Final Cut Tutorial: Masking

[wastedtalentusa]

Really nice way to explain things. Easy to understand, and straight to the point. Some other people here on Youtube would turn this explanation you gave into a 20 minutes video.

You said everything we were looking for quick and perfectly explained.

Thanks again.

[wastedtalentusa]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!

[FraasaFilms]

thanks, sometimes the project doesn't have the budget for AE and this is an excellent way to do a fast mask. thanks!

[flaminfoxproductions]

can you mask out only a small part of a clip? and how?

[tejaspics]

Excellent bro! Thanks.

[OkachoobeFilms]

That helped a lot! But where did you get the stock footage? I really need to know because I need it to edit my next video.

[optmyst]

This REALLY helped - thanks, man!

[MissHarmonyStudios]

Is this final cut express or final cut pro or just... Final cut?

[edjedjedj1]

[ctownthrasher]

You can create as many layers as you want, right?

[DayDreamBeliever87]

Thank you! So many people post tutorials and you either can't hear what they are saying or they claim to be doing something for beginners and then skip ten steps. Very helpful, thanks!

[nyveggie]

Could you use the garbage matte with keyframes?

[JamieLProductions]

I don't personally know, but you should be able to.

[CleverNameStudios]

@nyveggie Yes

[corysfilmstuff]

[MultiFunproductions]

[freefallproductions3]

AWSOMMMMEE!!!!

[shiirleee]

Your awesome ;DD

[kimberlyashdown]

You ROCK!!!

[SuburbianKnights]

Why no just use after effects for the masking? ALOT easier

[squirrelguy7]

because some people dont have after effects cause their not rich

[TornTech]

some people dont have after effects because they're stupid. download it for free

[squirrelguy7]

well some people don't want to do stuff illegally

[Dnoman56]

after effects is easy it has the pen tool. this is for people who only have final cut.

[drumsticks94]

@Dnoman56 yeah i wish there was a pen tool for final cut

[mr1wimpy]

@Dnoman56

can i mask a person?

ive seen people use after affects but i only have imovie and final cut, is there any thing else that you know of that i can do with this? or do i only get thos basic shapes?

[TheFruitGuyFilms]

@Dnoman56 if you have the final cut studio you can do this easier in Motion... it has the "pen" tool similar to the one on After Effects

[K1ndaB0red]

Because from there you'd have to reexport, and there is near-zero timeline integration.

[UNDEADSECRETZ]

@SuburbianKnights because that cost more money!!! lol

[virtualvanilla]

@SuburbianKnights Some people can't get After Effects. Like me for example. So we need to know how to mask with this program.

[TheFruitGuyFilms]

@virtualvanilla you can use motion for a better and easier masking

[TheFruitGuyFilms]

@SuburbianKnights Motion has the pen tool

[NGMvids]

Where do you get those types of stock footage?

[miley4eva4499]

WOW! You seem to make the perfect tutorials at the most perfect times when I am in need!! Thanks so much! I would have never known how to do either! :]] You are a lifesaver! :]]

[nhmllr725]

thanks, i was trying to figure out how to do that
