Hello
I have one question
lets say I have a clip of 2 man walking together - so what i would like to know if there is a way in FCP to freeze one person and let the other keep walking.
or I need to use After Effects for that ?
If there is a way in FCP , how ?
Thanks
Greg.

Hard to say without seeing it – and it might be close to impossible depending on image content in ANY software – I'd make two tracks and apply a soft mask plus freeze.

There can be a big difference in just "having" a clip, and "shooting" a clip for this purpose.
If I wanted to create this scene, I'd make sure to shoot it with the effect in mind.
Then, it would be very quick and easy to accomplish using just two video layers (as Uli said) in FCP.

yeah, very important, and also MUCH easier if you film it with the camera completely static on a tripod. Then you can be sure that the background of the static man will be the same as the background of the moving man and it will not look unnatural.
