VideoStudio :: V12 - Interlacing On Chroma Key?
Aug 16, 2012
I'm editing videos that are 1080i (I forget the model number, but it's a Canon camcorder and I think it's actually 1440x1080.) When rendered normally, everything looks fine and the interlacing is not really noticable.
However, some of the videos have been resized, and the background replaced using a green screen / chroma key. When someone's hands move away from their body and over the background, the interlacing is very noticable and looks pretty bad. I have tried rendering using both default templates with Upper Field First, and custom Frame Based templates, none of which work to reduce the interlacing. Is there a way to reduce it, or am I stuck with it?

Most of my speed skating videos are interlaced. How do you use X4 to de interlace my video? I record with a Canon HFS20 and the file format is .MTS. Normally I would put in my titles and then just go to:
Share > Create Video File > Blu-ray > then 1920 x 1080

I'm outputting DV-AVI files filmed on a Sony A1 in DV CAM as MPEG-4 videos for upload to Vimeo.The projects and source files are:
PAL (25 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 16:9, 25 fps
Lower Field First
Matrox DV/DVCAM -- type 2
PCM, 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
I have been outputting to create movies with the following properties:
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 1280 x 720, 25 fps
Frame-based
H.264 Main Profile Video: 5000 Kbps
44100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 128 Kbps
I'm using VideoStudio Pro X5 trial version.
Should I in fact select / have selected Lower Field First or is Frame Based OK? Is it safer / more reliable to select Lower Field First if that's the format of the source files? The videos seem to look OK on my laptop - don't know about Vimeo.

The chromakey function works passably well when I'm using it without any effects (I still have issues with transparency) but seems to work not at all when I apply an effect. I've tried applying sketch, rotosketch, colored ink, emboss, etc to the overlay after I've chroma keyed out the green and it basically eliminates the green screen effect.
There are SOOO many issues with this program that are really beginning to make it unusable for me.
-- Transitions applied to overlays (even a simple cross fade) usually affect all clips playing at that time (not just the specified overlay effect) which makes them unusable for overlays.
-- Even with smart proxy turned on, the preview video gets garbled and choppy after a few playings.
It's just a shame because the interface really is more intuitive than any other program I've used (after effects, Premiere, Vegas).

how to apply the Mask & Chroma Key. I've dragged a Color into the timeline, and selected OPTIONS and then Mask & Chroma Key, but all I have now is a neon green glob on my screen that covers everything else (because that's the color I chose.)
So how do I blot out the background of a brief video clip?
And - for that matter - I'm trying to find some tutorials so I can try out features without continuing to bother everyone?

whenever I make a interlaced gif or png it doesnt interlace It just loads normally.
Would it have something to do with the fact that I made it a background image div?

I come from the video field, I started taking professionals photographs recently and took some pictures against a green background for a video that I was doing.
What is the BEST way to do a chroma key on photoshop? I dont find any 'chroma key' function as in Adobe Premiere for example, but I know there must be a way. I tried 'selecting' and area but I dont think that's the best way to do it
Please have in mind I am not an 'expert' on photoshop, I know my way around it and can follow instructions very well.
I am using the CS2 version.

When photographing a subject in front of or standing on a Chromakey background, I always get reflected blue light on the subject. I can't seem to get rid of the background in photoshop without spilling over into the subject.
What can I do? I have CS 2.

I have just ordered a Chroma Key green screen to use for some fashion photography.
Have any of you used one of these ?
I will be wanting to cut the green backdrop out so that I can place my models on any backdrop I desire.

I'm currently working on a project in which I'm taking still images of various products against a static background. Up to this point, I've been manually cutting the products out of their background, a very tedious activity.
Taking a step back, I realized that I have many thousands of photos to take and clean up, and that this manual manipulation just isn't going to "cut it" (pun, haha).
I have been trying to find a program of sorts that will remove a particular color (preferably specified by its hex code) from a photo, and perhaps replace it with white, or resize/crop the image.
With this program I would be able to take the pictures against an obnoxious background color that could be quickly done away with by a computer.
I guess this is known by many terms in "the industry", including chroma key, matting, compositing, etc.
I have run across a couple of possible programs (Ultimatte, Adobe After Effects), but I don't know much about any of them.
One other feature that would be, well, desired would be command-line functionality. Ideally, I would be able to incorporate said program into a script that can process a huge list of photos while I'm off doing other things.

I am having issue with a simple project. It's a simple green chroma keying project which looks ok inside Premiere, but once exported it turns into a nightmare. I will post screens instead of writing the details. I am not using any external plugins. The output is rendered with tweaked settings for H.264 Vimeo 720p 29.97 fps MP4 format. I'm working with an NDA, but the problem is only in the shadows as far as I can tell.
This is how it looks inside premiere (both reference and program look the same) This is how the matte looks.And this is the final render (checked in Quick Time and VLC).Never in my life of editing in Pr, FCPX or Smoke have I enountered this issue before.

I have VSX5 Ultimate perfectly runnng on my Vista desktop and on my W7 32bit laptop. I am now setting up a new 64bit W7 desktop PC. I installed VSX5 Ultimate on it, but strange enough, it all seems OK but there is no QT (.mov) file export selection available anymore. Not in the batch converter output formats list, nor on the custum video file sharing list. Am I missing something? I already intalled the latest Quictime version.

I recently bought CVS X4 and new hardware to my computer (i5 2500k @4.2GHz, 8GB ram, SSD hard drive, 2x2xRAID etc).
I was suprised to see that when I'am trying to render a HD (1920x1080) file with no compression its taking A LOT of time and not so much of my computer powers;) CPU use is around 5% on all cores when I'am rendering the movie:/ I feel like it should be faster and use more CPU:< how to speed it up?:)

how VS handles files recorded at 30fps when the settings and final product will be PAL. Some smaller / cheaper cameras only offer 30 fps. Does this make VS work harder?

I am puzzled about creating a BD disc (folder) from HDV video and selecting MPEG2 and1440x1080. My problem is that although X3 allows this selection, the Bly-ray specification only allows 1440x1080 with AVCH264 and VC!, not with MPEG2. ([URL].....) So I think the anamorphic HDV footage gets converted to 1920x1080 before it is being embedded into a BD format.

I made some changes to my video- including shortening one clip by about half.
I even saved the vsp file under a different name, closed VS and re-opened it.
And when I create a DVD, the changes are not on the DVD- it's including the entire clip that I cut in half, instead of just what is left in VS.

I have been using video studio with no problems adding title tracks before the video clips. Now for some reason I can't make the video clips run after the title but the first one runs at the same time with the title overlayed. I guess I could shoot some black video to add as the first clip but it was working before.

I sometimes use the "Video Pan and Zoom" feature in VS ProX4 to pan horizontally. I also want to be able to pan vertically. Is there a way of doing this in VSPro 4? If not, do the more recent Pro 5 and 6 programs allow this?

I have been using VS since version VS5 and lately VS X2. Now I have upgraded to VS X4 Pro, the box version.
The installation went well and am just performing some tests. I was curious in the new facility with converting 2D to 3D.
I followed the manual and tried with one clip and went to the Share step where I selected Create videofile, selected 3D and DVD as well as AVCHD. My clip was in full HD. I went to the Options menu where I ticked 3D Simulator and Anaglyph.
The result after rendering however was only a white screen but with the sound from the clip. When rendering the same clip to DVD or AVCHD in the "normal way" everything was OK.

I made a DVD video in the default (I live in Canada) NTSC format using VSP X4. However I would like to make the same Video DVD in PAL format, to send to relatives in Europe. In "Share" mode, when I click on "Settings and Options" then "Disk Template Manager" I can see templates for NTSC and choosing PAL I see templates for PAL. Next when I go to "Projects Settings" the setting is in NTSC and clicking "Change MPEG Settings" only the NTSC templates show up. When I choose "Custom Settings" I can not change to PAL as the drop down menu for choosing is inactive.

When I select Create Video File > WMV > WMV HD 1080 30p the resulting file is 1440x1080!
Why does it do that? Is that really what most people think of when they see "1080"?
How do I do a standard 1920x1080 WMV with Video Studio Pro X6?

I have been using VideoStudio for quit some time but always just made files and never tried to make discs from the program.
I read through the manual this morning and started out.
Under Share, I went to create disc DVD and successfully loaded my VSP file as I wanted. The instructions were to go to click next for preview and after previewing click next again for the burn step. There is no "next" button in the preview step, only a back button. And when I go back there is nothing that says go to the burn step, only "next" so I am stuck in a loop.

I've assembled 25 titles on DVD and noticed all of them are way too loud compared to my normal tv volume. My computer volume is way down, too, so I'm wondering how to turn down the volume on the whole DVD.

I have copied a recorded TV programme from a PVR hard disc onto a DVD and then copied the DVD onto the hard disk of my computer. When I try to use my trial version of VS XV to import the "digital media", it first shows what I might call empty thumbnails. Then I get a message saying "The file formats of some selected files are not supported". Clicking on OK then produces a message saying "There is no valid clip". I should add that hovering over the empty thumbnails describes the format as DVD+VR. Just incidentally, I have been able to import the clips into PowerDirector.

I cannot press space bar to play my video anymore while in editing. It shows on the screen the play button is pressed but nothing actually playes. And when I press the space bar again it shows it being paused. When I try to edit a segment. It also skips to the very end everytime I do this. I dont know why. Ive re-downloaded this once already and everything worked fine for about a day then it started doing the same thing again. I have tried looking up solutions and I cannot find anything about this matter.
How can I stop this skipping to the end? I cant even play my video. ONLY if I have something selected will it play. it will not play for example a text track and a video track together. It HAS to be selected in order to play.
It also will NOT let me save the video's anymore also? as in creating a video file.
