Color keying, also known as chroma keying, lets you shoot a foreground
scene and insert it into virtually any background; this can save you money
and allow you to create shots that are impossible or highly dangerous to
take as a single shot. For it to be effective, the key is in the details.
In this course, Mark Christiansen shows how to produce
feature-film-quality keys in After Effects that fit well within their new
scenes, while retaining the subtle detailsùbe they strands of hair or
soft or translucent edgesùthat make the results believable.
Beginning with a brief explanation of the keying process, Mark takes you
through the steps involved in creating a perfect green-screen key:
generating a rough matte, eliminating color spill and matte lines, and
refining problematic edges. He shows how to work with Keylight and
Primatteùtwo indispensable keying tools in After Effectsùand explains
when to use one over the other. And for times when green screen won't
work, he shows how to generate high-contrast mattes, or luma keys, based
on the luminance data in your footage. Last, learn about compression and
how to prep a shot for keying.
Topics include:
* What is color keying?
* Using garbage mattes
* Getting started with Keylight
* Understanding the Screen Color, Clip Black, and Clip White adjustments
* Eliminating spill with Advanced Spill Suppressor
* Using Key Cleaner to refine edges automatically
* Dividing a matte with holdout mattes
* Breaking down a complex color key
* Creating a luma key with Extract
* Setting up sky replacement
* Using Refine Soft Matte to improve edge detail
* Feathering edges with Channel Blur
* Knowing when to avoid green screen
* Prepping a shot for keying
