  Is it possible to remove the background of this stock video?

  Posted by Albert Renteria on June 13, 2013 at 7:28 pm

  I wanted to get rid of the background using the colorama technique, but it’s not blown out enough.

  Is there a better way? Or is this just not a good video to remove a background from?

  That’s a relatively easy rotoscoping job.

  Ok, thanks for the reply.
  I’m fairly new to this. Are there any good tutorials on using rotoscoping to remove a background?

  See After Effects Help:
  rotoscoping introduction and resources

  But, really, if you’re new to After Effects you need to take a step back and learn the basics first. After Effects is not an application that you can just jump into the middle of. Start here to learn After Effects: https://adobe.ly/bjBT3P
