Can FCx use black and white travel mattes to composite like the old travel matte luma composite mode could? Without layers, how does this work?
Also, if so, can one paste atributes between clips adjusting keyframes to duration?
Thanks
Can FCx use black and white travel mattes to composite like the old travel matte luma composite mode could?
Yes. The names, Stencil Alpha and Silhouette Alpha, and methods are different but effectively the same. The matte layer is top rather than underneath.
Without layers, how does this work?
Just stack the clips.
can one paste atributes between clips adjusting keyframes to duration?
Probably not, if I understand what you want.
I mean cmd-c of a clip, and alt-v to paste the attributes (resize, filters, levels or pan etc) of the copied dlip to the new one while scaling the keyframe info to match the duration of the destination clip.
Hmm, not even Flame or Smoke can do that, I'm sure!

You can copy and paste effects, but keyframes don't paste from effects.
Is there any way at all to copy/paste keyframes of any kind? Say, for instance, to apply animated scaling/cropping/moving attributes of one clip to another.
I think it's a manual operation in X.
Yikes. But good to know! I'll stop looking for something that isn't there, I guess.
Any ideas for workarounds? My issue is that after updating to 10.0.3, several of my PSD clips got all red-warningy and refuse to relink to the source files. So my only choice is to manually re-import the PSDs and then drag them onto the clips and replace the media. But the problem is that all the VERY time-consuming motion (as in keyframes, not software) work gets lost.
Any ideas? Is there a way to relink the media without losing the automation?
