I needed to export a sequence of subtitles with an alpha channel with a Quicktime with the animation codec. I’m using PP CC 2017.01. Didn’t work. Found this thread and began to meander through it. I saw the suggestion to try 32 bit depth instead of 24 bit. That worked!!

From my experience, Ultra Key is a very good built-in keyer – if you’re pulling a very undemanding key. For me, the workflow required to use Keypoint in After Effects was a non-starter in my search for an additional keyer.
After fairly extensive testing of Primatte Keyer 5.1, Chroma Key Pro, Phyx and Hawaiki Keyer 2.0 I’ve decided that the latter (and oddly enough least expensive) works best for the keying problem I’m currently dealing with. Wispy blond hair. Not sayin’ my testing was “scientific” but I have found what I think is good solution.

I was at a workshop led by a couple of Adobe guys and I asked the same question as I was waiting for delivery of my new iMac Retina 5k. They suggested that a “best practice” is an external USB 3 drive. So that’s what I did. I use it for Previews, Media Caches, Autosaves, etc. I also render my final output to this drive.
BTW, I am noticing some weird behaviour with rendering. It seems to speed up and slow down drastically. Even on projects that are cuts only, no effects. I’ve got the faster processor and the faster graphics card and 32GB of RAM. My early 2009 MacPro with a CUDA card didn’t render much slower. But that’s strictly anecdotal, not scientifically measured 🙂

Just installed today’s update – PP 7.2.1. And… same issue. But I was experiencing one of the other bugs that they claim has been fixed. Maybe they’ll get to this after Christmas.

Just for the record, I’m on a Early 2009 MacPro 2.66 GHz Quad-Core, OS X 10.7.5. I have 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card. (Which I find a bit flaky.)

That’s scary. Do we think Adobe knows about this?

Have had the same problem since installing PP 7.2. Using “Queue” to launch AME 7.2.0.43 causes PP to crash. But I seem to have found a workaround. Launch AME in the finder rather than from within PP.

You left us hanging. What is the setting that you switched? I also have CS6 on a Mac with a Matrox MXO2LE.
Thanks,

I recently had the same problem but using CS6. I used Preference Manager to trash the preferences. It’s available for free from Digital Rebellion. It seemed to do the trick.

Oops. I thought you were referring to the HPX-300. It’s a DVCPRo HD and AVC-Intra camera. You’d think Panasonic differentiate a little better in the numbering of their cameras. In other words, my comment was totally irrelevant to your problem.
