Matting in final cut express is a huge pain... FCE doesn't have a pen tool like After Effects, but it does have bezzier (did I spell that right?) mattes. There is a plugin for a 50 point matte (I've used up to 16) that works great. However, for each individual point, you must turn it on, then place it in the desired position. It's like a really confusing pen tool. On the plus side, school is out, and my parents gave me a MacBook pro 15 inch (2.2ghz i7, 4gb RAM, intel hd graphics, amd radeon 6750m). This means editing and production time will b sped up. You can expect a video every two weeks or so from us during the summer.
