David and Angie thank you both.

Angie, it worked, but do you know how to show the animation path? I’m tyring to animate them a little differently each as you suggested. And I know how to add position keyframes, but i don’t see the animation path.

Hi Dave,

I very much appreciate your continued help. Yes, I did read your instructions very carefully and did everything exactly as you outlined. But I’m still getting this terrible noise in the picture. I shot the green screen scene with a Panasonic AF100 but going out to an Atomos Samurai as Pro Res HQ.

I believe I lit the scene well and evenly. I checked everything with the AF100’s waveform monitor to ensure a flat thin line at around 50 IRE.

I’m sure it’s something I’m still doing wrong somewhere down the line.

And again, I very much appreciate the time you’ve taken to help me.

OK, upon closer examination it looks like the noise appears only where the matte is semi-transparent, semi opaque…over the subject’s hair and especially close to the edges of her hair.

Hi Dave,

I tried both methods that you suggested and I’m still seeing nearly just as much noise as before and whether or not I delete Keylight from the upper layer, doesn’t seem to make any difference even though the lower layer is set to “alpha matte”. I’m really stumped.

Hi Dave,

Thanks very much. It looks like a number of people had problems viewing those clips I posted in my public dropbox folder. Will sign up with yousendit.com and notify you shortly.

Thanks again very much for your that tip.

Hi Ian,

Thanks very much for your help. Actually I tried that, but the frame counter is showing me moving one frame at a time even though I’m actually doing that. Instead the frame counter on the timeline reads: 1…3…5…8…11…13…15…18. Really weird, that’s why I’m wondering if it’s just another bug that will hopefully soon be addressed.

Hello everyone.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I tried every option:
• Digital Cinema Desktop_Main
• Digital Cinema Desktop
• Digital Cinema Desktop_Full Screen
• Digital Cinema Desktop_Raw

Not sure what the purpose of “Digital Cinema Desktop” and “Digital Cinema Desktop_Raw” are.
I know that “Main” is the just initial screen.

But what’s happening is that if I select “Digital Cinema Desktop_Full Screen” and then go into my A/V Prefs and uncheck “Mirror on Desktop”, the video then freezes on both monitors. I can hear audio, but video stops moving on both screens. Will try it with a broadcast monitor. But I don’t understand why unchecking “MIrror on Desktop” would cause the video to no longer play, just the audio plays.

[Nick Natteau]

Hello and thanks for replying. I tried that and it didn’t change anything. I agree that it’s not an ideal solution because I truly need a broadcast monitor.

I just wish I could have the video not play back on the main screen while it plays on the second cinema screen. Do you have any idea why it doesn’t do that? Is it because it’s seeing the second apple monitor as just an extension of the main screen?

Thanks again.

Correct, I’m running Lion 10.7.2.

Is there a way to get OS Lion to stop displaying this window?

Thanks very much in advance.
