    Hui Guys!
    I’ve done and worked with Green Screen, However I was told that working with and shooting video talent against a black screen is far easier to edit and cuts down on time. I know how to replace the background after keying out a green screen or Chroma Key, but how would I replace the black background with another graphic and not see the black background? I know some people use AE to accomplish this task, but I want to do the work in Premiere Pro. Here is an example of what I’m looking to accomplish via Premiere Pro CS6. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance! Rich

    Hi Rich,

    I watched the video (is there supposed to be sound?) and they don’t appear to be doing a “key” at all, rather they are just creating a rough mask with a feathered edge I think.

    Notice the black halo around the talent? Not a real key right to the edge of person. Limited usefulness I think, only working properly with a dark background as shown.

    “Keying” black out is called a Luma key and works the same as a Chroma key, but I don’t see where that would work with a person because eyes, hair, glasses, a belt, even nostrils are all areas that could potentially have holes cut in them with a black key.
