    Hey guys – thanks so much for the input! Can’t believe that i should have keylight! Dont do a lot of keying but that would be super useful. I’m on AE7 so should be included yeh? Have to look into that.

    Ben – i think i love you. Dont know why i hadnt thought of using the colour channel and worked brilliantly ta!

    ((For some reason in the change colour effect, changing the lightness value doesnt seem to work? Havnt used this effect before so i may have the wrong settings or something, but i feel like ive tried every combo with no success))

    Cheers!

    Thanks… but its really dodgy quality and pretty much impossible to pull a decent key because its a motion capture of a 3d character from a tv screen (had an actor act for a 3d virtual puppet). A lot of the time the character is just going to be on a black background, hence the need to have the stroke black. I’ve feathered it heaps so its more like a glow. Any way of making that green black??

    Ta!

    Thanks for that guys – yeh no big drama – have given them the AVIs but was sending nice compressed WMVs for review purposes – hence the confusion when they got the AVIs and they didnt look the same. Was wondering if there might be a setting or something in Windows Media Player to make it play correctly, but guess its just one of those things.

    That would be a good idea to pop it into a 1024×576 comp if i had to give an avi for review, but wmvs seem to be working for me in that department.

    Cheers!

    Ahh thanks – i dont think you understand my question. I totally understand the pixel aspect ratio deal. This is a job to be shown on widescreen tv – we’re supplying a looping dvd and the client also wants the animations as uncompressed avi’s, to be spliced into other sequences. Obviously when they viewed the avi’s on their computer (which is not how they are going to be used! they looked squashed.) I’m simply wondering why windows media player will play a wmv at the correct ratio but play an avi squashed. ta

    Thanks for that 🙂 so… other render formats such as WMVs play at correct 16:9 size in those players becuase they are encoded? (ie not uncompressed??) Just trying to get this all clear as have to explain to client. Thanks agian x

    Okay prob solved by adding anither second of black at the end of the animation so that it just jumps back to black rather than the fade out. But i’d still love to know if anyone had any ideas on why it might be doing this?

    CHEERS!

    Actually it definately flicks about half a second back and fades out again. mmmm

    Ahh i get – can just download the project file – thats awesome Thanks!! I guess the thing is just to tweak colour/ contrast/ saturation etc for each piece of video – and shifts in lighting require slightly diff settings – nice one on figuring out a way of doing it all in ae!
