Hello all-
I head up a stock footage company (Ribbit Films – www.ribbitfilms.com) and we provide pre-keyed green screen footage for motion designers.
In light of how many artists are currently working on their reels, we are discounting our library for VFX Talk members; you can license our clips for 50% off before January 18, 2009 using this VIP discount code: VTK1Q9W

We also provide some free green screen HD footage; click on "Free Clips" on the site or go to: https://secure.ribbitfilms.com/Ribbi…_register&lid=

If you have any questions, or suggestions, or just want to talk about shooting and keying chroma key HD, feel free to get in touch with me.

I picked up the LE of Fusion just to see what it was like. I mostly do any compositing in After Effects but wanted to see what Fusion had to offer, seeing it is node based.

I’ve already finished this compositing clip in AE but wanted to try it in Fusion. However, it wont work. The renders of the bg and the character are from the same camera in Maya, set at 720×486. When I overlay everything in a 720 comp in AE, it’s perfect. However, when I do it in Fusion, my character is 50 times as big. It looks normal in both windows when they aren’t merged.

I gave as much info as I could in this jpg. Could anyone tell me maybe why the character is fitting so big overtop of this bg? I noticed the pixel aspect ratio looks different in the bg loader but Im not sure why as its a 720×480 image… I can’t figure out what the problem is. Thanks.

Must be fluent in art of breaking stuff (dynamics, particles, ect). 3DSMax (Rayfire) a plus but Maya/Houdini also acceptable. Ideal candidate would have experience dealing with integration of live action and cg plates. Send links to reels and resumes to chill@d-kitchen.com
