“Cannot create 720 x 480 buffer”
Hello, AE experts:
I shot footage in 16:9 against a green screen on mini DV. I captured into Windows Movie Maker. Then I imported into AE 7.0. Two serious problems are occuring: first, the top half of the image shows the right footage, but the bottom half of the image shows footage from another part of the capture. So I have two things going on at the same time when the footage is running.In the second place, I keep getting the image, “AE error: could not create a 720 x 480 buffer.” What can I do to fix these two problems? HELP! It is for a school project due very soon and I am in a bind.

I should add that this problem is enhanced by the use of keylight. When I apply keylight, the bottom half of the footage simply disappears, it becomes black, and I am left with the top half of the footage (the keylight plugin works, at least).
What is going on?

When you say a different part of the capture. Are we talking minutes/seconds. Or are we talking frames? Possibly footage interpretation?
Your capturing green screen using mini-dv and capturing in movie maker?
Your already starting with limitations. Try to eliminate movie maker out of the equation. Keying green screen with Mini-DV is a challenge in it self.Possibly corrupt capture? What does your footage look like when it’s previewed in another app? Maybe recapture using a different program? Window’s Movie maker isn’t necessarily the best option.

I’ve had a similar problem, it’s not a problem with the footage. I sympathize with you, it’s really frustrating.

Try recapturing in Premiere Pro.
What wrapper and codec did you save it to when you captured it? Did you view it when you captured it? Was it only like that after you saved it out of movie maker? If you bring it back into movie maker is it still broken?
