Advanced Green Screen Keying in After Effects
Advanced chroma key tutorial for After Effects. Extended course: gum.co/mxrrg.
00:00 Intro
01:12 Overview
07:32 Step 1 - Alpha Matte
17:56 Step 2 - Chroma / De-Spill
27:23 Step 3 - Compositing Tips
30:14 Super-Advanced Course Details
32:57 Advanced Chroma Key Course Trailer
More info at: www.advancedchromakey.com/
Learn the secrets of advanced keying with alpha extraction and color correction / de-spill techniques for After Effects. Don't just use 1 instance of Keylight, an advanced spill suppressor, and call it a day. Get fine tuned control over both your detailed alpha plate (fine hair detail, and semitransparent areas) as well as custom de-spilled chroma plate (recolor green and blue screens to match foreground colors). By separating the process into its components, you get much more fine-tuned control and more professional results. Best of all, this tutorial is FREE!

I'm an independent filmmaker, editor and VFX artist, and while learning some advanced chromakey techniques in Nuke and Fusion for a music video I directed, called "White Lies," I discovered so much that translated to an After Effects workflow that I thought I'd share. I tried to make the tutorial I wish I found at the start of my journey.

    This will hopefully be all completely unnecessary to learn very soon thanks to AI. The video is of course very impressive, but only useful for people that work in that field already. For me, a musician who wants to do music video tutorials using a green screen, it is way too advanced. Great job though!

    solid walkthrough, i tried this with composite brush tho. did wonders. finally can do a complex hair key in one session!. also for green spill removal by lumetri tried to select the neutral skin tone first so that i dont mess with it and lifted green to the parallel positon mark which is considered neutral for lumetri range.

    I am only an editor and never ised after FX . Does your course need a basic knowledge of keying and layers in adter FX . i need it to be after fx for dummies . I may be doing a TV. Show o willbe the director producer. It's set in the 1960s .no way can i do t this with out green screen . So i need to be very familiar with it to make sure my after fx guy is not bull ass hottong me haha . I want to know how to get the best results as quickly as possible .

    Question: Im shooting a film that requires my actors to be in deep focus backed by greenscreen background that needs to out of focus. How do i key my background if its going to be out of focus. I read that I could shoot the film with out using deep focus or focus pull and that premier pro can manipulate the depth of field in the shot to unfocus the background after its been keyed. idk, I'm really struggling to solve this problem. thanks

    Followed the AE tutorial and was blown away, but ran up against limitations (with my footage) that made the potential power of Resolve that much more intriguing. Decided to splurge for the course. Three videos in and I already have a better idea of what Resolve can do to make a fantastic key (and some pointers for future shoots), that I have after wasting time weeding through the overhyped UA-cam tutorials out there. It's wonderful not to have to slodge through all the instant gratification stuff for people content with a half-baked result, only to find out most of those other tutorials have nothing to share past an enthusiast-level key. Len, you knocked this out of the park, if not out of the Milky Way. Also, I went looking for the music video before going for the tutorial and was blown away when I realized it was a projection mapped miniature I'd been looking at all this time. I can make it out in spots now, but you had me fooled for a LOT longer than I thought.

    This is awesome! I did try this on blonde hair step for step and got some dancing noise on the transparent edges of the blonde hair though. How do you fix that? BTW The alpha add trick is sweet, huge help!

    • @advancedindievfx
      @advancedindievfx Рік тому

      Blonde on green is had because the yellow of the hair is so close to green. That said, play with the balance slider and possibly add a step in the alpha pass: combine 2 keys for the “soft matte” one that gets most of the way there and a separate one (you can tune differently) for the fluttering areas. Rinse and repeat.

  • @karimvfx8806

    so we still need to use other software than after effect to get decent keyer like Davinci resolve etc. so why don't we just use nuke for both keying and compositing? , i appreciate the tutorial but i though i would be able to do all in AE without problems...

    • @advancedindievfx
      @advancedindievfx Рік тому

      Back when I originally made this tutorial Nuke didn’t have an affordable license (cheapest was like $1,200 for 3 months, now you can get it for $500/year on an indi license which is on par with creative cloud subscription). If you’ve got Nuke use nuke!

    an alternative to your hard matte boundary technique is using vector blur on a luma matte!

  • @UnDo75
    @UnDo75 2 роки тому

    I would say that the whole method of matching the foreground color of your character by tracking shape of the same color under the edge can be as easy as one click solution if you use a plugin from revision effect called re:fill alpha. It basiclly extend the color of your keyed character(or whatever you key) then you use your track matte and voila! You could have use a distortion effect of some sort( I use saphirre distort set to fine) to blow you keyed character then use track matte. Anyway impressive job!

    Just beginning my AE learning journey, and using some other tutorials I attempted that initial "beginner's method" you showed at the beginning, complete with just shrinking down to try and remove the green halo. Was wondering how in the world they made it look so flawless in movies, and figured I'd always be dealing with that halo because I just didn't have enough room to take away that green reflection (or something). Then I started watching this, and had a glorious lightbulb moment when you began explaining how it was done. Thank, you, my friend -- I can't wait to apply what I've learned here.
