  Green Screen

  Posted by Bryanisfishing on April 14, 2005 at 2:39 am

  How does the green screen effect work in after effects. I can’t seem to locate it.

  Also I want to create a siloutte effect. How do I accomplish that.

  For chromakeying you’ll need the Professional Version of AE. If you have 6.0 Pro or 6.5 Pro, Keylight is also included as a separate installer from the CD. Keylight is one of the best tools for chromakeying in After Effects IMHO.

  Keylight is the best, but the stock keyer is the filter called “Color Key”.

  All the filters are covered in the manual.

  To make a sihlouette, after keying out your greenscreen, add a hue/sat and kill all the color, then add a levels and crush down the levels till the image is almost black. If you want some detail ala the ipod ads then don’t crush down on the levels so hard.
