thanks again Steve…I now recall reading about guide layers when I first got 6.5 but I’ve slept several times since than and an amount of beer has been consumed….recall isn’t what it was.

I’ll read those notes up as a refresher.

take care

Roger

[Roger Burton]

[Roger Burton]

Thanks Scott…I’ll contact the foundry…Roger

[Roger Burton]

Thanks Bear…yep there are a load of issues here … I’ll have a close look bearing in mind your comments…Roger

[Roger Burton]

Thanks John and Jon I’ll try both (that’s if the Co. I work for will shell out for the CS2 ugrade…’cause I really only use Illustrator for Zaxwerks) ! thanks again…Roger

[Roger Burton]

that makes sens…thanks Bill

[Roger Burton]

Thanks for getting back Bill…yeah I tried de-interlacing but the slight softening was of concern…and you left some of the shadows when keying out the green screen ?…that’s interesting …regards…Roger

[Roger Burton]

This is really nice Bill…I’ve been working on something similar but am encountering some interlacing problems when scaling and moving the cut-out talent around the ‘set’ (I can’t ‘shoot’ progressive so can you (or anyone else) suggest the best solution to this problem please…and are the shadows from the light in 3d or did you cheat them ?…again my ‘virtual’ set is a 2-d layer and I’m trying (for various reasons) to avoid getting into 3-d for this particular project (eg these are for a news item and turn-around speed is v important so I can’t risk long renders) though I’ve tried duplicating the subject…making it 3-d layiing it down on the floor blurring etc but am gettiong some strange results…thanks again for showing us that…regards…Roger

[Roger Burton]

Thanks chaps…I’ve tried it and the tutorials but I find that they tend to show how to pull a good key from the ‘supplied’ footage but the descriptions of the functions were not so good…maybe I’m just not good at absorbing that stuff…i just remember understanding the way the meyer’s book explained the earlier keyers…many thanks

Roger

[Roger Burton]

Thanks for that John…I’ll work my way through it…and great offer The Gare but i really need to get my head around this myself….regards…Roger
