Help with Fraps/Vegas7/Chroma/Background

HirshelX · 09-29-2007, 10:05 PM

Extremely noobish question here, I will give the basic layouts of the problem.

I have an excellent FRAPS of the WoW orcish character intro that I recorded. I've put a simple half black screen over it with the Chroma Keyer to test it. The background shown through perfectly.

I have a test FRAPS of a blood elf from the model viewer I recorded to test Chroma keying a character. It works great on a JPEG background. When I match it up to the FRAPSed Orc entrance as the background image, random major distortion will get mixed in on the background video only. I've fiddled with all my rendering settings and what not. Even when I change the preview quality these lines in only the background show up. I tried Chroma keying the Blood Elf over another AVI on my computer and there was absolutely no problem at all. It appears to only show up when I put this guy over a FRAPSed background. Anyone else ever run into this?

Figured it out. Just a little hint, and I'm sure it was mentioned to a lot of people.. but...

If you use FRAPS to take something in game and out of game.. just flick it to half size... makes the Chroma keying a lot easier for us newbies.
