  • AE alpha FLV export, black colors shakey

    Posted by Janine Feeney on January 12, 2010 at 5:58 pm

    Hi, trying to figure out why the black colors (like in a business suit), look shakey or noisy on some monitors. I am exporting as alpha channel FLV in AE CS4, and i’m using effects such as curves, keylight, unsharp mask, color balance, matte choker and smart blur.

    It only seems to look shakey or ” not all there” on the black colors on a regular monitor…

    Thanks for your help.

    Hmm… I ran into a similar problems to this myself, only difference is I did the the keying on FCP (but still with Keylight) instead of AE, but that shouldn’t make too big of a difference.

    Make sure you have screen replace set to “Source” or if that brings in too much green, “Hard Colour”
    If your still having issues, something that I did once was to use the color corrector to make the blacks extra dark so it made for a more uniform key. Be careful with your balance though, and that increasing the blacks doesn’t effect other parts of your subject negatively.

    Hope I could help.
