do this. My FCP 7 Render Manager allows me to “include render files” when deleting media, but I don’t see how to delete ONLY render files. At best, for me the Render Manager is ALWAYS scary.

Hmm. I’ve trashed renders on the desktop (iMac OS 10.5, currently FCP 7) for years. Guess I’ve been lucky. Thanks for letting me learn the easy way.

[Walter Miale]

Hmm. What happens when you do it by just trashing the files from the HD?

[Walter Miale]

Thanks. Will the clips render anew, i.e. from the original media files, in this process so that this will not be a second re-digitization? I seem to recall there is a single control click on the timeline that will unrender.

As email attachments. I may have also uploaded them to the Web for him to try downloading too, but am not sure.

Almost (at least) everybody else opens them, no problem.

Calling Sherlock Holmes……..

Yes. The extensions are always jpg.

I guess the problem is at the client’s end, hm?
