Problem when add Chroma Key filter to DVCPRO HD

I ingested some DVCPRO HD 720Pn footage into FCP. The footage was shot against a green screen. I started by creating a 4-point garbage matte around the person and then I added Color Smoothing and when I add the Chroma Key filter, the green screen comes back and a large grey area appears on screen. What is going on?

Ok, I just tried it again by creating the 4-pt matte and as soon as I drag the Chroma Key Filter to the clip, the points disappear, and the entire green screen comes back. Is this the way it is supposed to behave? Is there some type of apply button that I need to select after adjusting the last point of the garbage matte before doing anything else?
Thanks!

When I chroma key what do I work on? Files in the browser first? Canvass?

...or timeline? If I have two 3 minute sections of green screen do i edit them first in the timeline sequence or do I first edit out the green screen and then create my short? Very unclear, it seems that I can chroma key but when I look at the movie in the timeline the green is still there!!!!! Check the two files I imported and chroma keyed and they look like the key was successful so I am seeing two different things Infuriating that I can't figure this out after 3 days!\\Thanks
Don

The way most people do it is to first add the clip to the timeline, then apply the chroma key filter to the clip. Double-click the clip and edit the filter settings in the viewer.

Very bad interlaced effect on Chroma Key filter

Hallo everyone,
Does anybody know why when I try to apply a croma key filter on Motion the image I get is like this ?
while when I use FC I get best result? Like this:
Is there any option to set in Motion Prefs? Thank you

DV has a basic problem when trying to do a chroma key - that is it achieves its compression in the color channel - its color information is 1/4th that of its luminance resolution.
This is a quickie - using Conduit to key in Motion:
You can find out about Conduit here:
http://www.dvgarage.com/prod/prod.php?prod=conduit15&sub=samples
Check out the movie on keying DV for some insight into the limitations of keying DV. dvGarage also sells dvMatteBlast that handles all of this - a very nice product and they have a test version you can try...

Problem when add the subject

hi.. i'm trying to send email from a ASA Sybase database.. i register the class or the jar and call to the java method wrapper.. easy.. the problem is when adding the subject or the text of the email.. the proccess stuck there and don't send the mail.. but i try send outside the database from the main method and the mail is sended..
which could be the problem?
appreciate your help
miguel

i'm sure.. no exceptions.. i set to true the debug option in the session object and i log everywhere.. after all the statements.. and all are wrapped between a huge try/catch.. when i set the subject or the text the execution only stop and wait there like a infinite loop.. i say stop because the execution of the method don't log anymore.. the last tree statements of my send method is: add the subject, add the text and send the email via the Transport class.. the static method send.. when i comment the lines that add the subject and the text, the execution stuck when try to send the email without a subject and text.. is strange.. because i try outside the database and the email is sended.. i don't think that is a security problem.. is the same user that run the class and the same jvm..
any ideas?
thanks..

I do not know about the SD recording format with that camcorder. I am sorry. But, if your Premiere Elements project is set up for AVCHD, you should be able to edit AVCHD with that computer.
I do recommend optimizing Vista, however, so that you will get the best performance. Here's how to do it:
Δεν ξέρω για την SD μορφή εγγραφής που με βιντεοκάμερα. Λυπάμαι. Αλλά, αν σας Premiere Elements έργο που έχει συσταθεί για AVCHD, θα πρέπει να μπορείτε να επεξεργαστείτε AVCHD με αυτό τον υπολογιστή.
Εγώ συνιστούμε να βελτιστοποιήσετε Vista, όμως, έτσι ώστε θα έχετε την καλύτερη απόδοση. Να πώς να το κάνουμε:

Time loop problem when add a parellel subvi in another time loop

I have four time loops in parellel, they work find
without any problem. However when I add a third party
Vi as a subvi in parellel inside a another time loop.
The first four time loops start working eraticly.
Is there any way I can make them work independently
time wise. There is no data transfering between any
of the loops

Hello
The VI with the timing loop is set to cycle once every second, and all it does
Is turn on a boolean light indicator off and on every second. It has a boolean
inverter connected to the shift registers of the loop. Its priority is set to Normal.
The third party VI interacts with a spectrometer hardware. The spectrometer measures
The amount of light and transform the data collected by the spectrometer into digital information, which is then passes to LabView. LabView then compares the sample information to a reference measurement and displays the processed spectral information.
The timing loops of the main VI is manually set by me the user.
The timing loops would loose its sequence; the loops would run normal for a couple
Of cycle the
n either run fast or run slow. If I take out the third party subvi everything
Runs fine
I am using windows XP with LabView 7.1

Problem when add component

Hi all!

Why?

Personalization Problem when add a Custom Region

Hi all,
Scenario:
Via Jdeveloper i have create a custom region with associated AMxx, VOxx, CO and works fine.
I need to "add" the region to a standard page of Apprisal (/oracle/apps/per/selfservice/appraisals/webui/EmpAppraisalsPG).
Two way:
1. add the region to the page modifing the EmpAppraisalsPG page
2. personalize the original page with "flexible layout" and then add the region.
if I try 2, i receive the error: VOxx not found in Application module AM (not AMxx),
bacause seems that the AM associated with the custom region is not the 'custom' AM ( AMxx) but the root AM (the AM of EmpAppraisalsPG).
Question:
It's true? So, is not possible to add via personalization a custom region with a custom AM associated?
Thanks in advance
Chaly

Adding it using personalization using a flexibleLayout is the right approach. I am assuming the VOxx is part of AMxx, if yes then which API are you using to get handle to the AM, getRootApplicationModule or getApplicationModule(webBean). The second API should be used to fetch the nested AM and not the first one.

Chroma key problem

can I completely customise a colour selection? I have a shot with a lot of blue in it, deliberately, and a small area of green, basically a mini-green screen, that I want to key out. whenever I add the chroma key filter to it it seems to automatically remove the blue. I've tried using refine key>sample colour to choose the green, which works, but only adds the green to the blue. using the colour selection produces the same effect, I can't move the blue line beyond the blue section.
what I'm assuming is happening is that FCPX is automatically detecting the blus in the shot and "deciding" for me that this is the colour to remove, which it isn't. I can't find a way to use chroma keyer without this incredibly annoying automatic feature turned on. I've tried to 'reset parameters' in the chroma key inspector which just removes any adjustments I've made.
I'm new to FCPX having had to move from FCP7 because all our college computers got upgraded. I'm used to being able to use the old key effects where you could select very specific colours and have complete control over range, spill, etc. so this new lack of control is incredibly frustrating.
thanks

I've tried reseting every one of the seperate selections and nothing happened. playing around with it more I've found that dropping the strength to 0%, effectively removing the key and then using the refine key to select the green works, which seems weird to me. I can't adjust the strength beyond 0% though as that still effects the blue in the shot.
it's the automatic nature of the keyer that is bothering me, it seems to select the colour from the shot before I've done anything. in a previous green screen shot, where it was a more standard setup it automatically selected all the green in the scene. the control with the sliders, refine key, etc. are great, I just wish there was a way to turn off this initial auto-select.

Chroma Key problems with Final Cut Express 4

I had no problems with the Chroma Key in Final Cut Express 4 before. It was working perfectly fine untill I brought anther Macbook Pro last year in August. I installed it on the new computer and then the Chroma Key didn't work. Final Cut opens up and the other filters work fine but I can't get the chroma key to work. Any possible reasons?

I am experiencing an interseting problem with Final Cut Express on OSX Lion. I teach in a Mac Lab at my school. Today I was trying to teach Chroma Keying- which I have been doing for years - but for some reason the color selector would just not key out anything. I tried it on four or five different machines, and it turns out that ONLY my machines that were running OSX Leopard would allow the Chroma Key to function. I have two machines running Lion and the Chroma Key would not work on EITHER of them. I followed the exact same steps, and all of the settings were identical. The hardware was also the exact same package from machine to machine. I feel like there must be an issue with OSX Lion that is breaking the Chroma Key filter. Can anyone help?

Chroma Key and Rendering

I've having issues with the video quality once I apply a chroma key filter and render the video. We film everything on a black background, but we still have to key some of it out to make it look smooth. Once I do this, the video loses quality and becomes slightly blurred. I then have to render, and the audio and video no longer match. The audio is just slightly ahead of the video. I'm kind of new to FCE and completely self-taught, so I'm guessing this issue is simply a setting I need to adjust. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm tired of all my videos looking blurry and unaligned with the audio.

For sequence properties,
Compressor:DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Frame Size:720x480
Vid Rate:29.97 fcs
Audio Rate:48.0 KHz
Format:32 bit floating point
For the clip,
Compressor:DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Frame Size:720x480
Vid Rate:29.97 fps
Audio Rate:48.0 KHz
Format:16 bit Integer
I do add audio files for background music. They are generally a wav format and the audio rate for them is 44.1 while the format changes depending on the piece. Thanks and hopefully this was the info you were looking for.
