Re: [Avid-L2] Re: 7toX for Final Cut Pro

 

Sorry to ask the obvious, but Is the main viewer set to display at 100%?

On well shot greenscreen/bluescreen, it so far does a good job (even with DVCProHD source) certainly comparable to keylight and primatte. I don't even need to select a bg color, just apply keying effect and I'm done. I can see this being good as is for a lot of corporate work with fairly static body shots and such. I imagine I'd still have to go to After Effects for less than pristine keying, wispy hair, and more challenging bluescreen scenarios. etc. But I should do more testing to see where the FCPX keyer falls apart.

They should have left that niche to Avid. there are many other things that need improvement in X. Seems like a panic response to the negative "pro" reaction to the half-baked release of X last June.
