I tried the frame mix with the lower setting again ( I didn’t realize it was being pulled down) and shut off the pull down feature and it seems to be the best. Thanks for your help. I have another question for you. In premeire, I get audio on the playback, but non in AE. Is there a setting I’m supposed to have for playback?

I tried all those suggestions and still a problem. The footage is an interview and the problem areas are the eyes and mouth. When the subject blinks or talks, that’s when there are lines across the eyes or mouth. The best so far is with the interpret footage to off. Not pull down or up. When off, lines throughout the shot smooth out. The person also cleans up, but no setting has taken the eyes and mouth to smooth. Is there any way that when this is viewed on a “regular” television that the lines will go away?

It was shot in 29.97

Very cool effects. There are many different waveforms and sprectrum analyzers styles used for the audio visuals. Looks like they are taking those signals and using them for masks for the images. Lots going on…

Ogrus, this IS really a great website and the best info on the net for video. Why this thread has taken a turn for the worse is beyond me. You NEVER once mentioned anyting about reproducing cows and why this topic came up (cows vs. bulls) is rediculous. What you are doing is very creative and I’m sure there’s a way to do it, I’m sure Andrew Kramer would know. He’s very good! Good luck.
When it’s time for a bashing for stupidity, bash away, but when a creative mind out-thinks yours, it’s best to keep quite.

make sure you read through that manual…it’s not as easy as just taking the eyedropper and sampling the green, there can be a ton of adjustments for a good key.

Here’s the link to the manual for keylight

If you’ve been wondering why they’re giving you a hard time is because keying ins’t a simple thing…so get ready to bear down and get the noodle working.
LOL, this was a great thread…Dave, that was a riot!!! HAHA

I’m going through the same thing right now, and AE will only look at what needs rendering. To make your life easier though, preview the clip in quicktime to know roughly where you should start and stop, then open the clip in AE so it shows the entire clip in the timeline so you know where to slide the start and end bars. I’ve got a few seconds in hour long clips…it’s rough, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

By the way, thanks Kevin for your support…I really appreciate it!
I’m using the render que. I did my first run with quicktime animation, that was not as nice. The next run, I used the automatic preset which was “video for windows – lossless” that came out perfect.
This project means a lot to me…It’s a corporate presentation for my business. I shot it on a panasonic dvx100B. I’m using greenscreen, but I read an article yesterday about using Magic Bullet Suite first to clean up artifacts and deinterlace before keying to get better results. Would you recommend making it in 24 fps for a film look? I’ve never used it before.
The shots are inherently a little grainy, and they look much better if you shrink the shots…I’m toying with the idea of using director to embed the clip to purposly shrink the size so the user cant do a “full screen” on it. Do you know any other ways of making footage cleaner or is magic bullet suit the way to go? Don’t get me wrong, the shots are usable, well lit, but far from broadcast quality.

I tried rendering for quicktime animation and it was blurry. Then I tried “video for windows” and it came out clean. I seems you could spend a lifetime trying different rendering settings. Is video for windows usable for premiere? At this point, I’m almost wanting to do it all in AE and render it all out at once.
