Final Cut Tutorial: Creating Lightsabers, Keyframing Method
A tutorial of making lightsabers in fce4 using a lightsaber image. Here is the link to my video on creating the lightsaber image. www.youtube.com Important: This effect will not work with footage from the built in iSight camera, because the frame-rate is too low. Important #2: I have already discovered how to fix the keyframe problem in the time after I posted this video.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!

Any more insight or solutions with regards to the slipping keyframe issue? It’s driving me crazy. No matter how I move through the process I get the same frustrating results ever time, exactly as you described at the end of your vid.
I have that same problem on Final Cut Pro 5 !!!!
OMG that is a BIG dock!
You know the X that you have on the lightsaber image when it is selected? How do you get that? Because, it won’t let me move an image in final cut express. When i select it, it is only bordered in blue. How do I make it so I can move it and modify it?!?!
how do I get the keyframe?
go to wireframe
How do all these kids have way better skills than me in editing? And yes, that dock is huge.
click a the little menu in the video viewer, and select “image wireframe”
How did you fix the problem with the keyframes getting messed up.
how do you get the black background on finla cut express
you need a green screen then you key the green out without putting a backround behind it
I KNOW WHAT IM DOING TOMORROW
Thank you so much for your help!
Lol dude you explain everything else so well, better then most teachers would, but that whole part about the wire framing and actually getting the image in the timeline/video you kinda failed on and just skipped right through sayin anything about it:P
