Those look like the crosses that are produced but = the AE 3D tracker to me=85 does any of your AE footage have a track = applied?

I'm getting these little crosses in = zero black areas using Magic Bullet Looks on an Adjustment Layer. =

Here's a screen grab:

I'm = getting this in Pr 601, MacPro3,1, 10.7.4, Quadro 4000. The footage is = ProRes4444 recorded from = Arri+Cinedeck


This is some = interaction with the Pr Levels effect on each clip, where I've taken the = linear footage, and expanded the black (and white) levels to = 0-100.

Turning off GPU in Looks prefs gets rid = of them, but then rendering takes 10x as long. I pasted my timeline = from Pr into Ae. Applied MBL to an Adjustment Layer, and the problem = does not repeat in Ae.

I deleted the first = instance of MBL in Pr, and applied a fresh Looks setting. The crosses = come back, but much tinier, even with no changes made in the MBL = GUI.

I tried trashing Looks prefs, Pr prefs, = reboot, reinstalled CUDA and nVidia card drivers. This only started = recently after using Looks with the same setup ever since CS6 came = out.

I have discovered a workaround, but it's = not perfect. If I set each instance of the (RGB) Black Output Level on = the source clips Levels Effect to 1 instead of 0, the crosses go away. =

I surmise this is perhaps a sub-black warning = in Looks? I'm wondering why I haven't seen it before, and why I don't = see it in Ae, even if I force the black in the source clip to less than = zero, followed by MBL.

I believe that Pr = doesn't allow sub-black, but Ae does. This may be why I can't repeat = this issue in Ae.

Thanks,
