Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Keylight humming on edges

  • Keylight humming on edges

    Posted by Kevin Gonzales on September 3, 2010 at 11:46 pm

    I’m about to go nuts. Here is the down and dirty.

    • Greenscreen Footage shot on HPX 170 720P DVCPRO HD. Shutter at 60 (slow motion.)
    • Using After Effects CS4 on Mac Intel quad core
    • Using Keylight to key
    • Greenscreen lit well
    • Subject lit well

    Over all it looks good. Now when I apply keylight and try to fine tune the hair edge on the subject (talking head at desk) the hair edge is humming like a bitch. Persons Hair is not frizzy. The subjects arm and hands and upper body edges are looking good. Subject moves a bit but not much.

    Have tried a garbage mat that didn’t do anything
    Tried exporting the footage to 8 bit uncompressed and/also Animation from QT. Got the same results when reimported to AE and keyed.

    Is there another way to sharpen out these hair edges?
