I selected a clip from PDR
Opened in CDR
In Regional Adjustment tools, select Motion tracking mask
Using brush, select what requires tracking and mask the rest
Convert this mask selection into a green screen
Export/Back to PDR

Most of the Mask selection works, but there are patches of green screen missing. I put the clip back into Colordirector and patched up the missing green screen bits, exported/back buttoned to PDR and still have patches. Tried multiple times but doesn't 'seem to produce a clean output.

Is there any issues with PDR16 and CDR6 talking to each other?

Basically what I tried to do is what explained in this video -

What it is suppsed to look like.

2. Halfway working

3. What I'm seeing for 1 frame. Most frames are good, but 1 frame is patchy. Tried multiple times to fix in CDR but doesn't feed it through back when I put back into PDR

Go frame by frame in CD tio adjust the motion mask. It is possible that you are using an interlaced video that caused the problem.

Sad thing is I did do frame by frame, motion masking isn't that good to track haha
What you see is what I've done frame by frame but that 1 frame that I isolate and fix, export back to cdr, it still doesn't show the fixes I made.

Not sure what interlaced is, but this is 4k footage xavc 100mbps.

I get it. What I am thinking is that the frame rate of your videos do not match the frame rate you set in preferences before you started the project. An example of this is when your source is at 60 frames per second but you set 24 or 25 fps in the Preference/General. This means only every 2 frames or less instead of every frame get masked in CD.

That makes sense.
Timeline is 24 but source is 4k30.

What do you suggest is a solution?

You were right.

I had to change from 24 to 30fps timeline. Do the masking again, and once done, change timeline back to 24fps. Boy it was tedious.

Does premiere pro/fcpx does this a bit more accurately? Just curious. I've seen some Ytube videos and they don't seem to have this much trouble doing the same thing.
