Keylight is confused because the hair is so soft that it's not sure what is transparent and what's not. As you zoom in and use the H key on your keyboard, ( the hand tool to move around), you can see that some refinement is needed around the edges of the subject.Īnd now when you play it back, you can see that there's this awful chattering animation around the hair. Use the dropper tool to select the key color and try to select a medium green color, one that's not too dark or not too bright, and choose it closer to the hair of our subject. Drag and drop this on to the video clip and now from effect controls you can see that all three effects are applied.For now, just turn off the key cleaner and make sure that the advanced spill suppression is off as you will focus on the key light effect first. You can apply the key light effect by itself but instead choose the preset which also includes the key cleaner and the advanced spill suppression. Next you will go to Effects and search for Key Light. You can get 15% off BorisFX products with my code: premieregal2020 Working With Keylight ( 3:27 )
You can also use it Mocha Pro with Premiere Pro. Mocha, by BorisFX which is built into after effects.
Tip: If you're dealing with a more complex shot, you may want to use another advanced tracking software called. Once you get all the way around, close it off and now you have your mask. If you want to make a curved line, you're just going to click & hold and It will make a curved line which you can adjust.
Begin by going to the pen tool and clicking around your subject. By creating a mask, you are isolating the part of the green screen that the person is in. So the first step is creating a mask around your subject. Today you can read all about removing green screen & spill within Adobe After Effects and we’ve included the video time-codes next to each step. Now you may be wondering, why not use Premiere Pro for this? Great question! The Keylight tool in After Effects is superior to the Ultra key effect in Premiere Pro because the effect gives you more control and it includes other some effects to produce a more realistic key. Fear not! There is a way to work through this difficult challenge with a few tools and presets within Adobe After Effects. After removing the green screen you might end up giving the subject a really bad haircut that does not look natural at all. This task can be particularly tricky because the green screen is tangled or mixed within hair.
And finally, I'll show you how to embed the transparency data into your video layers by rendering things out, if you decide you want to create video with an embedded alpha channel, or an image sequence.One of the most difficult tasks when working with a Green screen is working around hair. Photoshop offers a rich suite of tools, and we can do things such as create a layered file for 3D extrusion, or work with things such as advanced depth-of-field blurring. We'll then explore processing backdrops using Adobe Photoshop. While there are great tools built in to the Adobe suite, there are times that you might turn to some third party tools, but I want to show you a couple of options to give you some additional results. We'll also explore two third party keyers. We'll even enhance the shot using 3D lights to relight the scene, and I'll show you how to key some of the worst footage I've ever had to tackle. We'll tackle things like removing spill and making a better key so you get color matching between the foreground and background plates. This offers many advanced options that will give you even better results. Then, we'll move onto the visual effects tool, Adobe After Effects. And we'll even create a basic key, so you can get some hands-on practice. We'll explore how to use things such as the Ultra Keyer effect, which is built in, and how to refine it to get the best results. This will be quite useful if you're a video editor, or even if you're just looking to roughly lay out the footage and determine which shots you're going to use. To start things out, we'll work with keying inside of Adobe Premiere Pro. And, we'll also explore other options such as interpreting the footage so it comes in correctly. For the most part, this is going to be with the media browser, but there are times that you will use the Import command as well. When should you work in Premiere Pro, and when should you work in After Effects? Then, we'll explore how to import your footage into your project. First up, we'll talk about deciding where to key your footage. In this course, we have a lot of different skills that we're going to cover. We'll use Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing, Adobe After Effects for visual effects, and Adobe Photoshop to prepare background plates.
In fact, we're going to jump into three pieces of software. Hi, my name's Rich Harrington, and in this course, we're going to be exploring a green screen workflow using Adobe software tools.
