Hi ... I have Final Cut Studio 5.1 and I am just beginning to scratch
the surface of its capability. One thing I played with a little is a
trick they do on America's Funniest Videos where they stick the hosts
face on top of existing video. His face is a still and it is placed
over the face of the person in the video. The picture "still" changes
when something happens in the video (e.g. gets hit in crotch) to
reflect his facial expression. I took a still into Adobe Photoshop and
cut the head off and made the background green. I then opened up a
video that I want to use in Motion and imported the picture. I then
added the chroma-keying filter and aligned the picture over the video
actor's face. This worked great, but when the person moves a little
the "still" face doesn't move with so I would have to add another
layer to scootch the "still" over a little on the video. Is there a
way in Motion or Final Cut to have the "still" anchor to the face in
the video so it moves around the screen?
Thanks,
Jay
