Hmmm… Just a follow up question:

How can I control the matte and the inverse matte seperately?

I have added a serial node and added matte and am able to control the matte layer separately. I would like to be able to do the same for the inverse matte. At the moment my adjustments of node 1 (below) affect the entire image.

I have tried going back to media and adding the matte layer twice to a clip and then selecting straight for one and inverse for the other but this is not giving me an inverse matte.

Thanks

Thanks for confirming this Juan. All the best.

Solution Found! I took the layer i wanted blurred and pre-comped that with the 3d camera, then nested that comp in my main sequence as a 2d object and then added RSMB.

Thanks Darby. The native motion blur did work but I was having trouble getting the effect I wanted out of it.

That’s the one. Thanks Shane.

Darn. I’ve always been a mac user and it shows. They use premiere – will they be able to open my XML?

Thanks Greg, but I don’t actually own this camera. It was lent to me for a shoot and I just need to get one 1.3GB file of it. Any other solutions?

Thanks Greg, but im tying to avoid spending money on a card reader.

Rafael, I took a look at Shane Ross’s tutorial. For some reason, my Camera does not pop up on my OSX. Image Capture recognizes it but Finder does not and nor does FCP Log and Transfer.

The files must be somewhere but where?

Thanks Dave,

I like your idea of shooting a well-exposed clean slate for background but I wouldn’t be able to use it because my chroma keyed figures are actually interacting with the world around them – ie. throwing rocks – the movement of which would not be represented in the clean slate. But it’s a good trick to keep up my sleeve for some of the simpler static shots 🙂

Thanks a lot for helping me through this one.

Thanks Dave, but it’s crucial that it’s a location shoot. I want the characters interacting with the environment (ie. throwing rocks, climbing trees) and this’d be too difficult to fake via a studio shoot.

I’m leaning towards pink suits. In a golden field, I imagine pink providing a cleaner key than red. But I am worried that pink would also reflect more light and I’d have some of the same problems I had with the lime suit.

Here’s a matte pink suit that I’m considering (yes, I know it’s meant for things other than chroma keying!):

Think it might work?
