No = Now

OK, I think I have it!

Make your red video the same as your green graphic except it will be in red. Put the green on top, the red next below it and the blue on the bottom. on the middle track (red) header right click and select insert envelop and composite level. This will place an envelop on the middle track that you can adjust the opacity from 100% down to nothing (disappear) over whatever time span you wish, or go from zero to 100%. This is effectively fading in and out the event you have placed on this track.

No insert a composite envelop on the top track and adjust it in the reverse of your middle track. You can adjust these to fade in then fade from one to the other and then both fade out is you like.

Then you can end up with the graphic exploding green to transitioning to red and then the graphic collapsing.

Or, you could fade in the green, transition to red, then fade out the red.

Or, you could add more layers and more fades and transitions using the envelopes, with the combination being almost endless, and only needing 1 render.

I’m not sure I have explained this clearly.

Hang in there with me, because I’m still confused as to what you want to happen with these videos!

If the red is the same shape as the green, then one is going to cover up the other, aren’t they? Unless you want to fade from one to the other something like the green graphic turning to red and maybe back to green on the blue background.

Try to explain this to me one more time please.

Hi Francois,

LOL…….I wasn’t beating myself up, but Thank You. Just pointing out I missed the obvious on this one!

I’m confused as to what your layer 3 is?

Place the green screen on the top track, and the background on the lower track. Set the chroma key and done. There is no third layer required.

You can have multiple green screens layered (or stacked) over the background, by placing them all above the background, in the order of appearance with the one that shows through everything on the top track, the one that shows over the background but behind the top track on track (2) below the top track, and finally the background on the bottom track (3).

Is this what you mean? If not please explain layer 3, Thank You.

That has tripped me up more than once, by error trying to use the ‘link’, and I guess I’m not doing it correctly either, or have forgotten how to, so just paste direct. Glad it is working for you now.

Hi Rick,

Try this……

Make sure your project properties are set for the video source you are using, not the still shots. Although your source is 4096×2160, select either 4K 16:9 24P 4096×2304 23.976 fps, or QFHD 24P 3840×2160 23.976 fps, then you can manual set the width and height to match your source if you like. Make sure the frame rate matches your source frame rate of 23.976 fps. If you are changing a project you already started select ‘Apply’ then ‘OK’.

Add your drone footage, then a couple still shots, which should be plenty high enough resolution to achieve good results in your 4K video.

Run your project in the Preview to check the quality and make sure your preview is set for ‘Best (full)’. If your system will not run the video footage smoothly, no problem move over to check the stills and see how they appear in the preview full screen. If they appear good (they should), then make a test render.

Go ahead and use the MainConcept AVC/AAC format and select the Internet 4K 2160p template, and select ‘Customize Template’. Now change everything to match here such as the width and height and frame rate, 4096×2160 and 23.976 fps to your project settings. make sure the ‘Allow source to adjust frame size’ is unchecked, as well as, the ‘Allow source to adjust frame rate’. Make sure ‘Field Order’ is set for ‘None (progressive scan)’. Go to the ‘Project’ tab and set the ‘Video rendering quality:’ to ‘Best’.

Now run the test render and check out the results. It should be very good. If so, you can then adjust your original project to all the test settings, render it out, again viewing it for quality, then upload to Youtube. You may have to wait a while before it is available for viewing in 4K on Youtube. There used to be a delay in 4K uploads before viewers could view in 4K, so you can view in 720 or 1080 immediately, but the 4K option was delayed by an hour or so, but I’m not sure if that is still the case.

Anyway, your stills should have plenty resolution to look fine in a 4K video or QFHD video. Hope this helps. If not we need to look at something else, like turning off ‘GPU acceleration of video processing:’ in the ‘Video’ tab of ‘Preferences’.

Best Regards…..George

Actually reading back through your thread, the hint of the problem was in your very first post and I missed it. I was getting there, but Francois beat me to it. Whenever we have a perfect preview and a lousy render (graphics messed up), it is often the GPU causing the problem and simply turning it off will produce the desired render. Rendering speed is then often the trad off. A GPU which is optimized in the application to provide faster rendering times and reliable quality is the best fix, but then it may be a cost issue to switch out the GPU and doing so may cause an issue with some other application. Glad you got it resolved and sorry it took so long.

Best Regards……George

I don’t have the specific answer, but if you just copy the youtube URL and then paste it directly in your post, it should embed.

Sorry about that, hope these work….
