And also, in case anyone didn’t pick up on my mistake above, it only works when encoding from Premiere with Adobe Media Encoder, or when encoding a Premiere Pro project from within Adobe Media Encoder.
If you simply try to transcode a separate file outside of Ppro with AME, it wont work.

OK…did it the right way, encoding a group of PPro sequences, and it worked!

Oops…ignore that. I’m an idiot. I was simply transcoding a group of MOV’s, not encoding from Premiere, in which case PProHeadless.exe wasn’t even running, so the batch wouldn’t be expected to function. I’ll give it a try the RIGHT way.

A worthy project. I already have an auto-shutdown app that I use, but I have to make a guess as to when a long encoding session might end before I have it shut down. This would eliminate that guesswork.
However, I just tried, and your batch shut me down right in the middle of an encode.
I’m also using Windows 7 64bit.

I totally disagree with all current suggestions. The only way to remedy this sort of problem is to reshoot. I would like to offer my assistance, free of charge, of course. You may contact me to advise of the location.

The former ‘Ultra Keyer’ by Serious Magic touted being able to do just this, and even with water in the glass. That technology is what is built into Premiere CS5 and up as ‘Ultra Key’. If you own it, you might want to give it a shot.

It’s the ‘Match Frame’ command, also found in the menu. If you’re using CS6, it’s the ‘F’ key by default, making sure that the pertinent video track is selected. If you’re using a version below CS6, it was the ‘M’ key.

Another trick that is quite popular, especially on news programs, is to center your SD footage int he HD frame, then place another copy of the same clip behind it, scale it up to fill the background, then add a heavy blur to the background clip.
Watch major news networks, as well as ESPN. You can easily pick out the SD footage they have gotten for a program when they use this technique.

Also, reducing the actual area of green that you are having to key out can be a big factor. To get the smallest area possible, this tutorial can’t be beat.
