Hmmm,
restarted the program and now the clips are all there.
Thats weird, its things like this that make me nervous about choosing this software to work with, considering im just embarking on a feature film project…
Anyone had a similar issue?

Hey Paul,
Yeah i figured that was a typo but i did actually have the layer switched on and another one in the wrong stacking order.
I’ll take a look at the tutorial now,
Thanks alot for your insight,
Dustin

Hey Mate,
Yeah your right thats exactly what i had done wrong.
I set the blending mode to the wrong layer and had it switched on…duh.
The clouds didnt quite look right so i decided to go for a grey solid (as all the other footage we shot was on an overcast day so i am trying to match it up as this shot has a bright blue sky) and it worked much better, however there are a few stray blue pixels around the edges of the trees.
I used a luma matte and coverted the car shot into a black and white image to define the transparency but there were still a few stray white pixels floating around in different parts.
Any suggestions on an easy way to soften the matte a bit?, im using the “dissolve” blending mode.
Thanks alot,
Dustin.
