[U2b3rz]

#FTW

[letscallthosehogs07]

shia lebouf? lol

[metaphoricrocky]

Why do you have a gradient background? Do you export this movie (effectively flattening the tracks) then re-import it as a .mov? Then key out the green?

[hopkins7757]

how do you cut a clip in the timeline?

[outlandishfilms]

@hopkins7757 press b on your keyboard. then click where you want the cut.

Genial!

I'm a self taught budding documentary maker here in Spain (at the tender age of 58!)

Isn't the internet wonderful - a delightful youngster like yourself giving his free advice in a wonderfully down-to-earth, easy to follow manner.

Well done & many thanks and keep up the good, altruistic work!

Cheers,

Brandon

[88Melendez]

[tbird195]

If you are looking for a windows program that can do this, check out Wax. It does a pretty good job.

[SpeedLovePM]

thanks a lot brho! !:")

[IBAcreations]

also, is there any editing soft ware for windows that is free? or can i add something onto my windows movie maker to make cooler effects. I know that wmm cant do the green scrreen thing.

[IBAcreations]

I am buying an imac, and I was wondering what kind of editing software to get. I was thinking about buying final cut express 4, but is there anything else that would work as good or better? Also, can final cut express 4 use the green screen effect?

[AppleTutorialsNow]

yes it can. get final cut express.

[Bcf720]

final cut pro 7 is amazing

[FABIANCS]

Thank you this was very helpful.

[MaceUK71]

where do i get final cut pro?

[mattmackayagain]

the apple store (:

[techkid1000]

from a torrent, search it on youtube on how

[MUNKYGOPOOf]

my effects tab at the top disappeared.... how do i get it back... 0-0

[WritingMan63]

This tutorial proved to be very helpful...and offered an approach I hadn't seen in several other tuts. Thank you for helping me improve the quality of my green screen work!

[andrewwright99999]

Good video , if this is green sheet on hard floor/carpet , how do you stop it for getting creases or lines when people walk on it ?

[iloveudilin]

hey thankx mate. that was really useful. do u have any video for making ipod ad on final cut pro. please help me i it. can you mail me your email id to my id iloveudilin at the rate gmail.please

[epicurean1986]

Hi that was super useful...thanks...can you also put a video at the back in stead of a still image?

[placide1212]

Yeah you can put anything behind it. You just put the video clip in place of the photograph :) happy filming

[macwizful]

thank you so mush for this out standing tutorial best one on you tube is it the same if i wanna ad a picture behind me just answer yes or no if no please send instructions its my first time using final cut pro thanx very good tutorial and  mac rules

[voodooscuba]

@macwizful i think your comments would be better appreciated received understood and responded to had you any sense of punctuation mechanics usage diction or voice retard

[RheDeVille]

Great video - will refer to it when that time comes. However the most informative line here, for me, b/c I am relatively new to FCP:

"Rendering is a pain in the ass..."

Thanks for confirming what I'd been wondering all along and what no manual would EVER state!! :)

[JamieLProductions]

Wait... what happened to the gradient?

[HMSongs]

u sound kind of lyk shia lebeouf. thx mahn. help a LOT.

[IvektFromMoldova]

Heh! Heh! Canadian accent! (or very near Canada)

[eshghemaniran]

what software did you use to record your Mac's screen?

[zfqbtzvz]

If you're on windows you can use Camtasia or on Mac you can use iShowU. Any other Mac screen recorders suck. Trust me :P

[eshghemaniran]

thanks alot.how can i zoon in and zoon out while the screen is getting recorded?

[zfqbtzvz]

There are different keys pre-set/you can set to zoom to the area in which your cursor is at. Play about with it, read the keyboard short cuts manuals and so forth. Hope you enjoy ;)

[eshghemaniran]

thanks alot

[baptistepcarrara]

zoon?

[take450]

ScreenFlow is WAYYYYY better than iShowU. Trust me.

[baptistepcarrara]

well, do you want to pay for it?

or shall i leave the water mark there?

[Shereeeeeeeeeeeee]

you don't sound like you look,

lol xD

[eshghemaniran]

thanks alot.very useful.

[Yotabyte10]

is it me?? or does he look like the son of Carl Sagan, the late astrological scientist??

he was famous for the >>BBILLLLIOOONNSS AND BIIILLIIOONSSS of STARS! lol

[Maddhater1]

i think its just you....

[MrHydrostudios]

What did you use for the very very beginning for the ice flow studios logo thing?

[00joe]

damn man you really fooled me with that twist intro.

[backwindow]

it took 1 day to render one frame of finding nemo. pretty crazy huh.

[MegaMooch18]

Oh my god, Thats crazy

[youneversaiditwasok]

I was wondering... Since one of the main keys of green screen is perfect lighting... will you be able to do any scenes in low-key lighting if that's what the scene calls for? Thanks in advance. :) Your tutorial's great.

[TheTrevinator]

I'm not really an expert, so I will just try to throw an idea out there man. With me and my friend, when we need a dark green-screened scene, we simply screen it at full light, then apply color correction and darkening in editing. Its tricky to do, but if you can get it right then it looks amazing. Hopefully this helped?

[juan152008]

This video was uploaded in 2007 and it's widescreen!!! I didn't know you could put videos WD in 2007

[xilxetx]

i think thats when he joined youtube

[MuskratandRatman]

bright green construction paper with green tape

[xeonspirit]

Great dude

[rockmeslowly79]

Hey when you get (FCP) how many disks does it come with?

[Rebldoomer]

i dont think you can get FCP by itself; it comes with other programs including DVD studio pro, soundtrack pro, motion, and i probably forgot some.

[kyle8293]

color

[14NicholasSe]

nine disks

[maddiepiano88]

peach!

[gupptabs]

yeah i know but i got paid 2,000 dollars for one tv show so it was worth it

[gupptabs]

thx and renders are a pain in the ass i ws rendering a tv show that i made for my church and it took like 2-3 days

[Fr0zone662]

I dont get it why would you render a tv show?

[gupptabs]

becaus i am the editor for my church tv shows or was until our camers broke

[davesmilez]

at first I thought it was the guy from Transformers

[BradleyEversley]

u look lyke shia lebeouf

[TheMichaelJBennett]

well articulated but the scope tangented to frequently

[dyrim99]

okay okay okay. where did you get your hat? i want one of those. i've been looking all over for them. it's like an army hat with rounded top?

[Khosrulhussain]

Your tutorials have helped me loads.

Cheers - Check my Showreel out :)

[nuk8]

its cheaper to tape poster board together

[carlsnyder79]

your stuuf is very expensive is more ship in other stores

[LookeeboxSTUDIOS]

does the lighting ever bounce off the green screen material, some materials do this, some sheets have a film on them that is a fabric softener, making the light bounce or reflect. have you ever encountered this ? Lookeebox Studios

[maruffle]

Thanks very good tutorial very clear and helpful.

Look forward to the Pinnacle 12 tutorial using croma

Thanks for you time

Malc

[funu81]

hey don't mind me but when u completed a movie editing in final cut pro, how do u burn it to DVD.? please help, i have a 1 hrs 59 mins long movie done editing in final cut pro and it won't let me burn it to DVD. It says to use the quick time conversion....and i did, but the quicktime conversion thing still on the going...and the estimated time keep going up not down......it's been almost 2 days now...is there any quicker and easier way? please help me out... thanks..

[mganhan]

Thanx from Spain! Very great tutorial for those who don't have much money, as me. Thanx, very very much!

[gladiator4393]

Awesome tutorial! I am new to chroma keying in final cut pro and this answered a load of my questions!

[ViLLyViLLz]

How do i bring my crop tab back up... I closed it by mistake , im fairly new to this. its getting frustrating how i cant find a way to open it back up.

[Abubakardurrani]

hey can any one tell me were can i download Final Cut Pro 5 or 6 i really need it

[mbrandon11]

buy it...

[Abubakardurrani]

can i download it from some were

[mbrandon11]

Doubt it - no.1 its MASSIVE so would take ages and no.2 it's illegal in a massive way. SOmething like Final Cut you could be sued to shit. I Just bought Final Cut Studio 2 with everything for £530 pounds not too bad....

[g739]

no u have to buy it it cost about £150 dunno how much in other countrys sozzzz i got final cut express i havent noticed any differences between express and pro

[Jennyfc]

some torrent sites have it, but i dunno if it works

[Fall3nsouls]

I got final cut studio 5 from piratebay. works like a charm.

[n1rockyfan]

sammee

[TheTrevinator]

You know what else works like a charm? Getting a job and paying for your shit. Support the guys who works their asses off to make software to help us out.

[looloobusterduke]

i dont get it, y do we need gradient, or is he just using gradient as a bg?

[henriquelopes92]

Great, thank you!!!

[michaelpraetorius]

great tutorial. It helped me a lot!

[FirebrandNIRE]

Anybody used the send to Motion from Final Cut Pro for Chroma Keying? I'm no expert, but I find the results far better doing it this way.

[themacbook2]

imovie 09 has chroma key but i have premire,after effects cs4 and final cut studio

[alexander0296]

diffentchi differentchi*giving an empty look* differentiate :P 2:20

[mrwashur1991]

nvm...you covered everything....

[mrwashur1991]

im pretty confused with your green screen...theres somthing infront of it and a section without green covering?

[jamesingtonthethird]

0:02 so thats why the waves don't move lol

[potlu]

nice . does any1 know how to install fcp in windows or linux.

[Creaturesfarley]

Yup...first of all, you buy a Mac...then you throw your PC away...then you install FCP. : )

[tedmackel]

YEAH!!!!!  ROTFLMAO

[OfficialTwigg]

ROFL

[batu2260]

for reaaaaaaaaal FUCK PC

[mrwashur1991]

start by not buying a PC...then but a Mac...then install FCP 6 on your brand new iMac

[LetsGoPlayInTraffic]

use sony vegas or adobe after effects because final cut pro is mac only

[vacancyinalcatraz]

macs are definitely a better computer for video/photo editing.

[LetsGoPlayInTraffic]

i know the guy was just asking what to use on a pc im building a hackintosh now and im putting logic and final cut on it because that is what i use in school

[VALENTINEproductions]

what do you do after this whole process? where do you put your background and what do you do with the gradiant?

[smohapz]

Excellent tutorial!!! thank you. Also remember mention how to insert the background. By deleting the Green Gradient and inserting your background choice. Thanks again.

[tedmackel]

Great tutorial!!!. that fixed several FInal Cut issues I was struggling with. iMovie 09 has Green screen, but forget using it if you to not have perfect lighting. I will say that Premiere works better with crappy lighting for the basics.

[RIsabell679]

This Was worth the slow start. Didnt even think abou the blue and green effect. good stuff much easier!!!

[Woreyel]

Why do you say Pr'miirr instead of Premi-air, wait a second, you're American. ah.

[miguelgarcia306]

wat happens if i have to move in the video? i have a green screen but there are shadows! can u pliz help?

[sacredgeometry]

taught screen, two lights from left and right between you and the screen so you dont cast shadows you should be about 4 meters infront of it roughly

[EliaForce1984ita]

The new iMovie 2009 I think have the chroma key by it's own!!!!

[FirebrandNIRE]

Imovie 09 has like an automated chroma key, its at a very basic level without any controls, but still works ok.

[80l0l08]

Ah, that's the jerk who always steals ideas and content from fellow authors...sigh

[hannahmontanaxoxo5]

1 and only way!

thanks so much!!

[bluehominid123]

Imovie '09 has the green screen effect now and other good effects too. It's trying to catch up to final cut pro, it seems.

[pdxnewsguy]

diff er wrench e eight  or th D word lol good clip bud

[bobbbyyy1]

good stuff

[thatshiphop]

Best one for green screen online so far , You can also you spill suppressor, color smoothing, matte choker, all of it works great, thank you

[Steve1190]

this is tight

[Bolivar1966]

Can You tell me how cai i put the background after all the steps that you said? please answer

[bluemouth1]

how do you actually put the background you want in?

Plz Answer

[Exceltia]

He covered that in this video.

[SevenCoolTeens]

delete the green gradient

then put whatever background

you want in that slot under your main clip

hope that helps :)

-Haley

[azzadchuffe]

i agree... its ok with final cut pro :)

[shlewu22]

So does anyone know if you can just overlay (or underlay) a background after creating this green screen?

[ThurtySheep]

You're the best! Don't get Vegas! No need. -.-

[HVXSilverstar]

Way cool! Thanks

[Dracojet2000]

do you play World Of WarCraft

[DanAran162]

This software is so overwhelming and difficult to use. Hopefully i'll remember all this for class tomorrow.

[fireball420]

ya me to lol

[HardlyEpicFilms]

what do you export your videos out as? which file type? I'm exporting in .avi which is far too big.

[btownsmostwanted]

[Vegetanthony]
