Well, to be honest, i’m not much of a “motion” guy! I don’t really know the program all that well and at the moment I was just trying to figure out any kind of way to make this work. The title was an after thought to a promo film that was already edited and the background footage was already cut and in the sequence, so I wasn’t sure on how to get just that small portion out, into motion, keyed, and back into Final Cut properly without messing up my timeline or degrading quality on the background track. I am mostly a Final Cut editor and don’t do alot of motion stuff, so i am slowly learning some motion attributes. the title was actually done by my AE designer in AE!

Man! That stinks, bro! Here is what I have found so far…
Background footage was shot on an AGHMC150 at 1280X720, 24fps, transferred using Apple Pro Res 422. The Keyed footage was done in after effects and exported at 1280X720, 24fps .mov format. The Sequence is 1280X720, 24fps Apple Pro Res 422. I have not exported anything yet. I am just trying to get the key to work with the footage first. Everytime I render the Chroma filter though, all the keying goes away??? I end up with a title that looks like the footage without a chroma filter on it at all, green background behind title. What’s weird is, I brought the key footage into motion, used the green/blue screen filter in there which turned the green into black background behind the title. Then exported it, brought it into Final Cut again, then Chroma keyed the black out and rendered. Voila! That worked!!! So basically if I try and key a green background out and then render it, it doesn’t work, but with a black background it does??? This is so frustrating. I can use the black keyed title slide, but it is MUCH less clean looking than when I do it with a green background. Also, I have chroma keyed images MANY times with other projects and never had this issue, so I brought an older project file into this project just to see what happens. This one works fine even with the green background. The only difference is the Key footage I am using from the older project file is a JPG image instead of a .mov file. I am really confused at this point???

Hey Chris,
I am having the EXACT same issue as you are! I have chroma keyed a title slide that is a quicktime .mov file on top of a scene I shot with my AGHMC150. When I chroma the title slide out and get all the settings to look just like I want, it’s fine. However, when I render the clip out, BOOM! the green background re-appears with the title slide and I no longer can see my background track. This totally sucks and I have tried EVERYTHING!!! Even un-installing some FX Factory plug-ins and cleaning up disk, restarting, etc… Nothing is working and I have chroma keyed numerous things before with no issue??? I have no idea what to do at this point??? If anyone can help us, it would be GREAT! -

Guys, I am trying to import my footage. I just recently purchased the AGHMC150. I did some test footage and then went to import it into FCE. I popped the SD card into my MacBook Pro, but nothing. It won’t read/recognize or import the footage from the card. I opened log and capture in FCE and nothing is even showing up, even though all the footage is playing fine on my camera. Any ideas???
