That looks about right Squall08.
But only difference is that on mine the pic on the right would be showing through (phantom like) on the left side. But the lines... Those are the evil lines

The lines are one of two things:


Interlaced lines in footage:


Most all anime is telecined. This addes interlacing artifacts to the picture. You must inverse the telecine or de-interlace(meld, merge, bob, delete the lines AKA fields) to get rid of them.


Interlacing added by Premiere:

This happens when under Keyframe & Rendering you have Lower or Upper field firt enabled instead of No Fields. For editing AMVs you don't want this. You don't wnt that enabled unless you specifically know you'll need it.


So it's one of those two things. These aren't mystery lines that are like "OMG they'll never go away". You need to process your footage properly to get rid of them. Adjust one of the two things above and you should be fine.

Hey thanks man, I was following along with this post just trying this out as my video experiment of the day, and working off KMV's post on how to do the matting [great explanation, thanks], right off the bat I noticed those lines that have been referred to through out the post. Then followed Klinky's advice and set Keyframe & Rendering options to "No Fields" and it immediatly fixed the problem. To the 2 others that were having probs this is probably what it was. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

MmmK
Well then, I guess I'll try those suggestions out when I get to my pc.
Besides when it occurs in the layers matte thing. . .
is there anyway to know if it's fixed?

One thing, it would be good to make sure of is that you are seeing what you're video actually looks like now. To be absolutely sure, trash your preview files, and then hit "Skip Previews" when you open the project, and re-render what you have so far.

Well, if your referring to the video after render in premiere... thats what I see. I don't use previews. I just use export movie (render). what next?
trust me... I'll do whatever you suggest.

Hey, this just in
I Got rid of the lines.
There (ironically enough) was a de-interacing option in the divx codec configuration settings. sweat. But... I'm still getting a phantom in the bars. (I.E. video video 4 shows into video 3 and video 3 into video 2.)

Trasparancy using image matte on 4 layers

Postby CHWOODYARD » Thu Jul 10, 2003 12:03 am

Umm... hey kmv, how do you make the image matte that you made on the first page of this thread move? Like if I wanted that Image matte bar to move from the top to the bottom.

If I understand you correctly, you want to have a sold colour on the screen with a shape moving around, and as the shape moves it reveals the clip under it. Kind of like a shinning a torch* around in a darkened room. Right?
  • Create an image of the sold colour and you cut out the shape that will be revealing stuff. The cut out should be transparent. Save it as a PSD.
  • Then you import the PSD and place it on the timeline on the topmost video layer. Premiere should have auto-set the transparency settings for you, but if you want to check the key type should be set to Alpha-Channel.
  • Now use the motion controls to move the image around the screen.
  • Render and enjoy.

NOTE:
The image you create will need to be much larger than the video resolution; otherwise as soon as the edge of the image enters the video area the clip underneath will start to show. To work correctly your image will need a resolution that is three times (3*x by 3*y) your video resolution. This will also mean that you should tell Premiere to use the images aspect ratio, not the videos.

Think of it like a big piece of card with a hole cut in it, and you are moving the card around.

Trasparancy using image matte on 4 layers

Postby CHWOODYARD » Thu Jul 10, 2003 3:16 pm

I am asking this only as an inquery for later use.

I am trying to use a white background with a rounded rectangle as the cut out for the video. I made the transparent rectangle in the center of the image. I saved the rectangle psd as a 2160 x 1140 pixel image (3 times the video). The rectangle's image is an Alpha Channel. I tried to do what you said kmv and motion the rectangle to move from appearing a top the video to disappearing at the bottom of the video. When I tried this the outer edges of the white background would show during the motion.[/img]

Hmm... You're right. I could have sworn that used to work under 6.0 [sigh]

So it seems that if the image resolution is larger than the video resolution Premiere will always resize the image and ignore the "lock image aspect ratio" and "force aspect ratio" combination. :roll:

Never mind, there is another way of doing it - in the motion controls set the zoom to 200% at each motion point and it will work.
