Chroma is not fully removing background

[Andrew Taylor]

Can you explain what you mean “use a second chroma key and map it to the remaining green”
Do you mean produce a video using chroma 1 .
then redo do it? and produce it again?

I’m not sure what i’m doing
The background is green
Should i be playing around with these extra chromas unti the b/ground is black?

[Andrew Taylor]

this is using 1 chroma only

This is using 2 chromas with some slider to make bg black.
Not sure what i am supposed to be doing here.
I want to totally get rid of the green bg.

Hi Andrew

First off, as Graham mentioned in his 4th comment, lighting is everything. Especially for Green (or Blue) screening.

However, when I am faced with this predicament, I usually ”cheat”.

By that I mean ”change” the green background to make as even as possible by using Color Correction (Secondary)

There are a bunch of tutorial out there explaining how to make it happen. Graham posted one a while back. Not exactly what you need to do but it teaches you how the process works and from there know how to make it happen.

Hi Francois! Wow that was 10 years ago. Actually, it’s still not a bad tutorial at all!

Francois is most likely alluding to the Controls we can bring into use in that 2nd Colour Corrector. Takes a bit of tweaking and adjusting.

Andrew, the green trash in the lower section of the frame is due to the green screen not being lit evenly. (it’s darker at the bottom of the screen than at the top. Having said that, even after you get the green background lit properly, you’ll never get the best chroma key with Vegas keyers. Third party keyers like BCC do a better job. And After Effects works the best.

Hey Grazie are you saying you’re trying to tell him to light green screens evenly? I didn’t know he was filming it himself, I was just suggesting one way to get rid of the remaining green.
