Is it even possible to Rotoscope this scene

	Re: Is it even possible to Rotoscope this scene by David Roth Weiss on Sep 22, 2009 at 4:24:21 am Ugh!!! Too bad you didn't just stick a chroma key green card on the TV screen or even just leave it turned off, then you could have keyed out what was on the TV and put anything behind the moving guy. Now you'll have to roto every frame, and you're going to need something other than what came in the FCS2 box. David Roth Weiss Director/Editor David Weiss Productions, Inc.

	Re: Is it even possible to Rotoscope this scene by Neil Sadwelkar on Sep 22, 2009 at 4:35:59 am The guy who walks past the TV can't be in front of the TV for more than a few frames. That should be reasonably easy to mask using FCP's 8-point garbage matte or even in Motion. What you need is to place the TV screen footage on a new layer V2 to comp it into the TV. Then place the V1 layer on top of that on V3. Trim the clip in V3 to only include frames that the guy is walking past the TV. Then with the garbage matte, make a mask around that part of his body that covers the TV. This is also called a 'hold-out matte'. If you need more than 8 points, send the clip to Motion where you have a bezier matte. ----------------------------------- Neil Sadwelkar neilsadwelkar.blogspot.com twitter: fcpguru FCP Editor, Edit systems consultant Mumbai India Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

I'd never think about doing it with the 8-point garbage matte, but I guess I'm just spoiled, cuz I use Combustion for these things.

	Re: Is it even possible to Rotoscope this scene by Arnie Schlissel on Sep 22, 2009 at 5:00:00 am You will need to roto this out. You can try Motion. If you're not happy with the result, try Shake, it's got pretty good roto tools. If that's not good enough, try Silhouette Roto. It's a dedicated roto/paint tool, and it will definitely speed up the process. Arnie Post production is not an afterthought! http://www.arniepix.com/ Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Is it even possible to Rotoscope this scene by Kevin Monahan on Sep 22, 2009 at 8:26:33 pm You could do this very quickly in Motion with a hold out matte as described above, no need for expensive plug-ins.
