PPCC output via Media Encoder problems

[Jon Grimson]

I think UltraKey works just as well in Premiere as it does in After Effects. Some were saying it works better in AE but I couldn’t see a difference. The fact that it works fast and well (supposedly) in PPCC means one less step and workflow.

Luckily my problem was solved because I was working in conjunction with an AE guy who was supposed to do the heavy lifting in terms on compositing on the project, so he did all the keying in AE.
Still, Premiere CC has been running very smoothly the last couple of days since I reverted back to version 7.0.1. One of the bugs that got fixed in later versions, I believe, had to do with multicam editing, which I don’t regularly use. So I’m happy as a clam now since all the hassles I’ve experienced with 7.2 since mid-December have gone away.
Here’s the link with instructions on reverting:

A very helpful guy gave me instructions to revert to 7.1, but a couple of links seemed faulty, so you might try that one instead. And beware of doing updates today, since the CC Downloader seems to be down this morning.

Same here.

If you learn and tweak every aspect possible, the final result is excellent.

And being able to play it in realtime, unrendered showing the alpha channel
only blew my mind the first time I did that.
