Re: keylight and crashing

Dave and Chris:

Thanks for both your responses.

Dave: I've kind of run out of ideas on what it could be, hence the posts. Shooting hasn't changed: we shoot component video on Beta to avoid DV compression. We capture in this case in Avid using Meridian uncompressed 1 to 1 codec.

At first I thought it was the latest Avid codec, but then I was having the same problem when I rendered the sequence to the uncompressed None codec in the output dropdowns.

Chris: Flash isn't at all in the picture. I'm not rendering the chromakeys out as matte channel files, but as comps over the background with audio.

The weirdest thing is, everything looks great in the comp window. Then, the instant I hit render, I see the image go soft.

Again, thanks for the input. I'm going to have to give it a rest and get back to my scheduled tasks.
