Rendering screws it up!
I have some interviews that I shot with a Sony V1U HDV 30p. I imported the footage as prores. Very suprisingly, I was able to pull a decent key in FCP using the Boris Key filter. The key looks great, but once I render, it looks AWEFUL!
I’m on an uncompressed 8-bit timeline. Does anyone know why rendering makes it look so bad?

you need to be working in a ProRes timeline. Timelines should generally match your footage exactly. give that a whirl

My mistake…I am working on a prores timeline.

What version of Boris do you have? I have some problems with keying and an upgrade patch solved it.

Oh, and another thing, try putting the 422 chroma smoother on (I know it doesn’t make sense) but that worked as well.

I’m pretty sure I have version 5, but I’m not positive.
How do I put on the 422 chroma smoother?

It’s a separate filter located in the effects > Key folder. Put it on top of the BCC keyer in the filter stack. If you have BCC5, make sure to upgrade to 5.0.4 or whatever that latest patch is.
