Yes well done Mark, you reckon Apple may know of this situation.

Re: [FCP-L] Best way to Matte White Screen

Indeed, we are discussing Additive vs. Subtractive.

If I remember high school art class, although theoretically mixing all
colors creates black. In fact, it creates brown. That is why, I believe,
they need the K in CMYK. Mixing any two complements of colors (opposite
sides of the color wheel) create brown. Well, if you use all colors, you
have every color with its complement. Thus you are mixing brown and brown
and brown, etc.

It was something that always puzzled me.

Are we entering the world of Additive vs Subtractive? Depends on your point
of view, I expect.

Robin,
Since you're the first person I've heard say this, could you possibly
point me to somewhere else where this is 'technically' the case? In
other words, who says so?

Yours in curiosity,

Re: [FCP-L] Best way to Matte White Screen

You can often create a matte from the shot by pushing it to extremes. Remover all chroma from the shot, then crush the bottom end and blow out the top end until you end up with a pure black and white alpha.

This will only work if you have enough luma level difference between what you want to keep and what you want to lose that you can find the sweet spot. This is extremely simple with curves, maybe not so with the FCP color correction.

Re: [FCP-L] Re: Slightly OT: shooting NTSC for PAL conversion

Really Tony?
Where are you getting your "most material" from?
I've never had SD progressive sources in 10 years of UK broadcast...
and I also heard (and obviously you know more than me on this one)
that the Gadget Show is still shot interlaced...
Intrigued,
Taig

[FCP-L] Re: MPEG-2 Playback Component - Busted in QT10?

Apologies for replying to myself here, but I see what the problem is now. The component that seems to work, now installed in the System/Library, is named QuicktimeMPEG2.component; the old, pre-SL codec in the Volume/Library (with all the other add-on codecs) is named AppleMPEG2Codec.component. The latter no longer functions under SL, so I don't see how copying it from a pre-SL backup could possibly work.

Anyway, Streamclip is now happily handling .m2v and MPEG2 files in Snow Leopard.

It's in the Volume/Library; the Library that is used, however, is in the System/Library. For whatever reason, simply copying the old component into the correct Library didn't work; a new install was necessary.
