  • Adjust a blurred greenscreen from green to black

    Posted by Andreas Ruso on May 13, 2020 at 11:43 am

    I have a greenscreen in the distance which is blurred out. I need to adjust the screen from green to blackish. Like if the screen are turned off.
    I used keylight, but the result of the keying was not good enough, so i hope there is a easier way to turn a green color to black.

    I thought hue and saturation would do the trick, but i dont get it dark enough, only light grey.
    Any other ideas or tools which will help me out?

    Thanks

    or any good tips/tutorials of blurred greenscreens. I find this hard, and deadline closing in.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Try using the advanced spill suppressor to remove the green. This may result in a gray color instead of black, but you could also create a spill map using Channel Mixer in monochrome mode, set the Red-Green to something high like 200 and set the Red-Red and Red-Blue to negative numbers. I usually start at -100 and adjust as needed from there.

    Or you could use keylight to create this matte for color correction.
