Hello,I’m exporting from Avid to after effects not sure if you meant inverting luma key by swiching from key brighter areas to darker or the oposite, if this is what you meant then i tried both and it wont work if you mean invert as in filter (red to blue kind of thing then I haven’t tried that!!!

Ok, I Exported the matt and the fill, it wont work because if you set the luma key to brightness it will make the gaps that will expose the needed objects beneath but you still got the black area!!!! what they use for this effect I think is diffrence matt not luma key but you need an alpha channel for that, so we’re back at square one…
I used premier but it doesn’t have a preset for 1080i/50 but it has a preset for the rest of the HD, after searching the internet it turned out that there is plug in called cineform for premier… I used it and I can capture from it really nicely the only draw back is it creats really large files for HD (larger than Avid’s HD, secondly, every time you capture 10 seconds and stop cineform has to export the footage you captured frame by frame and it dose it so slowly… so 3 hourse will take something like 9-11 hours to capture if I’m not wrong and you have to be there every minute so your footage wont be something like 8GB for5 minutes.. -
Hello, firstly thank you for the quick reply, secondly sometimes you need someone normally a pro to tell you its not possible to believe youre not doing something wrong somewhere… secondly its so disappointing that avid can’t export alpha channels.
I’m going to list couple of things i tried today to solve this problem just in case anyone thinks they got the soloution and before they go and waste time doing what i did, I captured two minutes of HD 1080i/50 on a final cut pro mac machine today then exported the footage as pal qt then as HDV and as a tiff sequence, when I transfered the footage to my PC the pal export worked fine but the quality obviously isnt high as HD, the tiff was of high quality but I didn’t like the colour depth, the HDV didn’t work; i get a footage in ae that has the same size of hd 1920 by 1080 but of a white screen (no images) the same thing happense when i changed the extention of the raw footage I captured in final cut to .mov (captured as HD) this used to work with DV pal/ntsc
the funny part of this is when I tried to play the HD raw footage and the exported HD qt in almighty qt 7 player it crashed lol
there’s seems to be a flaw in the HD code, they shouldn’t really make a big fuss about HD when its still in this state…
I will try the soloution you suggested and in addition I downloaded adobe premier trial (it always seems the old way rules even with modern technologies)to see if I can capture in HD and edit in AE, will let you know in the next few days how its going..
thanx a million for your feed back.
