Hi Gregory,

Yes that was my solution to the problem too. But alas it is a complex scene with lots of moving parts and people. Rotobrush is doing a much better job than a few years before but it’s still very time consuming. But still thank you for your quick reply!

Hi Mads, I was thinking of difference keying first but alas there was no clean plate to work with. I thought mathematically it probably wouldn’t be a problem to determine the movement of a pixel and turn that into a matte and that there is probably already a tool out there. But thank you anyways!

Hello Rich,

sorry, but I totally forgot to thank you for your reply. I ended up using a mixture of your method and a bunch of edge correction tools and it worked way better than before.

Thank you very much!

Hey Kalleheikki,

thank you sooo much for your swift response…and it was pure gold! Thanks to your nudge in the right direction I figured it out and it works like a charm!

Have a great day!

Thanks Michael for your reply! That’s what I thought too. It’s funny that there seams to be enough information in the unaltered log-Footage for Keylight to get a good key out of that flat looking image. So maybe I was worried for nothing.

Hi again,

just tried it but no change so far.

Thank you anyway.

Hi Ben,

sadly I’ve already tried that and it didn’t change anything.

It seems that when the layers where placed in the precomp this precomp became completely new footage and not just a container for them (like I wanted). The motion of the precomp itself is now what creates the motion blur and the motion blur of the separate layers is ignored.(what I didn’t want)

Probably there is just some button in there somewhere that enables AE to “dive into” the precomp and get the data from the original layers instead of from the precomp.

But thanks for your reply anyway!

Thanks very much for the quick reply, Mato!

I have no idea why, but in the meantime it suddenly worked again.

Weird stuff…maybe some memory glitch.

But thanks anyway.

Hi Jon, thanks very much for the quick reply.

Your are right. I opened a still frame in Photoshop and it looked like it’s supposed to. So it really just needed to be interpreted correctly by the viewer.

I’m not very familiar with codecs in HDV but I want to export my final render from AE in some good quality HD (one of the reasons why I chose TIFFs as output from Premiere, since it seemed to keep as much quality as possible).

What is the best output-file format and codec for HDV?
