    LMAO, comical responses sir.

    20+ GB for a 10 second video file is absolutely absurd. If you think thats reasonable then you’re fooling yourself.

    Have you ever actually worked off of an SSD?
    Im not arguing that the HDD is bad storage, or that i wont be able to store my files…
    but why the hell would i pay to downgrade from my current SSD to a cheap, slow as hell HDD?
    HDD’s are just incredibly slow in comparison, they have greater failure rates and a horrible life expectancy, awful heat dissipation that will hinder its quality over time as well as draw unnecessary amounts of power, and are just a terrible investment when considering the other, indisputably better option in an SSD.
    SSD’S boots faster, launch and run apps faster, and transfers files faster. Something that is crucial when it comes to a job like this. This is simple fact, and to think you would suggest i buy an HDD and think that is a reasonable fix to this problem is laughable.

    Please move along.

    I can understand that you may have had a different experience, however in this case the results im getting form using keylight in AE are absolutely terrible regardless of how much tinkering i do with the settings. In PPro i can use ultrakey with little to no tinkering in the parameters and my footage is flawlessly keyed. So no, clearly keylight does not work much better than ultrakey.

    1. 20 GB per video file when i need space for about 35X 20GB files? You dont think thats excessive?

    2. A 2TB HDD is nowhere near as fast/efficient as its SDD equivalent. Thats why theyre so cheap, because theyre slow as hell and are awful for this type of work.

    As i have said already, keylight in AE is giving me absolutely terrible key results regardless of how much i play with and attempt to adjust the settings. Literally abysmal results. The ultrakey tool in premiere gives me fantastic results with little to no tinkering. Though my main composition in which i need the footage to go in is an after effects file. I cannot simply do it all in after effects if the keying results using keylight are trash.

    However it doesn’t matter, as i figured out i can simply save each file as a premiere pro project and import that project file into after effects with the key resulting in a very small file size in the end.

    Finally, Im not doing it backwards in my workflow, its just the method you, and others keep telling me to use simply does not work in this case. You are wrong, and so is Dave La Ronde. Keylight is not a great keyer, and i cannot make it look more realistic in AE using that key.

    Believe it or not me and my co workers are actually having no significant better keying results using the ultra key in premiere as opposed to the keylight tool in after effects. Keylight seems to just not work with our footage nearly as well, regardless of what we do.

    mean… I appreciate your response but this is hardly a realistic fix for my current problem.

    1. I’m not going to buy a new hard drive for just this project
    2. A large SSD is upwards of $400 or more so it’s hardly cheap….
