  • Green Screen – Greenish shoes on green screen

    Posted by Muaz Nikolic on September 18, 2017 at 2:57 pm

    Hello,

    I have received a footage of the man that needs to be keyed out (recorded on green screen). Upper part of the body was not a problem to be key out, but he came on the set with shoes which are similar color as the background (yellowish/green) and now I am having difficulty to key this part of the video. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me with which methode I could be able to key out this footage.

    Here is the part of that video:

    Because the boots are brighter than the backing you could use a luma key to add them to the matte created using your green screen keyer.

    Hello,

    thank you both. I was hoping that I would not need rotoscoping/masking to solve this problem ☹
    therefore I would like to ask you Simon if you could tell me a little bit more about how to use luma key on this example …. I am not sure how to apply this method… Thank you in advance

    Best regards

    The simplest way is first to key the shot using Keylight but without worrying about the boot.

    Then duplicate your layer and instead of Keylight, apply the Extract filter. With this you can create a luma key for the boot, given that its luminance is greater than the backing colour.

    Make sure that luma keyed layer is above the Keylight layer and the combined result should be what you want.
