If it was in 720, make the project 1080 and put them on the timelines and move them as you wish.

When I'm cutting around a photograph (adding green in Paint) and tried saving it in both Bitmap and JPEG formats, I'm always getting a green (or white outline), depending on the color chosen, even if I load a raw bitmap into editing software.

Also make sure there is a rim light around your subject, and try to keep your subject far away from the wall to avoid any color reflecting onto them.</p> <p>It's important not to record a highly compressed codec as well. DV, AVCHD, HDV, XDCam, H.264...all not very good for chroma key. DVCPro 50, DVCPro HD, Beta SP or DigiBeta, ProRes...all good for chroma key. Obviously, uncompressed is good too.</p> <p>While in post, you should be able to feather the edge of your key, that may help if you're stuck with what you have. And if you didn't record one of the codecs that I listed for being good for keys, transcoding to them before doing your key may help</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/green-outline-around-subject-with-chroma-key#post-60858 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:51:28 +0000 Fish 60858@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> When I green screen anything, the subject always has a green outline around them.

I removed the imagemixer program and copied the clips staright from the camera hard drive and they were copied from a file called AVCHD but deeper on a file called STREAMS. So they are all on my pc now but wont play still. When i click on them the wmp window pops up and is blank so I'm guessing conversion is my next step?</p> <p>Also my Corel still will not recognise the clips in their current form when i do a search for digital files I go to where they are but they are invisible? I only copied the clips off the camera but not all of the other files that were confusing? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/retrieving-with-video-pro-x2#post-50473 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:06:41 +0000 dingdong 50473@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>ok will try this thanks. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/retrieving-with-video-pro-x2#post-50336 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:41:48 +0000 roblewis56 50336@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My Canon stores the movie clips in a folder called AVCHD.

I tried to load the images onto my pc before installing the program but you could not play them when they turned up and so I guess i need to conver them.</p> <p>you say that Corel will pick them up but if i cant play them after transferring them straight form the camera then will Corel be able to retrieve them from the file? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/retrieving-with-video-pro-x2#post-50297 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 11:49:50 +0000 roblewis56 50297@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My own experience may be relevant here. I use a Canon Vixia HF11 that records to an SD card. I remove this card and copy it to my computer. With Adobe Premier Elements 7.0 I only need to copy the actual movie clips as these can be imported directly into Premier. However with Corel I need to copy the whole AVCHD folder into my computer in order to capture the movie clips in Corel.
