replacing green screen color on FCP7?
Hello,
I have a bunch of shots i filmed with the band in front of a green screen for a music video. However for a few of the shots i am not chroma keying any images behind the band because i prefer the way it looks with just them in front of the green screen.
However i do want to change the color of the green background to say something like white or perhaps even a different color, just so it doesn’t look so obvious that they are in front of a green screen.I imagine this should be really easy to do. But for whatever reason, i just can’t figure it out!

To replace green with any other color you still need to create a key. So chroma key to a white slug or whatever color you want.

hi!
Actually I am trying to AVOID USING CHROMA KEY for this. Reason being is that these particular shots won’t chroma key well, so just wondering if there is a way to just select the green background and swap it with a white background for instance without using chroma key. Is that possible?

A key is a key.

OK, but couldn’t there be another alternative to chomakeying? i.e., a “replace color” feature whereby I select the green background with the dropper tool, and only that specific range of green color will be inputed by the computer and then from there I just select any other color to replace it with?
