White Clothing on Blue Screen

We shot HD footage of a subject against a blue screen. In one shot he was wearing mostly black. These came out really well using the steps in the Motion Manual pages 151-154.
We also shot him wearing mostly white and this isn't quite so easy. I have to turn the noise down to zero to get him to be completely solid white. Of course then, background noise appears from the blue screen. Is there something I can set differently to make this as easy as the black clothing was?

next time you won't make this mistake of shooting keyable video on a blue screen. the blue channel has most of the inherent noise of video, especially in the very compressed formats of hdv and dvcpro hd. green screen is much better for keying video.
creating an edge matte and combining with a core matte to protect your subject is the way you may want to go. this tutorial on after effects explains the concept. http://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/newpage_wrapper.cgi?forumid=1&page=http://www.creativecow.net/articles/onneweerbarend/keyingtut/index.html

  • Flash video with blue screen

    Hello everyone,
    Using Adobe Premiere CS3, I have created a talking head video
    against a blue screen backdrop, and exported it as an FLV with
    alpha encoded. This works beautifully to create a floating talking
    head with a fully transparent background in a separate Flash movie,
    or in a Captivate 3 slide show. But when I tried to insert the
    video into a new layer in a Dreamweaver HTML page, the background
    was opaque white. The blue screen transparency effect worked and
    allowed the default white background of the Flash document to shine
    through. That's obviously not the result I want for the web page,
    though. I just want the floating head.
    I'm hoping there is a quick solution for this. Does anyone
    know how to accomplish this? I am using Dreamweaver CS2 at the
    moment (i.e., Dreamweaver 8).

    I tried updating my ATI driver but I continued to have intermittent problems (system hangs and unexpected reboots) with current versions of Shockwave in Firefox - a right pain in the neck. I noticed that the date changed on the driver ... but not the version ... ??!!
    So I am now back where I started (I rolled back the device driver):-
    Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64
    ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, device driver version, 8.401.0.0 dated 27/07/2007.
    Haven't the folks at Adobe/Firefox heard of 'backwards compatibility' ?!
    It seems I am stuck now ... until a version of Flash comes out which addresses my specific problem ...
    Does anybody have a solution ??
    MANY THANKS!

  • My Macbook wont turn on, it gets pasted the White Apple screen then goes to a Blue screen that quickly turns a slightly darker shade of blue with the familiar loading icon then back again and does this over and over. What should I do? please help!

    So today my iPhone decides to go into recovery mode on me randomly so I  plugged it into my Macbook right away, but it wasn't showing up in iTunes so I did a quick internet search as to why that could be. On the Mac support forum I found instructions stating I should make sure I had the current verison of iTunes on my computer, turns out I had been putting off an Update because I didn't like waiting for it to restart n so forth. So I clicked my boucning update friend at the bottom of my screen and it started checking for updates, the bar got maybe a quarter of the way up and then stopped moving all together, I thought something was wrong so I clicked cancel and tried again. The same thing happened so I clicked cancel and went back to the Internet to find more help on my problems. I found yet another forum saying this solution was simple, restart the computer. So i clicked my little apple at the top and pressed restart and that has been the last thing I got to do on my computer because when it restarted it got past the White Apple logo screen and went on to a Blue screen which quickly turned a darker shade and had the loading circle, then back to the previous blue screen, then right back to the darker one. This process it repeated several times and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. Please someone have a simple answer to this that I haven't Already tried, I have already tried safe mode and it just doesn't work for me. Please please help I need my computer for class it has all my notes and a paper I was doing, not to mention my iphone is still in recovery mode, even when I can get to another computer to fix that I need all the back up files off of my macbook to restore it to what I know it as and not default.

  • My iPod Touch is either a blue screen or shows the battery as drained with red at the front and a white lightening bolt below it. It is plugged in to charge, but won't.

  • White screen, new hard drive, blue screen. Help!

    Tried to boot my MacBook Pro (2011) and just had blank white screen. Tried to boot from Mountain Lion bootable flash drive and just get a blue screen.
    Installed new hard drive. Same thing. Suggestions?

    After the dealer looked it over, he determined it has a bad logic board. However, searching online, I see the cause of all these 2011 MBP failures is due to the Raedon graphics card in them. Apple was replacing free for iMacs with the same part, but so far isn't doing the same for MacBook Pro's. I have emailed Apple, intend to call them, and posted on their support forum as well as other ones. FRUSTRATING.

  • On start up my Mac Book Pro shows a white screen with a spinning wheel. I have tried starting up with the Snow Leopard disk - all I get is a blue screen. I guess that this is a major repair job??????

    If you have the exact same problem - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  If you have AppleCare call them!

  • How do i get rid of the blue screen in develop mode, with a big white x in it???  this is on LR6, never had this problem in LR4

    I go to photos i have already modified in LR4, now in LR6 and all i get is an annoying blue screen with a white x in it.  I cannot see my work.  Help!!!!!

    Well, then you have to do without GPU acceleration. For most users, it doesn't seem to represent a big improvement.
    But GPU support in LR is at an early stage, and will probably make more of a difference in future versions.

  • Blue Screen at start up, then outline of a white box with ? inside appears.

    My daughter is having a problem with her 13" Macbook. At start up, only a blank blue screen appears, then after a minute or so, a white box outline appears with a question mark inside it. Has anyone ever seen this?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'llsee a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • White blue screen

    after trying to charge my iphone 5s suddenly it got crashed turnned in to white screen then blue screen and it keeps on repeating and so on untill the battery died and when i try to charge the charging screen keeps on repeating and so on

    Hi cutellita,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the issue you are having charging your iPhone.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Power/Battery
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Screen get a little White-ish and Blue-ish due to After Effects.

    I just downloaded the after effects cs6 from adobe, wanted to play around with it.
    whenever I start the application as usual the application shows up their logo in a square shap and loads all the plugins etc.
    while it loads and starts my screen gets white-ish and blue-ish.
    it's only when I run after effects for the rest of the applications the screen is normal.
    so far i can conclude that there is no problem in my display and it's only a problem when i run after effects cs6.
    it never happened in after effects cs5 but happens in cs6 version.
    i am using late 2011 mbp. 2.4ghz amd radeon 6770m 1gb grahpics. intel i7.

    HI @Skarsnik 
    Thank you for your inquiry.
    I grasp you have only had the notebook for 8 days. When you powered it on you got to the password screen but then it went to a black or blank display.  You did a restore back to 4 days ago and now you get a blue Screen instead of the black screen with the cursor.
    I  would try a Refresh your PC to resolve problems Windows 8.
    If you are unable to do the refresh here is a link to Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8) to take it back to factory.
    If the issue should return I would recommend contacting HP support for assistance as it is  new .
    Please call our technical support at 800 474 6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get a support number for your region.

  • My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!!

    My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!! I have had it on charge all day and have tried plugging it in to my computer to sync.

    Restore your software using iTunes.
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    You should be able to restore your backup file after this procedure. If the problem comes back, you either have corruption in your backup file, or a serious hardware problem that should be looked at by a tech at the Genius Bar (make an appointment first).
