Didn’t have much luck at first with trying to key in Fusion, but I need to get deeper into it. I’m sure something good is possible if I learn more. Also, all of this is making me realize that better green screen lighting/a cleaner separation in-camera would go a long way in speeding up my workflow here.

Hey guys, thanks for giving this some thought for me.

Michael – I haven’t tried to key the footage in Fusion. So far, I’ve tried and failed to get a good key in the color page, and I’m comparing those results to using Red Giant’s Primatte Keyer in Premiere.

I’m still fairly new to Resolve – are the keying possibilities much greater in Fusion than in the color panel? I wish I could use the Red Giant VFX plugins in Resolve, because so many of my issues would be solved.

Marc – For sure, staying in Resolve has become my goal based on this feedback. Keeps things simple.

Glenn – Thanks for getting me to look into the dual mic – if it’s possible on the 4k, it has to be possible on the 6k. That would save me a lot of time right away.

Thanks for the reply Angelo.
Now that I think of it, the footage I’m working with is an “MPEG-2” format that Speedgrade doesn’t display, so I’ve been rendering bits to MOV files and making my Speedgrade looks from those.
I would chalk it up to this, but what’s strange is the issue seems to come and go, and even when it happens, it’s only on some clips. Right now all looks are displaying the same, even though the problem remained through a couple re-starts.

My hardware (MBP) is almost brand new, so I doubt that’s part of the problem.

Someone posted about this to the Adobe forums in July as well, but didn’t get any responses.
Hoping for smooth sailing when the direct Speedgrade-Premiere integration arrives on 10/15.
