Keyed out green screen exports dark

Report · Oct 22, 2021

Hello- I'm working on an AE project that combines animation and video. The video was shot in front of a green screen and I keyed it out and used rotoscoping to that video, which worked just fine. The project looks perfect on my screen but when I output (18 times with different settings), I only see a dark result. I also tried exporting to PremierPro and I got: Video Filter Missing: AE.Keylight 906...if that's a clue. I tried AME, mostly on H.264 with various settings and the Render Queue too. The only output that somewhat worked was from the Render Queue (pic5), attempt #3: QT DV NTSC 48khz. It was too blurry and skipped frames but I could see everything.

Pic 2 & 3 are details of the video/bottle precomp with the Keylight effect.

Pic 4 is one AME output attempt.

Pic 1 is the way it's supposed to look, while pic 6 is the actual export from AME.

I would be very grateful for any advice! Thank you! Paola

I found the solution! I went to Render Queue, under Animation and used AppleProRes. That's all, I didn't click on Alpha Only, just RGB, Millions of colors. Thank you anyway!
