Basic Keying Issue
I’ve been trying to colour key a couple of videos together. My source videos are two simple clips from a P&S digital camera. I’ve got my key set up and it looks okay, the problem is, when I render it, the videos slow down to about 50% of their speed.
If I key one of the videos onto a still background image, I have no problems, the clip plays at full speed. However, if I key together two motion images, I get the slowdown.
I hope I’ve explained this clearly enough…
Does anyone know a workaround?

It sounds like you aren’t RAM previewing your work… if you try and play with the spacebar, you will find almost ANYTHING is slow/not full frame rate. AE isn’t designed to run like that, it’s for working with more complex setups so isn’t optimised for basic playback.
If you don’t want to ram preview, you could reduce the display resolution (found at the bottom of your Comp window, it’s a pulldown menu with Full, Half, Quarter and Custom). Basically it reduces the resolution so previewing is quicker (it’s not destroying your actual work though, it will render fine at the end).
