 SCREEN CAP MATTE?
I have a scene that has been shot locked-off.
The thing is there is a wire on a wall that I want to remove. I am considering exporting a "Sequence- jpeg" frame into Photoshop CS2 then clone stamping it out.
Now to my question...
How can I create a layer over the top of the original sequence and use the image as a matte over the top of the scene?
Is this something I can do in Motion or should I consider using FCP?
What will I have to conider for this?
Thank you for assisting me with this challenge.
I appreciate it.

Re: SCREEN CAP MATTE?
Hi Scaramouche
this task would be easy to perform in Motion.
I suggest exporting the still frame from your FCP sequence in Photoshop format.
Import your Photoshop modified still image into Motion
and use anything from an image mask to a Photoshop generated alpha mask to matte it to your background vision inside Motion. For a complete answer please detail
the version of Motion and FCP you are using and the video format. And a little detail on exactly what you are trying to achieve...

Re: SCREEN CAP MATTE?
The scene format is DV PAL 720 x 576.
It has been altered to ASPECT 2:35:1 using the Widescreen Matte Effect option.
In the scene I have two people sitting in a cafe having a conversation. Visually, everything is where it should be for the composition except there is a electrical wire (one from a light we used to light the scene) scrawled up a wall and it ruins the image but I know that somehow in Motion it's easily fixed- however- until now I've not really ventured into this territory- my skill set is still basic/intermediate (in-development) so if you could give me some detail as to how its done I'd be very appreciative.
I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.
I'm using Motion 2.
I have Photoshop CS 2.
Thanks very much.
ps- I haven't had internet access until now!
