Green Screen keying real-time.

Hello, my boss is starting to do some green screen work. Besides little low-budget comedy skits, I don't know a professional work flow for this.
What tools (hardware/software) do I need to preview the green screen key while we are shooting. If I didn't word that correctly... While I'm shooting somebody in front of the green screen, how can I get a real-time preview of my background while shooting in real-time so I know the subject is in the right place and lit correctly.
We'll purchase moderately prices solutions or rent pricey solutions.
Thanks for your time!

  • I can't find the green screen key in the Effects menu in Adobe Premiere Elements 12

    Is there anybody who can help me were I can find the green screen key in premiere element 12. According tutorial video's on You Tube there must be a green screen key in the effects menu under keying, but with me it doesn't seem to be there.

    jajajoja
    Thanks for the reply. Glad you asked. Please check out my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte, especially for the Premiere Elements Mac users who run into this Windows Only situation.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Difference Matte As Substitute for Green or Blue Screen Key
    We are not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, I am not sure why these keying features are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
    Please review and consider the above, and, if any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Best wishes.

  • Where is the green screen key in Premier Elements 10 for Mac?

    Anybody know where the green screen key feature is?  Or how to edit green screen videos?  Plenty of tutorials on YouTube but I can't find the Green Screen effect.  Thanks.

    There are some PrE Effects, that are only available on the PC, though not for the Mac, but I do not have a list handy,
    I do not recall if Green Screen Keying might be one of them.
    Perhaps our MOD, Steve Grisettin, who is fully X-platform, can comment.
    Good luck,

  • Where is the green screen keying effect in Premiere Elements 12 for Mac?

    I have installed Premiere Elements 12 on My Mac, and I can't find the green screen keying effect in the efx window. Is this only available in the Windows version, or is it somewhere else in this version?

    Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not come with ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key.
    Videomerge is not a renaming of GreenScreen Key. It is just a substitute suggested by some for ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key that are not included in Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
    If you want a substitute for ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key, I would suggest that you look at the Difference Matte under fx Effects/Keying/.
    Please check out my how to on that.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
    It has gotten a lot of good feedback from Premiere Elements Mac users.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Green screen keying layer does not export with rest of media in apple pro res 422

    green screen keying layer doesnot export with other media in the sequence when using apple pro res 422

    You really will need to explain this a bit more carefully, pretend we have no clue what you're doing, and phrase this in the form of a question. For all we can tell, this is exactly the result you wanted and you're just telling us about it.

  • Im just wondering does adobe premiere pro cs3 have green screen key

    well im doing some comparisons before I purchase and im wondering if they had a green screen key in adobe cs3 thanks

    There is a Chroma Key effect, but it is not as good as the one in Ultra - which comes with it. Or, as good as Keylight, a part of After EFfects.

  • Isolate lips--what face paint color should I use for best green screen keying effect?

    Hello there!  I am using Elements 11.
    It sounds like I answered my question in my question.  Green, right?  But , face paint doesn't have the reflective, glossy quality that a true green screen would have.  Does that change anything?  Should I look for green face paint or would another color work better in this context? 
    Again, I'd like to isolate the lips of my subject.  The shot will be a close-up, framed to where it only includes lips, chin and nose.  Let me know if it'll help to provide a screenshot.
    One more question...  Once I've removed the background and isolated the lips, is it possible to move them around the frame discretely?  Meaning, they appear here in bottom center and then suddenly appear in upper left corner? 
    Thanks for your time! 

    Thanks for replying AT!
    I am using Mac version.  Good question since I do NOT have Chromakey. 
    To help us along, I have uploaded a number of images from a test I did yesterday.
    I am getting some results but they are imperfect.
    I do believe my main issue has to do with a lack of uniform LIGHTING.  As my subject's lips move, it creates shadows thus making it difficult for Elements to pick up the green. 
    I used Non-Red Key and then Garbage Matte to get the results that you see. 
    Thanks!

  • Difficult Green Screen Key

    I've been having a little trouble with some green screen footage and hopefully someone can provide me with some pointers. Below are the zipped file addresses:
    http://www.themgnetwork.com/sample1.zip
    http://www.themgnetwork.com/sample2.zip
    http://www.themgnetwork.com/sample3.zip
    The videos are 10 frames each and are 1920x1080 HD quicktime widescreen (square pixels) shot by a Sony XDCam. The footage is going out with an alpha to be included on a site (final composition will happen in flash), so I'm trying to pull as clean of a key as possible. The subjects will end up over a white background initially, which could change to a rendered classroom background. So, unfortunately, blending and softening with the background is out.
    In the first two samples I'm having trouble keying with the shadows and reflections. The table, table legs, and the left subject's pants are approaching the same color shades as that of the green screen and/or the shadows. I tried combining keys, but don't know the process well enough to pull a decent key from the footage. I sense that there's a way to do it successfully but it's just beyond my field of knowledge.
    In all three of the samples, the plaid-man subject on the right has a lighting problem on his left arm and shoulder. This excess light is causing him to have a partial grey shadow outline when trying to key him regularly (which is very clear over a white BG). Is there any way to circumvent/remove this?
    My email is [email protected] if you need to contact me. Any and all help is much appreciated. Hopefully this post is able to help others as well
    Cheers
    Jeff
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Okay - I had a quick go at sample 1.
    Obviously more time could be spent to make the key better, but that's your job... This is the project script and it illustrates holdout mattes, light wrap, and edge blurring... I used only the nodes that are basic to shake, but nodes like keychew can also help...
    The Cow has some tutorials on these concepts: Shake Tutorials.
    hope that helps,

  • PP2.0 suitable for green screen keying?

    Hey guys/gals,
    I have PP2.0/CS2 and AE CS2, but don't have much experience with After Effects. I'm planning a shoot involving green screen (chroma color green screen) and am doing some research. I understand PP2.0 is good with keying, but should I go the extra mile and learn how to use After Effects efficiently for this project? I have tracking and static shots planned, so I'm under the assumption it's gonna be AE all the way. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Kugar, as Harm says, PP keying is mediocre at best. If your lighting is perfect and you've gone to great lengths to avoid fringing on your subject then maybe the PP key would be OK. I recently did some in-PP keying and it was OK, but then my output medium was a small web-delivered flash file.
    I'm a big fan of Primatte, but there is a learning curve. Don't even think of attempting it without their companion PDF that comes with the software. And the render times.... yaaaaawwwnnnnn. But for less-than-perfect source footage, it does come up with the goods.
    Harm, I was under the impression that Ultra had been dropped from CS4?? Can you still purchase it from somewhere??
    Matthew
    *edit*  The Adobe website says you can purchase the software Stand Alone, but I couldn't find it in the Adobe store??

  • How to capture pc screen in real time?

    Hi, recently i have been asked to make a java program that captures the pc screen and shows it, in real time, either in the same pc or another pc over the local network. To do this program, i could easilly make one that takes multiple pics of the screen and shows them, but that would be very slow, so i was thinking of doing one that captures the video stream and shows it directly on the program. Problem is, how do i do it using Java? I have no idea, so if anyone can enlighten me on a way how to do it, i would be very thankful.
    on a side note, i have to make a new program, so i am not interested in another programs out there unless they java and open source for me to study.

    you would think i didnt need to post that huh? but in fact, i've looked around this forum to see if i find a solution and i saw not only once or twice, but a really large number of advertisements of programs u had to pay and were closed, in many different threads, so a little infatuation on the fact i didn't need one of those here seemed it would help :P
    thx for the answers, but neither of you focused on the real problem. First, i couldnt just plug the video board on another monitor because it would not be exactly what i need to do, i want the other monitor to be display its own computer system and have a manageable window in which it would show everything being done in the other computer, one i can open without having to mess with any cables. This application would be used in a ubiquitous project and messing with the cables wouldn't really fit in a ubiquitous description :P. I have tested sequenced screenshots, and it is indeed very slow, even in one pc showing the screen captures on itself, imagine over a network...
    altough it may sound premature, doing the program with screen captures seems to me to be entirelly different from doing it getting the feed directly from the video board, maybe with the exception of the little player window that would go with it. But once done, i would be more then happy to test it out and say which of the two would be better to send over the network.
    well, for what i understand, the first poster seems to say there is no way in doing it the way i was trying to do with java, so i'll probably have to get a C program to capture it then send to a java on via socket, but if anyone else out there would know anything that could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Directing fsck output to syslog and screen in real-time

    Hello,
    I have the following under Debian 6. The procedure should check and automatically repair the file system and write the result to the user's screen and also to syslog.
    #!/bin/bash
    output=`fsck -y /dev/disk/by-label/oracle-xe; retval=$?`
    logger -is "$output"The procedure seems to work, but I don't see the output until the fsck command has completed. Is there a possibility to write the output to syslog while presenting the fsck output in real-time?
    Kind regards.
    Edited by: Dude on Jan 30, 2012 6:44 PM

    I make some progress:
    outfile=/tmp/`date +%N`
    retfile=/tmp/`date +%N`
    (fsck -y /dev/disk/by-label/oracle-xee; echo $? > $retfile) | tee $outfile
    logger -i < $outfile
    retval=`cat $retfile`
    rm $outfile
    rm $retfileThe above gives me the results I was looking for
    I also tried
    logger -is "`fsck -y /dev/disk/by-label/oracle-xee`"But it the syslog output in this case is just one long line of text without any newlines
    If there is a better way, please let me know.

  • Green screen keying not working?

    Hey I am messing around with green screening and on my computer at home it was working fine.
    Now (with the same footage) at my school campus.  When I apply keying and select a color... nothing happens.
    I tried moving every slider in the inspector and some things changed (brightness/color) but the "green" never went away.
    Anyone know why this may be?

    I just tried it again on different footage that was working last week here on my school computer and nothing.
    I am running my project off of a usb 3 flash drive if that helps on final cut 10.0.9

  • Green Screen Keying and Rendering

    After I've rendered what appears to be a moderatly accurate keying for my green screen video using chroma keying and after I render random patches of green reapear in the shots and all my keying was for nothing.
    Any solutions?!?
    Thanks!

    There are many variations that can be applied to the keyer. Keep in mind that you can also keyframe the settings in the keyer.
    Without knowing anything about your footage, i could assume that you shot it in the dark and that is why you are having trouble. Is your footage well lit? With good contrast between the subject and the greenscreen? There are so many variables that it would be impossible to suggest a simple solution.

  • Final Cut green screen key in HD.  Good Enough?

    This basically is my question.  Some of this is too complicated.  I'd rather not do AE and Automatic Duck if possible.  I might have to go into my own pocket have someonee come in here and show me what to do.  I think FCP would save me time.  Would it?

    The are tons of video tuts on youtube and the web on how to use a green screen program.
    Here is a tut by Video Copilot's Andrew Kramer. Even tho it is for After Effects you can translate it over to Motion.

  • Arri ProRes green screen keying

    Hi,
    I am working on a commercial that was shot all on green screen, with an alexa. I haven't been able to get a soled key using Keylight.. I am not sour if there is a step I am missing, because the footage look very desaturated.
    Is there a spacial process that i need to follow when using ProRes footage?

    I work with a lot of Alexa footage and what you're describing sounds like the footage is LOG.  You will need to color manage your footage in order to pull a good key.  Here are the steps I usually follow:
    1.  Go into your project settings and set the working space to sRGB.  Also set the depth to 32 bits per channel.
    2.  Go into the interpretation settings for your footage, go to the Color Management tab and assign the Universal Camera Film Printing Desnsity profile.  You can copy and paste this interpretation setting onto all your other footage items in the bin that are from that camera.  Sometimes when I use this profile it causes some of the highlights to clip so I use the "Kodak 5218...." profile instead which produces a slight color shift but retains the highlights better.  (Hopefully Adobe will add an Alexa profile here sometime soon so this will be a little more accurate)
    Your footage should appear more "normal" now and you should be able to pull a good key with Keylight.  This will make your comps slower however I've found it yields the best results.  One way to speed up comp interactions is to go to the RGB button in your comp window and disable Use Color Display Management.  This will make the colors less accurate but it should speed up interactions.  I turn this back on at the end to check my color.
    What's also great about this workflow is you can use the color management to render back to ProRes4444 LOG so that your comps match the footage when it's graded.  Just look in the output module settings to set a profile.  I tend to add a second output module so I end up exporting a ProRes4444 LOG and a ProRes Proxy sRGB so both our finishing and offline departments have files that work well for them.  This workflow may not be the most technically correct way of doing this but I've had great results for hundreds of comps.  Good luck!
