Long Problem.

Ok this thing has been bothering me for a while now and has almost indefinitly haled this particular AMV of mine.

Ok I wish i could do the PC screenshots of my PC to show u exactly but i dont know how so i'll just make a really detailed explanation.

[sighs] this is gonna be long.

Ok here's the thing I have a a video clip on my timeline now i'm trying to make my video clip play "chromed" (like a silverish - whitish - grayish - blackish type chrome style) ok so i place my video clip on the time line right click on my video and click Video Options.

Now in Video Options I click

Key Type: Chroma

Similarity = 100
Blend = 0
Threshold = 0
Cutoff = 100
--------------------
Chroma = White
And the box that is under the sample picture that has the black and white divided by a slash is highlighted.

Mask Only = unchecked
Smoothing = None
--------------------------------

And those are my settings in Adobe Premiere 6.0 now it looks fine in the preview but when exported the selected "chromed" seen is just black. Like all there is just black nothing else.

Any Help WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Thanks.

Chroma does not make it look chrome! It is a transparency mode that causes stuff to appear transparent.

oh shit!

Well then is there any way in Adobe Premiere or another Video Editing Software to achieve a "chromed" type effect as described in my prior post.

If you're lucky enough to have a copy of Prmeiere 5.1 lying around, you can import any photoshop filters you have and then you could use the Emboss filter. Premiere 6.0 doesn't accept photoshop filters though, so that's why I say you have to use 5.1. Just load up a clip, apply the filter, render it uncompressed and throw it back into the timeline in 6.x that you're using now. What's great is you can even keyframe the filter in 5.1 so you could have your light source moving or whatnot to make it look even cooler!
