Help with Layout Tool & Chromakey

[Bassman]

Hello,

I am trying to crop the edges of a greenscreen video clip to just have the greenscreen background area show.

When I go into the layout tool, I drag the edges and the layer below shows up and everything looks as it should.

When I hit Enter and return to editing, the area I just trimmed has black instead of the layer below showing through.

I am using Edius 4.54

Is this a bug?

It worked on set today with Edius 2.5 on my Laptop!

Thanks for your help.

Let me ask the obvious...I assume you have the Chromakey blender applied to it?

[Bassman]

Well, under the "Keyers" folder I have "Chromakey" applied to the clip.

Please let me know if there is a blend filter that needs to be used as well.

Thanks

You should be able to crop within Chroma key by enabling the Rectangle.

Hey, thanks a lot.

I did not see that part of the Chromakey interface.

You can also fade in/out using the keyframe in there too.
