when you have 100's of GS shots, roto is the devil.

the above plus a couple other little tricks make it a lot easier and require as little roto as possible.
#KEYLIGHT 1.2 EDGES MOVIE#
I'm currently working on a big budget movie where there are many long sequences of BS/GS where the actors are sitting in a truck or plane with and without windows and most of the windows have a ton of dirt and crap that has to be retained not to mention reflections. i then shrink/erode the key and/or blur it. usually this leaves semi transparent areas where you don't want them so you combine the alpha with a more aggressive keyer that is more solid but usually has a really sharp nasty edge. I'm also a huge fan of using multiple keyers to attack specific areas of the frame, i like using a detail keyer (as weak a key as possible to cut the BG out but maintain translucency for hair/windows/etc. the blue channel on film is usually really grainy and putting just a blur on the blue allows the detail in the red and green channel to come through without getting a lot of salt and pepper noise from the grain) you can also use erode and blur tools to modify the edges, directional blur applied to the alpha can help to smooth out hard edges where there should be motion blur. doing it this way allows you a few more options in modifying the edge detail, a nice trick is applying blur to selective color channels (ie. you're effectively trying to cheat the image to make the keyer work better, once you pull the key, the then apply the alpha that your keyer creates to the original footage (via an image mask). my favorite method is to take your original image and distort it with various color tools/brightness/contrast etc. there are a couple methods similar to this that really help yield a good result. It's very rare to get a good pull using just one keyer. Also I used animated garbage mattes and kept them pretty tight on all the footage.

I think you need to use this method no matter what keying software you use. The HD 100 isn't a good camera for keying, but I was happy I was able to get my footage looking as good as it does. By the time I added a small light wrap, and did the color correction, the footage looked good enough for what I wanted. On some areas I had to use a 3rd layer to address problems with shmutz and other edge problems. The edges were real bad so I used the simple choker and pulled the matte in 2-3 pixels then used the blur edges set at 2-3. Then I made a copy of the layer and adjusted it so there were no transparent areas. What I did was used at least two layers, the bottom layer I keyed for the edge, So the bottom layer had a lot of holes, or transparent parts, but the edges and motion blur looked ok.

Going frame by frame it doesn't look good but at full speed it isn't too bad. I still have shmutz on fast moving objects. I got the best looking footage using 30 and 60 shutter. We are all here to help and learn together.Īnd, if you really want to get into music visualization.I just finished a shoot with my jvc hd100 using green screen. Take a copy of the layer without the key and create some rough masks around the parts that have been accidentally removed. Don't be shocked if you post your masterpiece and people have a few useful suggestions for you. Use Linear Color Key (or a key of your choice) to remove the black background, and a Matte Choker to clean up the edges. As such, we encourage an atmosphere of helpful critique.
