Keylight Edges in AE 7.0

[Justin Productions]

Are your comp settings exactly the same as in AE 7.0? Square Pixels?
Keying settings too? That looks like a Pre-blur thing.

All the settings are the same, in fact, I opened the 6.0 file in AE 7, so nothing changed.
I have also encountered this in a project I started in 7.0, so I don’t think its an
‘opening a 6.0 file in 7.0’ kind of thing.

The problem is only in the edges, not within confines of the keyed image, so I
don’t suspect AE’s 3:2 pulldown removal.

I’ll look into the pre-blur defaults for Keylight. Maybe those are different in AE7.

Hi Scott,

It does indeed sound like a pre-blur issue; if you don’t have any luck with looking into this, perhaps you could shoot a copy of the original uncompressed footage along with the AE6 project over to support at thefoundry.co.uk so we can have a look?

Cheers

I think I have isolated the problem to the BlackMagic CODEC.
BlackMagic footage keys fine in AE6, but has the edge problem in AE7.

I will send a test file to you at the Foundry.
