    Posted by Gillian Ryan on March 24, 2010 at 1:33 pm

    Hello,

    I am using a green screen for the first time in Avid Media Composer and I figured out how to add my background ok but there are two areas that are a bit shaky. I can’t figure out how to make it stop? Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another effect to add to make the background perfect? Or close to perfect?

    Thanks in advance for any and all help!

    Not sure I’m following you. You can use the space bar to stop.
    Are you using spectramatte to key?
    Color drop the green screen (you are on the top video layer, right?) then tweek the peramters as needed. If you advance it to 3D, you’ll have a little more control over edges, ect.

    If spectramatte cant handle it, keylight in AE is wonderful. You can use a simple color key to get rid of most of the bknd then use keylight for the rest (less processing).

    I’m trying the spectamatte and the problem is my video has a woman with a bunch of skin care products sitting in front of her on a desk. She looks fine but, behind the products there is this shaking. I’m not sure if it’s because there is a bit of a shadow or what? Is there anyway to fix a specific area? When I try to take out the shadow it takes away the outline of the product too much.

    Thanks !!!

    Also- what is the keylight you were refering to before?

    Can you post a video of what’s happening? I’m not entirely clear what you mean by shaking.

    Keylight is a chromakeyers that’s included with After Effects. It’s pretty good, but if you don’t have After Effects you won’t have Keylight. Do you have After Effects?

    You can stack the video layer and use animatte to cut out any problem areas.
