Will someone please explain how to produce an animation with a "Zero Black" background for keying in the studio. I am going out thru soft VTR to a JVC SVHS deck (with TBC and TC gen.) I have used "Super Black" in 3DStudio but am still having some problems. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Greg – Beck Technical

Greg, I've been getting by using the super black option and raising the ambient light to 10-20. It's not the greatest, but it keys. I'd love for there to be a way of generating negative black or being able to uniformly raise the luminance of a scene. Scott

Scott, Thanks for the tip.. I hope someone has a helpful idea. I'm just wondering what the larger animation houses are doing to make a true Zero Black background. Greg – Beck Technical
