Green Screen - Background problem v12.07


storm

Recommended Posts

When I'm using the green screen tool the background always starts delayed, causing the video I'm green screening to start with a black background or the background of the clip before it for a few seconds then the background video catches up.  Then the background of the green screen on vid track 1 freezes for a few seconds at the start and the end and when I export the video all of it applies to it which doesn't help at all.  This is version 12.07.

Under OPTIONS | DISK tab Clear Unused Cache Files.  Also confirm that the video driver and Direct-X are current...

It's clean here on a test project in 12.07.  Take a few minutes to share your project and someone will check it out. 

The process is easy, quick and can be done privately.  Just follow these steps...

  •     Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left.  Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER.  Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
  •     Upload ---  Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER.    Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. 
  •     Get link --- Get a public link.  If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" 
  •     Share ---     Click COPY LINK | DONE.  Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me.  It won't be shared.

          *    Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES.  Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.

@storm : Same problem here, and even worse, the exported video is flickering green. I already sent a bug report with a demo project to NCH. This bug occurs since version 11.x, that's why I still use v10.43 (even though this version also has some minor bugs).

I'll probably download that version if i can't fix the problem.

In recent VP versions, here's something to try...

Go to OPTIONS | EDITING tab and in the Advanced | Video Processor drop-down choose None (CPU only).  Check back if that makes a difference.

An I3 processor is okay for basic projects, but can be a pain for more extensive work.

Search the Net for "PCs for video editing."  It's resource intensive so hardware makes a big difference.

Try the current Videopad 64-bit release.  For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date.  After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest.  Retain your old install file and registration info.

Share the project that has the problem, and someone here will check it out.   The process is easy, quick and can be done privately.  Just follow these steps...
