    You have to understand that you’re using AE to create a composition and then a rendered movie of a finite length.
    Individual layers can be set to loop as many times as you want within the duration of a composition.
    You’ll still be outputting a movie of finite length.
    Having that movie itself loop during playback outside of AE is a function of the end-use software media player app or hardware. For instance, you can set Quicktime Player to loop your clip. A hardware kiosk may also have that functionality. A web developer can code an embedded file to loop on a website as well.

    This should simplify the task.

    Yes, it does.

    [Max Jackson] “Just like pixel resolution 4-4-4 etc, right?”

    Not sure what you mean by that. If you’re referring to chroma subsampling, then no. The higher the value, the better for keying.
    There’s no relation between the two.

    [Max Jackson] “Noise can fight aliasing and value relatively the same way for luma or chroma, right?”

    Say wha…?

    Been trying it since this morning. Problematic, but much easier. I’ll let you know how it goes.

    Thanks for your effort, Brian. Unfortunately, it seems, changing the camera’s orientation destroys the project effect.
    If you turn off the grid and turn on the 3d layer, the image is no longer projected on the plane.
    Unless I inadvertently turned something off – but I think I double checked everything.

    Actually, Max, all you need to do in the future is avoid white cyc backgrounds all together. Go green screen next time, and most of these issues will vanish. Especially if you take Dave’s advice and shoot with a camera that does at least 4:2:2 color sampling.

    Sorry, it was late in Georgia too, and when I wrote Smart Blur I meant Fast Blur. You might also try the Matte Choker, as it has some additional softening control.

    If you’re still hitting a brick wall, you could post a full res grab of an unprocessed frame, and I’m sure someone here would be willing to play around with it and let you know what they come up with.
