You have the best chroma key video out there for this product. Can I key out other colors? Multiple colors? No color dropper selector? Is it a rumor that there is no garbage matte? Any input before I purchase this product will be much appreciated.
Hey man, this is most in depth FCPX green screen tutorial I have found. Thank you for posting it. I wish we could have seen you use the edge tool effectively. I am still a bit at a loss for what it does to help.
@1wordpro Thanks Grant (did I hear your name right?). I'm okay with the non-compatibility. As long as the tools are all there. I suppose it will be difficult for editors, but nothing is stopping them from using previous versions for now. Anyway, you answered my questions and I agree that Apple's approach was abrupt. Turns out you can build your own advanced garbage matte template with Motion 5; as well as other complex effects/filters. This sounds like a big plus. I'll probably get it.
Hi Bamidele. Green is used because skin-tone has very little green color in it. The movie Mary Poppins used a key based on Orange. Any color can be used, but making a clean key requires a difference in color between the subject and background. Blue works too, but people wear lots of blue colored clothing.
@XxProjectLegoxX That is probably because there is so much black in the subject. (even though it might not look like black black tones) Which is why they have found that bright green (or blue) they use is not found in most subjects.
Respond to this video... 3. Purchasing, well I now understand why they didn't make it compatible with the older versions. The timeline is so different. Its a real adjustment. I found it can do almost everything the old could do yet it is so much better in many ways. But the adjustment is killer if you are coming off the old versions. I'm glad I bought it and think apple is going it the right direction but going about it the wrong way.
Is it the audio or maybe just my ear phones + would u be able to make whe 2nd subject that you put in clear and the 1st subject that u put in blury during the movie
Well i purchased a 10x12 Green screen yesterday. I am a first time user. Ive been reading up a lot. The only thing I'm really confused about is where to get my (generators/background) not sure what its called but my back ground where do i get those from the moving ones? Besides the ones i already have in Final Cut Pro X
@qigong1001 1. Color selection is done with the color sample. what ever you choose it will key. 2. there is a 4 point mask and I used it once, tried to get some info on it but ended up just playing with it a bit. i was able to get it to get rid of a corner section i wanted to remove so you can make it more than a square. I need to work with it some more. see next post on purchase thoughts
@1wordpro - What do you mean by color sample? Where can I change the color of what I want to key out? I've tried keying out black, but it keys the subject...
+Bamidele Awofodu Red cloth would be horrible because we have a lot of red in our complexions. The true best color is green because it is the furthest away from skin color. Blue is good too.
Just a thought for your next video...please try to be more concise. You could have said and done everything that you did in half the time. (just a thought...)

Looks pretty sweet. If you tweak your color a bit. (on you) Play with the exposure & saturation. It will help it to blend better.

Thanks for the tutorial, you were able to clearly explain how to use chroma key in FCPX.

Is it possible to use masks to make areas that are not solid solid? Or the other way around? Great video, and thanks.

exhaustively explained, thank you

FCPX has gone through a ton of revision since this was made but the concepts are still good.
good stuff but one question I have is how do you add special effects with this?
Thanks Grant - great tutorial!! :)

This was really helpful, thank you!
@1wordpro No, the subject is white. I ran a test. It will key the white instead of the black... How do I change the color of what I key?

it only green cloth can be used for chroma key only. what about red cloth shooting with it.
