Ive been doing a fair amount of green screen work with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 lately. So far everything has been fine until my latest project. I have two video tracks (one on top of the other.) These are the green screen subject track and a background track. After I adjust the green screen settings in the chroma keyer dialogue box, everything looks good. All is normal when I play the two tracks together on the timeline.
However, when I am rendering the video, I can see a brief appearance of the green background every now and then in the footage. And when I play the completed video, I get this annoying flickering effect from the green showing through at random moments - and it's happening a lot within the clip. In other words, there are many instances where only the green screen track is visible (no background track) during the rendering and the finished video - if that makes any sense. And like I mentioned before, these issues are not visible when the project is played on the timeline.
I never had these problems with the previous green screen projects I did. The only difference with this one is I'm shifting the tracks quite a considerable distance in relation to each other after I adjust the chroma key settings (high threshold and low threshold.) I have to do this shuffling of the tracks back and forth because there is an element of timing in this video. An action occurs in the green screen subject track and this must coincide with another action that is visible in the background track. And I can't move the tracks into the proper position before I adjust the low / high thresholds because I need to see both tracks together (subject in the green screen track showing through the background track) in order to play around with the timing.
Is there anything I can do to stop this green flickering that I keep getting in the finished video?
