Shake's output is terrible! can anyone help?

I've been carrying out a green screen test using shake. The footage is HDV and I sent the shots over to shake from FCP. In the viewer in Shake the quality isn't the same, it's grainy and pixilated.
I added the Key light effect and played with parameters until I was happy. I then rendered the file out node and the grainy/pixilated issue was still there.
Is there anything in the settings that I am supposed to change? Be it the render settings or the input settings?
I've attempted to use shake before and have given up because of this issue. Any advise would be extremely helpful.

Be sure to set the proxy mode to BASE (little pulldown menu in the upper right
of the interface.)
Officially, Shake doesn't support HDV (Shake Manual, p. 167). Although many
people work with HDV in Shake successfully, it's risky. Try exporting to ProRes 422
or Apple Intermediate Codec before going to Shake.
Keep in mind that HDV uses a 4:2:0 color space. So you'll get better keying results is you
blur the chroma first. Here's an article that discusses the technique for mini DV footage:

    All depnds what your using it for..  If it's an app, may be a delay in the app doing an update to be compaitible with iOS 6.  If its for an Apple app, then you need to check the settings for that specific app.

    My XML document is wellformed no doubt about thatNo doubt about that?!?
    I would say there is a great deal of doubt about that, especially since the subject of this thread, which you stated was the error message from FireFox is that the document is not well formed at all. I have some more wild guesses about what you've screwed up. Would you like to hear them? My best guess at this point would be that you are outputting some whitespace at the start of the output.
    Anyway, this seems pretty pointless. Your code is crap. And I really don't see the point in telling us you have an error, posting code, then having several people identify several major problems in your code and then for you tell us that your code is perfect. Your code is not perfect. It's terrible. Fix it. You've been given several ideas in this and your cross-post as to how to fix it.

    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • My VGA adapter is not working on my iPod.. Can anyone help?

    It seems to freeze more when I use the finger pad to move the mouse?
    Its becoming very annoying especially when I'm trying to watch a programme on bbc iplayer.
    Many Thanks

    Your hard disk is failing and requires replacement. Replacement is not terribly expensive and can be performed by someone sufficiently adept with computer repair. If that's not you, an Apple Store can perform the replacement.
    Back up your data ASAP.

  • IPod is causing pain and disturbance in my ears. Can anyone help?

    I've recently bought a 5th Gen iPod, my first iPod though I've been using iTunes on the PC for six months or so. As soon as I started listening to music on the iPod through the headphones, I found I got a terrible pain in my ears - heat combined with a sensation of immense pressure, and a pain which lasts for some time after I've stopped listening. When I tried the iPod in the car, using an iLuv FM transmitter, I had the same problem and had to stop listening after a little over an hour.
    I have never had problems listening to music through earphones before, nor have I had problems listening to CDs or Minidisc in the car. I don't listen to music particularly loudly.
    Has anyone else had similar problems, or can anyone help me? My only guess is that it either has to do with the compression used in encoding the sound from CD, or that it is the high-pitched sound made by the iPod's hard drive which is somehow disturbing my inner ear. I've had trouble with painful ears before, which seemed to result from working in a room with three PCs all day (when I quit that job, the problem seemed to go away).

    You should see a doctor, but also, consider using different earphones. The earphones that come with iPod are terrible - both in terms of acoustics and comfort. You can also give headphones a shot. I prefer headphones because they stay outside your ears and also work as earmuffs in winter .

  • File must be saved as a copy of this selection? can anyone help?

    ok so im on ps cs4 and all is well, i have been saving files as .png all day long and suddenly it stops allowing me to save as jpg,png and others as well, "File must be saved as a copy of this selection" is the message i got at the bottom of the screen. Can anyone help solve this problem?

    Did you change the bit depth?  Did you add one or more layers?  Did you add one or more channels?
    Whenever there's something in the image that cannot be stored because of a limitation of the output format (e.g., multiple layers or 16 bit per channel color and Save-As JPEG), Save As Copy will be selected by default.
