    There is a preset in I believe either the backgrounds or synthetic catgeory that will get you pretty close to this. I would use that as a starting point.

    I would bring up the task manager when trying to play the ram preview to see what is going on with system resources.

    I would perform the chroma key, then precompose that layer, selecting to move all into the precomp(option in precomp dialog box).

    Next, I would use the good old instant sex method of Trish and Chris Meyer….that is, duplicate the precomp, on the top layer add Gaussian blur (10-15), Now use a transfer mode on the top layer…I like soft light, but it really depends on what works for the shot…Now you will want to precomp those two layers, so as not to affect the underlying layers while you perform color correction on this layer (obviously the transfer mode will affect the color correction of your original media).

    This method should enable you to soften out the image, without making it too blurry….

    If you have the Production bundle from Adobe, then I would not render, but rather use the Dynamic link and let Encore do the rendering… If you do not, then I would try and render back to the original codec that the footage was captured in.

    BCC has a filter for this…I believe it is called motion key, but I am not sure that it would work in your situation…I would check it out on the Boris website…I know there is a tutorial and example.

    September 19, 2008 at 10:31 am in reply to: Rotoscoping or painting?

    If the light is much stronger than everything else in the scene, you could try a luma key. This will naturally create a hole in the TV…under that hole, I would place a duplicate of the original footage, but I would move the position of the footage so that it is a part of the screen that is unaffected by the light that show through the hole.

    If the light is not the strongest part of the scene, then I would probably do this with paint rather than rotoscoping….you could use the clone paint tool on a frame by frame basis.

    hope this helps

    September 19, 2008 at 10:25 am in reply to: Transferring project from Sony Xpri to Avid MC

    I don’t know XPRI, but if you want a print of bins, you can save them as an EDL (drop all clips onto a timeline and export EDL), then simply open the EDL in wordpad and print….possibly and EDL could get the project across applications, but of course you will be recapturing.

    Hope this helps

    September 19, 2008 at 10:21 am in reply to: Re: New Quicktime update 7.5.5 … any known issues?

    If you read the read me from Avid, it states that the correct version of QT for MC3 is 7.4.5 here is the link for that readme https://tiny.cc/vp6Qx

    I always make sure that I have the Avid certified version of QT on my machine. I am not sure that this is the cause of your problems, but I would go back to that version…I would also make sure that I have the correct Nvidia driver.
