Sorry to bump but I still can’t work it out.

November 1, 2013 at 9:45 am in reply to: Youtube thumbnail problem! Videos from Avid.

I’ve thought about using Sorenson but I’ve got nearly 1500 of these videos and I’m working on a tight deadline as it is. But that may just have to be the route I go down (if it works at all).

Custom thumbails may be the other route, but that too will be a pain in the arse because the photos we have arn’t the recommend 1280×720 and they would have to be redone (The photos have the backgrounds edited out).

I cant seem to find any info on this error, it’s got me stumped, I’ve started a post in Youtube support but if that doesnt work then I have no idea what to do.

Could it be anything to do with colour spaces? or RGB/Yuv? I don’t really delve too deep in that side of editing but I know my avid videos arn’t RGB because I needed to up the background colour (via gain) to values of 255 rather than 235 to look as white as possible…maybe thats it?

Im pretty sure it’s in full quality (how do you check? im in MC6).

As for the others, thanks for the replies, my first thing to do was try a blur but it didnt come out amazing, would it be better to work in after effects?

Keying is an interesting option, but with the movement of the model shadows are created on the mat and I’m not sure if it will key correctly. But I will give this a go.

Is there a way to mask an area on the mat, and then reduce the red and somehow turn it to blue? (if you could tell me the exact effect or color correction tool that’d be great:D)

For the record I only have Media composer 6, no extra plug-ins, symphony etc on this computer, but I do have after effects.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I think the problem was with using too many strokes on certain clips.

I wont be able to use a solid because of uneven lighting, but using Walters idea, I can just save the areas which are cloned as a frame and just use a jpg as a plate – which surely will be much faster to render. Most of the time there is no action in that area so I should be fine.

Cant believe I didn’t think to do that, cheers guys.
