Advise me with Chroma Keying in Sony Vegas!!!!
I am trying to Chroma Key in Sony Vegas. My background isn’t 100% level lighted so I used the eyedropper tool to select the range of lighted area behind me. But I can’t slide the low/high thresholds in such a way to make me all white and the background all black in mask mode. I even tried to use secondary color corrector to make the background color more uniform, but no luck.
The sample footage is about 30 seconds long is at https://wheretolive22.com/test1.mpg
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Wouldn’t “Show mask” get the effect you want? Or only show mask, or something to that effect?

Check out this excellent tutorial.

Just used myself the Chroma key filter in BorisFX….

The Chroma Key in Boris FX is really awesome indeed, the “green” preset was already spot on for my green screen, no adjustments needed 😛

I tried the trial version of Boris Continuum and it does seem to work really well. I also just found this article to make the Vegas one work better, and it does seem to be pretty good. The key action is to make the green screen more prominent by using the secondary CC filter. Of course, Boris has much better matte controls.
So just a thought, try this as well:

I appreciate all your thoughts but
1) The tuturial you suggested (both are the same) didn’t work for me.
2) Boris costs over $500. I really want to get the Sony Vegas chroma keying, which I already have, working on its own. It should be able to work.If any of you want to try the sample file from my original post and tell me if you find a way to do it, let me know.
Thanks

Your sample file is really poor quality.
Is that the source footage? -
Yes. What’s wrong with it?
