Thnx for your reply,
I have included a screenshot? Don’t know why you don’t see it.
I am aware of Andrew Kramers Videocopilot and other tutorial sites.
However they have no solution for this problem.
I have done many projects, also similar ones… yet this is the first time it really is becoming a problem. I guess it has to do with the fact that there is no background footage to make the alpha gradient look smooth, but there has to be a solution to this. I also should mention that this only happens with subtle smoke with particles with an opacity of 1% and stock footage I have used with a transparancy of 8% because I need a smooth / subtle atmosphere. No hard smoke.
In the meantime I have re-ordered my compositions to exclude the smoke from the main colour correction, the curve crush seems to make it worse, but it is still not a reel solution.
If anyone has an idea I’ll be glad to hear it. 24 hours to deadline..
Thnx!
