    What I am trying to do is take some green screen footage of someone, and resize down the shot so the woman interviewed is shrunk down to a quarter size and placed in the corner while the video on the lower layer plays in the background.
    This would seem like it should be pretty simple right?
    Well, when I take the green screen interview, put a Spectramatte filter on it to remove the green, put an animatte on (to get out another bit of the background), and put a resize filter on top of all that (to resize the woman down and put her into the bottom left of the screen) then whenever I put any video in the track below all of this, it shrinks this video along with the green screen layer.
    I can’t figure out what is going on. I have tried everything. Please help!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Stephen,
    You do not need to use the resize effect, there is a scaling function built into SpectraMatte. Just scroll down to the bottom of the parameters and there is a group called scaling. You can also up promote the effect to 3D with a click of a little button at the very bottom right of the effect editor. This will give you most of the parameters that are associated with the 3D warp effect. Good Luck.
