    BCS Chroma Key Studio in FCP 7.0.3 – keyed image disappears after changes made to other tracks

    Posted by Maxwell Federman on February 15, 2012 at 5:22 pm

    its not super-easy to describe but here goes:

    I have a big FCP project with a lot of chroma key footage. The BCS Chroma Key Studio is a great tool and does a great job–

    –the problem is that once a sequence is rendered, any changes to that sequence (for instance, to change the size of a Title 3D graphic) results in the keyed image disappearing. At that point all I can do is delete the filter, re-render with the green, and then key it over again.

    Naturally this is no way to live. But the bundled keyer in FCP 7 is pretty much a joke, and I need the crop feature in the BCS Chroma Key filter on a handful of shots, so I hope there’s a solution.

    I have tried deleting both the FCP and Boris RED preference files.

    Any other ideas would be a HUGE help and I’d owe you personally!

    Hi Max,

    All I can suggest is that you reach out to one of our support guys as this issue that you describe isn’t something that I’ve heard about or encountered personally. You can reach them via email at support@borisfx.com.

    Cheers,

    Peter.

    No one responds at support@borisfx.com. Two days and counting for me.
