Tip for chroma keying.

Hi
I am on CS6.01 and have a greenscreen clip. I have used the 16 point garbage matte and the croma key filters to remome the green background.
There are still some dark green spots left because of my somewhat bad lightning setup, even after keyframing the garbage matte, so it moves according to the persons movements.
If I turn up the similarity higher, I start getting "holes" elsewhere, which I rather do not want.
I was thingking if it would be possible to export this clip including the keying as f.ex. UT/AVI with maximum renderquality, reeimport this clip and put another chroma key filter on the "last" spots, which are quite similar in colour, to make them go away, or could I even drag this sequense into another new sequense and add the new chroma key to this one?
Thanks for any input on this issue.

Well I just tried the "drag seq. into a new seq." and it worked like a charme.
Love Premiere

  • Plug-in or 3rd party for Chroma keying with DV footage

    We shoot Betacam SP, captured to DV with a DSR-45P DV/DVCAM deck.
    From what I learn on the web, green is preferred if you edit on DV, due to the color sampling. (4:1:1 for PAL?).
    However, it also depends on what background you have. Use green if you are in the forest, use blue if you are at the beach. Sort of.
    The built-in chroma keying in FCP is OK, but not more than that. What do you recommend using?
    I've found the dVMatte from www.dvgarage.com - is it good?

    Just for DV media, the AdvantEdge plug-in from Ultimatte has a preset. It has a resampling method for 4:1:1 (or 4:2:0 if PAL) media like DV.
    Take a look:

  • Photoshop images for chroma key background smaller than frame size??

    Hi Guys can anyone help.
    New to Final Cut Express. Putting together a project with Chroma Key and creating backgrounds in Photoshop. Creating PAL D1/DV 768x576 images. importing into final cut and image will not fit frame. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any suggestions please? Thanks

    Those numbers are for square pixel image sizes not for D1 pixels. Use those numbers for a flat image or one without transparency using square pixels.

  • Good chroma keying app for ipod 4g?

           Does anyone know of a good app for chroma keying (or green screening) on the ipod touch 4g? I have seen like ten or so, but was wondering if anyone here has used one that they really like?
           Also if anyone knows of a good video editing app for ios? I was really dissappointed in imovie, i knew it wouldn't be like the mac version, but no editing of backround music, no choseing your own transition just using them transition for the whole video, and same w/ text!

    Any ideas?

  • Chroma Key object creates only an apha channel when a second object is blended

    Hi there,
    I try to use the chrome key effect to have a person speaking in front of a background.
    So I have 2 objects.
    Video 1 = background (jpg-image)
    Video 2 = video object edited with chrome key effect.
    Layering both levels I see the background with the alpha channel of the second layer on top.
    If I decative the first level (Video 1 = jpg image) I can see the videoclip with the transparent backgound.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Can anybody help me with that issue?
    Looking forward for ideas...
    Thanks from Germany!
    Tom

    Ultra key is the best choice for chroma keying.
    Video with ultra key set on higher layer. In Your  Effects Control Tab , the Opacity Settings value should at 100 with the blend mode set to normal.
    Ultra Key (UK) set up should be listed beneath the Opacity & Time Remapping settings. Use the color picker in UK to select the green in your source clip.
    Then fine tune settings. I like setting UK's output the Alpha when I am adjusting the quality of Key, then back to composite for preview and normal viewing.
    You can prep the footage for keying with fast color corrector, boosting the chroma saturation and heightening the contrast(watch out for over bright whites) a little bit.
    Still image on lower layer with no keying added and opacity blending on normal.

  • Question about Chroma Key Lights

    Any kind of light for chroma key background will be alright?? I guess shopping to wal mart would be ok? Let me know.

    ummmm, not likely.
    You should have a VERY even spread of light across the chroma background, plus a good backlight to seperate your subject from the background as well as good front light on your subject.
    Flourescent bulbs are great for even spread, but you should really try to get bulbs balanced for tunsten or daylight. There are filters/gels that can be used with consumer florescents, but even then you may get some tinting of your color spectrum.
    Have you ever shot chroma? If you do not shoot it properly, you'll have nightmares in post.
    You can place your lights above the camera line for talent, above the talent for chroma and above the chroma back at talent...(These can be more directional so you don't flare out your lens)
    There are optimal lux values you should try to achieve, but I'll let others be more specific.
    That said, I'll bet someone will chime in and tell how they did it with WalMart lights...I'm just offering a suggestion that might make it easier in post.

  • Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac?

    Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac?  If not, what are the alternatives?

    JimbobT
    ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, and BlueScreen Key are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
    Some suggest Videomerge as the alternative. I do not. But Videomerge is not THE alternative.
    Instead, I prefer the Difference Matte as a substitute for the 3 absent keying effects. Please check out my blog post on that which includes
    the how to.
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
    The suggestion has met with good results according to the feedback that I have gotten to this.
    I am strictly a Premiere Elements Windows user who does not prefer Videomerge even in Windows.
    Please review, consider, and let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.

  • Which is better for the keying (chroma key)..?

    for using chroma key and blue/green screen, which is better, final cut pro or final cut express. Im new with this I dont have either or am familar with either...Also, is dvMatte Pro or whatever from http://www.padd.com/dvg/prod/prod.php?prod=dvmattefcp&view=dvg a plugin for final cut? Does Final cut not already have the keying feature? Why would I need that plugin (if it is a plugin)?

    no matter what you're talking about (except price), FCP is better for everything. basically, FCE is a watered down version of FCP. the differences depend on what you want to do with it. but as far as keying, they are relatively the same. after looking at dvmattepro's site, I can't seem to figure out what it is, but the only conclusion I can come to is a plugin that saves you time keying. yes, keying will take a lot of time in FCE/FCP, and it is tricky to get right, but you don't need anything that final cut doesn't give you. check out apple's product descriptions (and numerous discussions on this forum) for details about FCE vs. FCP, or about keying.

  • Best chroma key plugin for FCP7???

    I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Motion and would like to know what is the best chroma key plugin.
    I've heard of DV Matte, Adobe Keylight, and Red Giant's Primatte Keyer Pro, but have no idea which one to get. Personally, I would prefer to stay in the Final Cut/Motion environment as I am more familiar with their interface than with After Effects.
    Thanks in advance for any advice,
    - Nick

    there is a very good keyer in Motion; its free and you have it
    the best; well thats Ultimatte:

  • Reco for 3rd party Chroma-keying software (Ultimatte or better)

    Does anyone have any experience of working with Ultimatte AdvantEdge Chroma Key Software? I'm looking for something that will key nicely in post and perform better than the built-in doo-dah in our beloved FCP (not that there's anything too wrong with that). Meanwhile footage-wise, everything is stunningly lit (flat where it should flat, even where it should be even, excellent color temperature, etc). It couldn't be shot any better. God, it is soooo beautiful. And the costumes, simply breathtaking... wonderful color balance and choices. This was shot and designed by true creative geniuses.
    But I digress. So, if anyone has an info about Advantage or any other chroma-keying software drop me a note.
    Oh, and please no "should ofs" I'm just the bleedin' editor. And by the way... did I mention the footage is stunningly beautiful?
    Thanks

    I have five keyers including Ultimatte, which is pricey.
    I prefer dvmatte pro from dvxgarage, which isn't pricey

  • What is the best chroma key software for a Mac?

    I have the lighting, the green screen...all I need now is the software. I'm led to believe there is a better program than Photoshop for use with chroma keying...I just need some suggestions! Anyone?

    If you're doing stills and not working in video Photoshop will be more than adequate for what you need. But, unless you're going to drop your subject onto a greenish sort of background, I would stay away from greenscreen and go for a tone that will give you contrast around your subject and a color that is in the same vicinity of what you're going to be using later. Unless you really know what you're doing, and often when you do, you are bound to get some degree of wraparound from the background, and if that wraparound is green, it will only complicate your project.
    Having done more of these projects that I care to think about or even remember, take my advice... or not.
    The masking tools built in to Photoshop CS5 are really pretty good now. That's what I would use, but if you don't have the latest version or haven't mastered them yet, there are several third party masking programs you can try. Fluid Mask, MaskPro and Ultimatte Knockout come to mind. Ultimatte was the tool of choice for a long time but has suffered from zero support or updating from Corel. The other two offer 30 day trials. Have fun.

  • Multicam editing multiple chroma key background

    hi,
    I'm shooting and editing interviews with 3 cameras with a Chroma Key green screen.
    Cam 1 - Wide angle shot, showing both the interviewer and the guest.
    Cam 2 - The interviewer
    Cam 3 - The guest
    Now I need to do a multicam sync based on audio.
    Then I have applied keyer effect to each and gets perfect chroma keying for each camera and had no problem editing using Angle Viewer.
    Now my problem is ALL the backgrounds in Cam 1,2,3 are the same. It looks kind of weird.
    How do I sync different background to each of the Camera with Chroma keyer and Multicam editing?
    Is there a way to link a different background to each camera?

    The original footage is meaningless. You've said you got the clips after the key was pulled so you're looking at a self-contained movie with an alpha channel.

  • Alternative to Chroma Key?

    I'm trying to find the simplest way to remove the background from video footage. I have a green screen but the models outfit is mainly green and blue. I haven't shot the video yet so I'm looking for either a better way to film this or to edit it.

    The only alternative to a chroma key is rotoscoping. The new Roto Brush does a good job of removing the pain of roto on some shots, but on others you have to do the tried and true method.
    More tips on rotoscoping here: Managing and animating shape paths and masks
    Resources on the Roto Brush here: Roto Brush in After Effects
    That being said, there are things you can do to make chroma keying a shot like this easier. Lighting is one thing that will make a world of difference.
    Keying tips here: >Greenscreen and Bluescreen Checklist
    One specific thing that might help is a really tight junk matte: Creating Super Tight Junk Mattes
    Is there any way to change the wardrobe of the model?
    What kind of green and blue are we talking? And what sort of fabric?
    What does the rest of the model look like? I've known folks to use a red screen (or some other color) when shooting green or blue objects. I mean, if your model isn't human or is wearing a lot of makeup, you could push it to make it far enough from red.
    Anyway, like any composite, you're likely to need to use a number of techniques to get it right.
