I’m not sure if I understand this right. Is this a still shot or a pic sequence? Is this also shot in daylight and you are trying to make it a night shot with lights flickering? Have you looked at possibilities in 32 bpc and then adding a glow, because the glow will punch up in 32 bpc. As far as your “window” comment you would have to most likely roto or mask out windows with a light feather and throw a regular glow on them so they will all look illuminated, but 32 bpc is your best bet as far as glowing frame(s). I just wanna understand everything that I asked and I’m sure with a picture it will become clearer. it seems like a fun seq. in AE. Put up your BG pix and make a comment so I can look once it’s posted.

Hello,
Do you have CS3 and did you tick on the “multiple processor” option in your preference setting?
If so, list what you’re workstations specs and I might be able to help. -
Thanks for the info, however, when I had Windows and CS2, it did show the preview until I pressed “capture”. Now that I paid a butt load of money for a Mac and CS3 it doesn’t have that option…very dissapointing.

Have you tried looking at an old tutorial on here? It’s AE tute with I believe O’Neil.

If your subject is to the side of the frame and is a close up, try a junk matte, which is a generic mask around your subject to minimize the BG (background) colors. If you can minimize it to one color (chalkboard), you’re good to go. Also, one thing that might help pulling the key is to bump up the “levels” on your footage, pre-comp the footage with your new levels, then keying out the green. Chalkboard green is really dull, hence suggesting bumping up levels. Once the key has been set, you can make a matte out of it by having the normal footage (the unmodified levels footage) replace it. All in all, it would be nice to take a frame and post it for more specific help.
