  Masking / Cutting out an object

  Posted by Michael Paul on May 23, 2014 at 8:22 am

  So I’ve got the following scenario: A person in front of a green screen and a hole inside the green screen because it’s damaged. I am able to key the person with ultra key but of course the hole inside the green screen will be still visible. I also want to get rid of that hole. My question is: HOW?

  What I do: I use an 8 point mask and mask the person so that only the person will be visible.
  Isn’t there a way to INVERT masks in Premiere? Instead of saying: I want to see what’s INSIDE THE MASK I want to cut something out of my picture with the mask?
  As in: I just want to create a mask around the hole in the greenscreen so that it will REMOVE that hole and display what is NOT mask aka the person. I think in After Effects it would be just invert mask. I have no idea how to do that in Premiere/ where that option is hiding.

  I hope you get what I am trying to accomplish. Create a mask around the hole thus removing it instead of masking the person.

  Thanks in advance

  You can easily cut it with free plugin Creative Impatience Simple Mask.

  Maybe I’m not understanding something…

  Is the hole in the green screen in the middle of stuff that all needs to key through?
