Removing background from video(2)

I want to remove the background from video easily and live,
using green screen like they do in most forecasts at tv news.
(where they display the forecast map...)
Is it possible?

FCP isn't a live switcher...it is a Non Linear Editing machine. You must first capture the footage, key it, then output.

Remove background from Smart Build images

Hi,
I've just started creating my first project with Keynote, and so far it's terrific. The question I have is, is it possible to use the alpha tool, or something similar to remove backgrounds from images that I'm using for a smart builds effect.
Thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the discussions, Decaffeinated1.
The problem you're seeing is specifically with how Keynote copies images. Neither Pages nor Numbers has this problem. The problem and the solution is described here.
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=256
Basically, your choice is to copy through Pages or Numbers (or iWeb) OR to copy another object which will force Keynote to adhere to the transparency set with Instant Alpha.

Is it possible to remove blemishes from video frames with photoshop cc?

Is it possible to remove blemishes from video frames with photoshop cc?

Again, show us reference screenshots and we will advise. Otherwise this could become an endless theoretical discussion. Depending on what you want to do you can import the video directly using Layer --> New Video Layer e.g. when covering up fied spots with a brush blob on a layer on top of the footage, but you may also need to create separate layers for each frame using the Frames to Layers script so you can paint on each of them individually. There's really too much we don't know and the possibilities are potentially infinite...

Removing green background from videos (Chromakeying)

Hi,
I am currently trying to use JMF to remove green background from the videos I have recorded. I am trying to merge 2 videos ( 1 video in the background) and (this video w/green bacground removed in the foreground). Does merge.java from JMF do the job for the second part? Please help!!

Merging works only with one video sitting on top of another, but the top video positioned on the top left corner. Is there some way to have the top video positioned in the center? I am using the merge.java file from the JMF solutions. Any way to remove the green/blue background of a video using Java codes? Or is there a freeware tool to do so and then have the java program call it?

Removing background from text?

Hi All. I am a very new user to Flash and know my question is
probably extremely basic but I can't figure out what I'm doing
wrong.
I am trying to place fading text on top of an image and when
I create the animation, it places it on a white (specified)
background. The animation I have created is on its own layer. So my
question would be, how do I remove the background from my text? I
would like a transparent background so my text fades in right on
top of my image.
Right now, the initial image with falling snow starts and
about 25 frames in, it turns to white and the text fades in...how
do i get rid of the white so the text fades in and you are still
able to see the image and the falling snow?
I am very very new to Flash (3 days in) and although this is
a ridiculously easy task to perform in photoshop, I cannot grasp
how to do it in flash cs4. Thank you, in advance, for any help I
may receive. I'm trying hard to learn this medium...

Select the textfield on the stage and see if the icon remains
unselectable... if so, what version of Flash are you using (I'm
just curious if it's CS4)?
Another way to remove the textfield background/border is thru
actionscript. The textfield must have an instance name to be able
to do this. Let's say you name it tFeld. In a timeline layer for
actions, select the first frame of the actions layer where the
textfield appears on the timeline below it (I only assume it's on a
layer below somewhere) anmd type the following in the actionscript
editor window:
tField.background = false;
tField.border = false;
If none of the above works, then I have a feeling I'm
misinterpretting the scenario. I'm assuming the textfield includes
its own background at that there isn't some other background
involved that you area talking about.

Removing Audio From Video (Problem 2) !!!HELP!!!

I have succesfully managed to remove audio and add new audio to an (avi) video. However, when I tried to do the same thing with an new (mpeg) video/ soundtrack. Logic did not allow me to extract audio from video or give me the option to de-select audio tracks when bouncing. So when I extract video with audio I get the old audio track plus the new audio combined. Is it do with the video format? can I convert video formats in logic? many thanks, Ben.

open in quicktime, then click save as and save as a .mov file. This should work. Not sure why this is happening though. Let me know if this works...
Please remember the helpful and solved problem....

Removing Background From Picture Problem

I'm not an expert with Photoshop and am having a problem removing the background from the picture below. The Selected area doesn't stay within the circular cream colored area but always goes outside and fills up the whole square except for the middle hole area. How can I remove the background?

It sounds like you are trying to use something like Quick Select and maybe Refine edge. The problem is that you don't have enough contrast for the work well. You can temporarily increase contrast with a Levels adjustment layer using setting like below
Having made the selection, go back to the original layer to apply the selection.
But that is still not the best way to select with your image. The Pen tool would make a better job, but there is a learning curve in using that. You could just use the elliptical Marquee tool for the center hole. Remember you don't need to do the entire selection in one go.
lastly, you'd have made life easier if you took the photograph with the flange hanging from fishing line against a bright white BG. That's what we call the 'Shoot it Again filter'
Good luck. It soon gets easier

Removing background from plastic wrap

Hi all,
I need to remove the background from this image while keeping the straw and plastic wrap. Have looked all over for a tutorial, but no luck. Any help on how to do this would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

I guess it depends on your goal.
If you just want to change the background you might get away with just using the multiply blending mode.
If you want a seperate transparent file you could try something like this:
1.duplicate the layer
2. select all
3. edit>copy
4. add a layer mask (press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel)
5. alt click on the layer mask
6. edit>paste
7. image>adjustments>invert
8. apply the layer mask (right click on the layer mask and press apply layer mask)
9.Select>Deselect
10. Layer>matting>remove white matte
You might add a drop shadow to bring out the plastic more.

Removing background from picture

Hi I m automodeliste and I need create my own decals .My question is how can I remove the background from the picture of the real car staying only whith the text that I want.
I'm using the photoshop cs6.
Thanks

If I am understanding your question correctly you can just use the quick selection tool in the tool bar on the left side of the screen towards the top. Zoom into the image if you have to, then simply click on the image until it is highlighted by a doted line to the desired amount of image you want. Then you can do whatever you want with it. Or for a little more advanced user you can use the pen tool by point and click. Going around the image and just connecting the dots as you go. With the image completely selected by making it aroung to where you started you can then do whatever else you want. With a little practice you can even use the pen tool to make custom curves and make font follow those curves this is a very cool feature I use a lot doing vinyl decals myself. Hope this was helpful.

Removing background from line drawing

I'm desperate to find out how I can removing the background from a line drawing, leaving only the lines.

Couple of additional tricks that can help in cleaning the image before using the magic wand. Open Levels and set a white point on the background using the white point eye dropper. This can clean up some stray marks. You can also use Threshold (filter>adjustments>threshold)to better separate the lines from the background.

Removing color gradient background from video - help needed

Hello everyone,
I shot my son playing the violin against a white backdrop today, and what was pure white didn't turn out to be very white, I have gray
areas, off white areas because of incorrect lighting.
I want the background to be more white and more even than what it is right now.
I thought of moving the video from track 1 up to track 2.
I added in a title, which consists of a big box of white ( using the retangular tool I just drew a large white retangle that covers the entire movie area )
Now to remove some of that white backdrop, I thought I would try some of the tools below, to remove the real backdrop, and let the white retangle
from track 1 come through. ( so that the pure white comes through from track 1. )
I've been going through the various options,
- Chroma Key
- Color Key
- Change Color
- Change To Color
After 30 some minutes of fldding around, I thought I would just stop, and ask for help. How would you proceed with this ?
What process would you use ?
I'm just puzzled as to which tool is best suited for a job like this, because right now my results are not to my liking, and it's just hard to get anything
that looks good at all.
Thanks for all help,
Dave.

Hi Harm,
Thanks for the great response, I don't have Ultra CS3, but will look into Keylight. I'm going to try the garbage mattes and chroma key route
for now and see what I can do.
You are indeed a weatlh of info.
Thanks again,
Dave.

Removing background from a video

Hi!
I'm having trouble with my video editing in Final Cut. Could anyone tell me how to remove the background (leaving it white) over the whole video sequence? The more specific, the better...
Thanks a lot!!!

If you've already shot it then that's another story. Did you shoot it against a solid color other than white? If so there may be a way out of this, if not, then this will take a lot of time.
As noted by others you may be better off re-shooting.
To try and fix what you have will require using a garbage matte. FCP has an 8-point version, which will limit your options with moving talent. As Jim noted there are 50-point and 100-point garbage mattes available, but again as previously mentioned you will have to adjust the garbage matte for each frame.
What is this ultimate goal of this project?

Remove element from video background

Hi! I am a noob at Premiere (CS5), so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I took some video and, behind my subject, there is a picture frame that either needs to go or the people in it need to be blurred out. Can you suggest how this might be done or point me at a tutorial? I don't know what this technique might be called.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards!
-M

Welcome to the forum.
The "blurring" is probably the easiest way to handle this.
Duplicate your Clip, and place that above your original Clip. Apply one of the Blur Effects, like Gaussian Blur to that Dupe Clip, until satisfied. Also, other Effects, like Moasic, can be useful. Now, you will only see that Blurred Clip, so you will need to create a Track Matte, and this can be done with a Shape in Titler. Size it to suit the interior of the picture frame, and place it onto Video Track 3. Add the Track Matte Keying Effect to the Dupe Clip (the Blurred one), and point it to the Track Matte/Title on Video Track 3.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if one had enough blank wall, with similar lighting on it, one could pull out a section of that wall, and use it to "cover" the whole picture frame. I'd probably use Track Matte Keying on that too. Instead of Blurring, just use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to get the extracted wall section moved to cover the picture frame.

Removing Objects from Video

I have a video of a cat dancing. I would like to remove the arms of the person making her dance, so it looks like she's dancing on her own.
I'm pretty sure I have to use After Effects for this? Would this be considered rotoscope? Any advice for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch
P.s. I have included the video in question.

Here's a fun look at how rotoscoping has been done in AE over the years...
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ae-me/the-history-and-future-of-rotoscoping-in-after-effects/
And a free (home-made) you-tube tutorial demo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXlN14wyThQ
Linda.com and some other sites have much more in-depth lessons, but you have to pay for most of the good ones.
It's going to ba lot of work in any case. I did about a second-worth of rotoscoping in a personal project recently and it took me several hours to get it right. So perhaps ask yourself, "Does the world really need a nother dancing cat video?"
Seriously, anything is fine to learn with if the subject intersts you. If you really want to do a dancing cat video, play with that one a little to get the feel of it then re-shoot it in a way that will make it easier to complete, for example:
1. Shoot with a fixed camera so that you don't have to worry about camera movement in addition to the cat and your hands.
2. Shoot a seperate shot of just the background so that you can matte it in from behind (or in front) as needed.
3. Maybe wear green gloves and shoot over a green backgorund (or some other distinct solid color) and just try keying things out and animating the gaps back in with sperate images/video clips. Keying usually doesn't look as good as rotoscoping though.
4. Got any cat-colored gloves? Maybe some white gloves painted to look like cat fur? Then all you have to take out is your arms beyond the cat's body.
I know some of those ideas sound cheesy and far-fetched, but that's how movie magic was invented in the first place. It's just that now there are many really experienced creativeswith a century+ of advancements, some really high end tools (like proprietary CGI software and render farms), and lots of time and manpower that you probably don't have... so they make it look easy. But if you don't mind the end result looking a less than broadcast-perfect, you can probably get the point across, learn a lot, and have some fun in the process.
