Moonz it would help if you gave us what the comp size should be, being that you used a retarded aspect ratio.

Cool test, batkins.

Are you actually working on some project or are you just testing out your new glows for your own pleasure? Because I would wonder why a gifted person like you would waste his talent with doing about nothing. lol
Not at the moment but I might be doing some glows/colors for this fan film but that's going to be for a while. I have been looking for some work to do, glows/colors, some rotoscoping. The LCC4, If some one did the rotoscoping already and if there not to good at glows/colors, I could help. These test are just to get good glows/colors.

Is there another a way(not with a mask) to get rid of these white dots on the grenn\blue screens?

I've got Pinnacle Composite wizard, which comes with a plugin for removing bluescreen dots. It's a few hundred dollars though. You could also track a blue masked solid onto each of the markers, then key them in conjunction with the bluescreen. But you'll still need to mask or paint when the actors pass over the dots.



laugh Kaat, that's great!

In my opinion, the colors look a little too intense and the green has a ton of saturation. Ryan v. Brandon sabers were also a little intense, hehe.

I'm working on that.. happy
