For me it’s look like just to be the “toggle pixel aspect ratio correction” preview in after effect, since dvcpro hd is not square pixel you have to use this preview mode to see the proper ratio in after effect on your square pixel computer screen, but is never look good!

Hope this help

You can achieve a look like this just by stabilizing your shot around the element you want to be steady.You’ll have to shot more wide then you want your final frame, because when you stabilize, the frame move to keep the element you chose in the center.Mocha for after effect is the tool you want for this.Check on there website for a tutorial on image stabilization.

When I use Keylight and i make a mask before I applied klight, klight just dont work!!!I have to apply klight then the mask…maybe on your side it make some other weird thing.And for the replace color, just use “source”.

What i like to do to color correct my keyed footage, is to track matte the original footage with the precomposed keylight setup, this way you have no problem with color.
