Here is the link for my screenshot. I’m pretty new to uploading so please forgive if it doesn’t work right.

I have a photo as the background and several objects moving onto the screen. Everything is 3D. The objects have a slight extrude, 2 to 4, and I am trying to fly in with a Y axis rotation. I added a light to show the dimensions. A spot light. The materials of all the objects are correct, accept light, don’t emit light, accept shadows. But the light does nothing. I’ve changed its properties, moved it around, nothing. This is not the first time I’ve tried the light and I got nothing every time. The others were just for experiment, this one is for real.

Hi all, I swore I replied to this thread, but still learning the forum. Above is a link to my solution for the hair transparency and squiggly edges. It took a few days research and a few days to work through, but for a first attempt I’m ok with it. Now to replicate before I forget how, and expand from there. Any comments appreciated.

Thanx guys. I finally waded through it, it took a few days and lots of research. I created multiple layers for the problem areas and made my way through the Keylight options and added simple chokers, and chose a background that was a very close color scheme to the makeshift “blue screen” I had used, which was really a photo backdrop. The blue background won’t work every time of course but I got a lot of experience out of this one and if I keep doing them before I forget what I did this time I will get better at it.

I’m not sure about what a guideline layer is, but I’m uploading an image of my timeline, although I don’t see it. Apologies but I am new to the forum

Thanks Walter; I was wondering why there wasn’t an incremental saving system like with Premier. I was not aware of the save & increment

Hi John

Yes, I did try that but it won’t import either.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I usually use HD60i sequence. I am outputting to wmv. The system came from 1Beyond and I don’t know what type of I/O card it has. Since I posted this my capture deck went out, the firewire port stopped working. Also my Black Magic capture card stopped working. All that said, when I try to encode in CS5 the system locks up. Trying to output a simple wmv 1920×1080 square pixel, that gets it farther than anything else, but at 15% it all locks up.
