Crazy Color Problems - Please Help SOON! >.>

Punchline · 12-16-2007, 01:52 AM

Okay, so I'm trying to Chroma Key with Vegas and I'm doing everything right, but when I go and watch it in the little screen I notice that sometimes random colors will appear. Then, I'll go back to watch the same spot again, but it won't be there. However, another different color thing will show up in a different spot.

The following screenshot shows an example of this problem.

Does it pop up too if you render it to a file and play it?

... wtf? Thats the sort of stuff you imagine doesn't happen in a computer program... its math and math doesn't go wrong for no reason.

Though I can see you've got some odd project settings, those are the dv defaults with interlaced, you dont want that

I don't even know what you're saying there, lol.

Like uh, the red boxes should be whatever's closest to the things you recorded, which you can see if you select your media files in the vegas explorer window. The green boxes are always like that for computer recorded stuff.

hope it helps

Ya, I don't get it, lol...

Also, I don't see where you saw any boxes like those red and green boxes in my screenshot. >.>

No, there aren't, those are the project settings you should use for maximum quality. I was thinking the video could get fudged up because it cant figure out the resizing and converting to fields properly, so if you use the right settings it might correct itself. As I wrote above.

Here are my current Project Properties. I have never touched them. What am I supposed to change?

The ones colored green should be what I wrote in those boxes, the resolution is whatever your stuff is recorded at (select your clips in the vegas explorer and it says in the bottom box there), frames per second whatever you chose in fraps.
