Chroma Key v Pleasantville

[David Bogie]

Hard to tell but this tip will save you tons of work and wasted processing:
Establish your chromakeying and get it perfect and then render the entire movie out using the Animation codec. Reimport it.

Now all you have to do is adjust it, edit it, or add additional effects like your colorization or chroma reduction. But you never have to key it again.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Thanks for the advice. I’ll take that into consideration going forward.

But for now my dilema remains the same. It does not explain why the background image is still becoming invisible. Can anyone explain why this is happening? And how I can resolve it?

Thanks again!

And how I can resolve it?< Some effects do not honor the alpha from previously created effects. Your solution is to nest or prerender or, since your current method isn't working, try something else. That might be something like, oh, I dunno, nesting or prerendering. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
