System details:
G5: Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC
2.5 GB DDR SDRAM
GFX: ATI Radeon 9650
Mac OS 10.4.11

I’ll report to Apple as well (although admittedly I assumed “operator error”).

Thanks David!

Thanks Chris!

Unfortunately, the dump to DVCAM was done prior to me being hired for the project. I’m not sure what the reasoning was for the DVCAM offline. I was assuming file size, but apparently that isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) a major concern.

As for the tutorial, it may be a bit dated, but it explained the process very clearly.

Thanks again!

Thanks to both of you who suggested the “shadow and highlight” filter from Lyric. I’ve used it before for washed-out footage.

In this case, what I’m trying to do is either eliminate or greatly reduce the actors’ shadows on the wall.

I’m not sure it will do the trick in this case, but I’ll play around with it a little more and see what magic we can work.

Thanks!!!

Thanks guys! Each one of you is right — although Steve, yours is really a last resort! ;-D

Thanks for the response, Jeremy. So… I need to create an alpha channel just for the “audience” while maintaining the green screen in front of which they are seated?

Thanks, Charlie.

I’m probably missing something very basic, but if I turn all of the levels down so everything goes black, won’t that prohibit the use of the greenscreen in front of which they are seated? I mean wouldn’t that also make the green screen black in which case there would be no definition between the audience and the (now black) green screen?

Ok, I’ve looked through the archives and have tried shutting it down and letting it rest overnight — no luck — also tried holding down Opt + Apple + R + P and waiting for the three chimes — still no luck. Can anyone assist?

Thanks,
Sue
