Hi there,

I’m also pretty new to AE, and might not be the best source of information, however I am getting better at green screen keying. I was running into the same problem with shadows and as Kevin said it’s mostly lighting. I think we might be using the same “green screen”. I found that shooting outside in daylight has given me great results with my DV cam. You can get a good key with DV cams, I do. As far as tutorials go, I would highly recommend videocopilot.net that’s where I got started. I try to screen record some of my attempts as a source of reference, in case I get stuck, I can send you a copy of my green screen “tutorial” if you like.

Thanks for the reply, this was my first try at footage longer than 600 frames, the project has 1697 frames but was only rendering 750 frames clean, i guess the solution would be to edit clips shorter than 750 frames if i want a steady playback.

Thanks Again

I having a problem getting past the 25 second mark in the RAM preview, it hits the 25 second mark and then loops back to the begining of the comp. when that happens and I play the timeline, it hangs up after the 25 second mark. I’m using a Dual Core 2.3 ghz, 2 gig ram.

Well, I do the RAM preview, but it only renders the first 25 seconds and then loops back to the begining, and when I do a time line view I get hung up after the 25 second point. I’m not sure if it’s a setting, because I didn’t have this problem in AE 6.5

I don’t have the production bundle, just Photoshop
