Re: keylight and crashing

Dave:

Thanks for your reply. I tried a couple more test based on your comments. I rendered out a segment of the original clip to a PSD sequence. Then by mistake I rendered out a clip of the chromakey (using no compression) without using lower-field-first. It looks fine. When I rendered it again, exactly as before, except using lower-field-first, it looks blurry. I've tried several ways, now: PSD to uncompressed, uncompressed to uncompressed, etc., and it's only when I used a lower-field-first output that I get the softening issue.

Have others encountered this in AE using field-rendering? I have to use field-rendering, don't I, when using interlaced footage, to avoid field-order issues?

Thanks
