yes that tutorial.

the client shot on HDdvcPro and it’s full of grain hence i’m getting bad edges. and before you say it….no….they can’t shoot it all again!!!!!!!! 🙂

sorry to be so confusing!

basically i am trying to do greenscreening. i’ve tried with keylight and all the keyers in AE but none of them give me a good key…i get lots of jagged edges that aren’t smooth. i’ve tried softening but you have to soften sooooo much to get a good edge that i’m losing to much footage!

so i thought i’d try a different way to create a matte that i could use for the composite. this is where i thought the sin city effect might come in usefull. i have taken my footage and made it black and white except for the greenscreen, which i have left a bright green. is there any way i can use this footage as some kind of luma/sat/hue matte with my original footage to get a good composite?

hope i’v made a bit more sense now!

wow! sorry for my late reply! there’s nothing like being given a million jobs to do at once!….ahhh the life of an AE user!

i’ve managed to piece together a few bits here and there but if you do get a chance to piece something together let me know. in the mean time ill try all your ideas!

thanks for getting back to me.

i tried making the line chart 4 times the size of my comp but it still pixelates.

Also unfortunately the grid option wont work as i need the line to randomly go up and down.

So i guess I’ll try illustrator (even though i’ve never used it before – eek!) and see where i get and let you guys know.

Thanks

Amelia
