I abandoned trying to use chroma keying with my green screen
and am now trying to adjust colors to make my clip work (backlit
dancers against green screen and some white wall). I've had
pretty good success with the color adjustment, but when I
do, it lowers the quality of the clip (jagged looking, blurred
and pixelated at edges, etc.).
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can
prevent it? I'm using FCP 7 on an iMAC. The footage
is 16:9 converted with MPEG Slipstream. Again, the
footage looks fine, it's only when I try to alter color,
saturation, etc. that it looks bad (if I only desaturate,
it looks fine too). But I'm trying to change the greens
to reddish orange (trying to change everything to
that color except black silhouettes of dancers).
I'd be done with the project (book trailer) but this
is stopping me cold. This is the first time I've used
FCP by the way.
Thanks so much for any help!
Cheers,
Robert
