  • Can an area of footage be cropped?

    Hi guy’s

    I suppose it’s as easy as apple pie an all but I have searched to what I believe is my best abilities to find a solution for this conundrum and so far without any results, which is why I now ask for help.

    What I am doing is a short information film for a charity which must include BSL (British Sign Language)which is fine I can shoot it against a green screen then reducing the size of the ‘signer’ and .
    superimpose the footage in the background.
    My problem is this, I only want a certain area around the ‘signer’ otherwise the black border (Which was green) seeps into the film and obscures the subtitles.
    any light on this would be appreciated.

    The set up is a speaker facing just off camera, what he/she is saying is coming up underneath in subs/text. I have also been told that it needs BSL (British Sign Language) to make it Web CAC compliant which I assume is some acceptable standard for universal accessibility.

    I know this should be easy but for some reason (probably my limited knowledge in PP) I’m having difficulty seeing round it.

    Any takers?

    Thanks
