animate a gamma shift, that’s what expensive plugins do. Take some footage to use for TV light flicker, keyframe gamma shifts, then use a small opacity luma transfer to an adjustment layer and put over man. yay!

You might have image sequence settings wrong because flash only supports pre-multiplied and needs alpha channel- rgb+alpha. and there’s quality settings for image outputs like PNG(format options) which has a box for interlaced output for web viewing support.
By storing gamma information in an image, PNG’s can be transfered to mac back to pc whithout color problems, which makes me wonder why more people don’t use this fantastic image sequencer.
If those are correct, then the only other thing is keylight, update it or even try a demo of another keyer.

well, actually, if you capture with cineform software, it goes from inter to intraframe compression so AE won’t crash because it’s now all “I” frames. that’s why it costs a lot.

*I rendered out a clip of the chromakey (using no compression) without using lower-field-first. It looks fine.”
ok, here’s what’s up, when you render a betacam out with fields off or a psd, you’re rendering out a poor man’s deinterlace from AE’s built in deinterlacer. That’s why when you reimport it back into AE and try interpreting it with fields on, you get blur. Of coarse you do, you’re trying to deinterlace deinterlaced footage!
The quicktime codec might be giving you trouble. Try a different codec and render that out fields on. Chances are, you will then successfully import it back in and it won’t be blurry. Whenever I have a problem, I render out 10 seconds of a 4:4:4: RGB uncompressed avi. That fixes 99% of problems.

I would focus on layers, graphics, and text first. A lot of tutorials should still work for 5.5.

AE has a permanent hidden key in its registry me thinks. The uninstall probably did not remove that. or try deleting AE’s left over preference folder too after uninstall.
You could try duplicating the events on another computer with an older quicktime, and use ushampoo uninstaller that records every file, every registry key written to computer during AE install. snapshot before opening AE and then open it, see AE disable quicktime, snapshot after and see the new written key. You have found the problem!

even if you were 23.98 instead of 23.976 (the correct one) you shouldn’t be dropping 12 frames. The animation codec is a little buggy. If 24fps works and you want to keep using animation, then timeremap your audio. It should snap to the same end frame.

nulls might have to be hand tracked in some difficult parts or even use a new track location and offset new position. other options are virtualdub has a fantastic motion stabilizer, as does Mocha or Monet. but virtudaldub’s is free and has the same options as monet like stabilize zooms, pans, etc.

highlist the first and last frames of a single move to smooth, then hit easy ease or F9.
