  • After Effects Key Light – Some Spilling Occuring – How Do I Get Rid of it?

    Posted by Sarmen Sarimazi on November 19, 2011 at 6:45 pm

    HI there;

    I’ve been doing some after effects key lighting work, and i’m having a bit of issue that i was hoping someone can help me out.

    my subject shows a bit of green spillage on the top right corner of the head..how do i get of that?

    i have attached the screen shot, and it shows the settings that i have changed (the rest are set to default)

    also, i have another shot of a girl who has frizzy hair, but it shows a bit of green between her hair…how do i rid of that?

    all help would be MUCH appreciated!!!

    thanks!
    Sarmen

    You can color correct the spill- choose within KeyLight interface to remove the green (it is set by default to none).

    You can use the Edge Color Correction settings within the existing keylight effect to remove some of this but to be honest, if you’re happy with the key apart from this then I think it’s better to apply another copy of the Keylight effect. Only use the Foreground Color Correction > Color Suppression and Edge Color Correction settings there to pinpoint this without affecting the existing key.

    hope this helps!

    cheers,
