  • Chroma Keyer question

    Posted by Joao Souza on July 3, 2012 at 10:51 am

    Guys is there a way to save a clip without green screen background but keeping it transparent?
    Just like in photoshop, I delete background and save it as PNG, having a transparent background.
    This way I don’t need to keep using chroma keyer effect cause I already deleted green background.
    Thanks 😉

    Yes, save it in the Quicktime PNG format, that way all
    transparency will be saved for you to use again without keying.

    Yes, you can save the clip with an Alpha channel. This requires that you use a codec that supports 32-bits or that you render uncompressed using 32-bits. I like to use the QuickTime Animation codec when I need to preserve the alpha channel of animations that I make in After Effects. You can also use QuickTime to save as PNG using a compression depth of 32 bpp color and preserve the alpha channel as well.

    The only Quicktime I see is = Quicktime7(*.move).
    There’s nothing about Quicktime PNG.

    You’ll have to create your own template. I have a tutorial on my web site on how to create an Avid DNxHD template for QuickTime. Just select PNG as the video format and you should be all set. Here is the tut:
