Re: keylight and crashing

Chris:

Thanks for your post.

I've tried all your suggestions. I was able to get it to output a clean, uncompressed, unkeyed clip as per your suggestion.

But when I take that clip and run it through Keylight with lower field output, whether to a Quicktime or an image sequence, I get the softening effect. I can get a better looking render when I use no field. It is crisp, but there is still detail loss because I'm missing a field. That is acceptable for this project, which is for the Internet.

But I still want to know why this process, which has worked so well before, no longer works. Also, I'm still having the other problem of AE constantly crashing while I'm rendering: I can't leave a render queue going overnight, and I have to constantly babysit the render.

Thanks.
