Finalize the key
Quite often your foreground image will have objects that you don’t want to appear in
the composited output. These could be production items like microphone booms and
light stands or the edges of the chroma key backdrop. Additionally, you might need to
resize or reposition the foreground object to better t with the background. As a nal
step, you can use the color corrector to adjust the foreground so that it matches the
look of the background.
Final Cut Pro includes eects that you can use for these purposes.

the color you want to remove) you want to key over the background, and choose
Edit > Connect to Primary Storyline (or press Q).
