My frustration level with Combustion has completely disheartened me at this point. Such a good product, but the demo leaves the final product useless, and the $$$ is too much for me to bear to fix one shot on one film (the green saber shot) -- so if you are adept with Combustion and have the time to help (I know many of you don't have the time and I understand) here's what I need help with

1) The source video is here and is in M2V format with a .mpg extension. That's the format it needs to come back in.

2) As we determined earlier in the thread, the saber needs to have a travelling matte that follows it, and all that needs to be done is to have the color re-wired to this config:

R <- R
G <- Y
B <- G

The only potential problem is in the couple of frames where the training remote crosses in front of the saber. No idea if the rewiring will noticibly change the remote. Otherwise, it should be a fairly straightforward fix.

Anyway, I know many of you are knee-deep in other project, but any help from you video geniuses would be great.
