Trasparancy using image matte on 4 layers

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

i never did figure out how to fix the video for taht. i decided to use a screen shot of the dvd instead of capturing the video for that part. i kinda stopped workin on that video though due to capturing problems.

good luck

DAMN LINES. . . HAHA

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.)
