Thank you Roland
u solved the problem… I am still getting a outline around the arrow that i can’t get rid of.. Tried
making the luma layer bigger but it actually made the problem worse. Any suggestions??Sean

ya you’re right!! this was my first one and wanted to just give some of my
basic bulk workflow suggestions. i will do an in depth one next time. -
So let me get this straight. You would suggest. a comp of say 1280 x 720.
i would make my picture 1280 x 10,000. I would keyframe left to right with matching left and right margins on the outer edges of picture and then duplicate again.I sort of assumed this but it seemed ridiculously large an image in background.
Is that correct??

I think the processing is fine. You probably want to change the video card to 1TB Nvidia card to take advantage of the Cuda processing. This will greatly enhance the speed of both premiere pro and AE.
In addition. The more ram the better. I am running a mac book pro with 16 GB ram and wish i could put more in for AE.
If you are running a lot of effects and large comps, I find editing an AE project difficult with my configuration.
With the processing. This comes down to rendering your project out. If I have a large project I have sometimes done it over lunch break or even over night.

I am going to try to explain better since the suggestions you all offered were ones i tried.
I have 1 clip. I cut the clip in half. the first clip is the same size as the comp size. The next clip is the same clip but zoomed in to give a different look to shot.
I then nested the 2 clips together. Added MBL to the nest. What happened is that both clips got mbl added but to the original size, same as comp. So the zoomed in clip lost the vignette because it was zoomed in past it.
In the past, when i used FCP, you would nest then add MBL to the nest. This was how you achieved your final look to your edited material. In AE, you would add an adjustment layer and then MBL over the material. In FCP, the nest acted like an AE adjustment layer.
How do i achieve the same thing in Premiere Pro???

That’s great if it’s one zoomed clip. There are many different clips of different sizes

Okay figured out the problem.. Still need advice though! I started from scratch and my layer stack is as follows.
Light1
Camera1
Video- keyed image
adjustment layer – fast blur added – and keyframed to blur more as she moved closer to camera
Solid – 3d text through continuum
Background image.So when i deleted the adjustment layer. the shadow then showed up
on both views.So why didn’t it work and how do i then do blur out the background
and add the shadow to it?? -
Boys I am going mental here!!!
I am using CS5.5. Just tried the same thing with .mov with animation
with alpha. Exact same issue. Moving light did nothing to the keyed
image. It did move the shadow on the solid layer that is using continuum.As before, the custom view is correct, the active camera is not showing
shadow from the keyed video image.I am calling Adobe for all the good it will probably do.
aaarrgghh!!!
I am running a 2011 mac book pro with 16Gb of Ram.
Am I missing a setting somewhere about the active camera??

So I rendered frame out to photoshop file. imported
in and made it a 3D layer. It worked as it should.Now what??
I am going to render out as an animation codec with alpha to experiment.
I can’t imagine this being a codec issue!the original footage is h.264 file out of a canon5d.
any other guesses as to what is happening?
Sean

Yup
Sean
you see, i could understand it not working at all and having a
mistake somewhere, but why it would work in Custom View and not
Active Camera is baffling to me.
