I have scenes where I want quadrants on the screen with simultaneous
video playing in each. I want to have these quadrants bordered with
black bars separating them, kind of like a "Woodstock" effect. I've
tried creating a Keyed Track Matte with a photoshop file that has the
border segments laid out so that the appropriate video segments will
show through a Black Video superimposed clip. But the feature is
extremely buggy and only works periodically. It works great in a test
project with minimal files, but in my actual project with 6 video
tracks, putting the matte at the top (Video 6) doesn't work reliably.
When I instead try and create an image file that just has black border
bars that I can lay on top of the images showing through, the blacks
never come out as true black on the finished DVD, they look grey. The
only way I've been able to get real black black is using the Black
Video generation within the program or with Titles.
What's the best way for me to accomplish the effect I'm looking for? Is
there something I'm missing in Photoshop that would make these graphic
images true, true black? I've made them grayscale images with RGB
0,0,0, and Brightness brought down to -255. And they look great on my
computer's preview monitor, black as hell. But once they're on the TV
screen viewed from a DVD, they are grey.
Any ideas?
