Think I figured it out. I created my graphic incorrectly in After Effects. Thanks for the help.

My Sequence Settings are NTSC/DV 3:2 720 x 480 Pixel Aspect Ratio CCIR 601/NTSC.
When I turn Pixel Aspect Correction on for the Canvas, everything get a little squeezed, but looks correct on my external NTSC monitor.Joey Foreman

Thanks. That’s been my standard workflow for years. Like I said, this is a weird new mystery. In Compressor I used the Best Quality, 90 min. preset. SD DVD in DVDSP, 4:3 track.

Combine a mesh warp with a dissolve?

I’ll just reiterate what I said in an earlier post. Studio Techniques is an excellent guide to advanced compositing in AE, but it is not for beginners, doesn’t cover the basics, and doesn’t deal with motion graphics at all.

SynthEyes is a good 3d tracker for around $400.00
But I still think a planar tracker could work. They do track position, rotation, and scale – as well as corner pinning.
The trick is just having good track points to begin with.
And don’t forget that any of these applications can be demoed for free.Joey Foreman

What if you click the Lock on the comp window first, as well as the always preview this comp button on the timeline 1st?

Neither, it’s a preset on the HVX. The green needs to be pure and manufactured specifically for this type of work. Rosco is a good brand. There are tons of resources for greenscreen basics on the web. I hope your DP has some experience in this area.

Basically it adds too much sharpening and crushes the blacks.
The sharpening leaves a lot of hard to clean up artifacting and the crushed blacks leave dark edge halo-ing and make stray shadows harder to key out. It’s also really contrasty which makes color correction/enhancement harder, and it’s noisy. The HVX is a very noisy (grainy) camera in general, and Keylight’s automatic spill suppression really brings out the sizzle. But there are techniques to deal with that.
I don’t know what sort of lighting configuration you’ll have but if you’re using Kinos the Fluo setting works very well.Joey Foreman
