Using the Magnetic Mask as a Green Screen Keyer in FCP

10.7K views on YouTube

Today I’m going to show you how I use Final Cut Pro’s Magnetic Mask in place of the Green Screen Keyer. Even though the official word from Apple is that FCP’s Magnetic Mask is not a replacement for the chroma key, you can definitely do it, and I think it works even better. In this Final Cut Pro tutorial, I’ll show you step by step how I created a digital billboard for a client using the Magnetic Mask instead of the Green Screen Keyer
