  Keylight v DV Matte Pro?

  Posted by Martin Chambers on April 2, 2009 at 4:11 pm

  I’m using Keylight with a green screen chromakey and MPEG files from my FX1 (not a great idea, I know).
  Is DV Matte Pro for After FX worth considering?

  “If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following — Native HDV, MPEG1, MPEG2, mp4, m2t, H.261 or H.264 — you need to convert it to a different codec. “

  In this age of fake HD using every bogus codec under the sun, and every hobbyist on the planet “going HD” this needs to be a sticky comment at the top of this board. It comes up like 3 times a day…

  “you need to convert it to a different codec.”

  Good tip: I completely agree with your point and your explanation; however when you say “a different codec” would you please itemize, in order of preference, what code would be an ideal target?

  I’ll then put your answer on a sticky note on the edit bay!
