  • Chroma Keyer Trick

    Posted by Joao Souza on January 6, 2014 at 3:32 pm

    First of all happy new year guys!

    Some time ago I watched a tutorial about chroma keyer and it showed a trick using a color correction plugin I guess to make ONLY green color stronger, this way chroma keyer would work better, I even used it in one of my videos.
    Now I don’t remember how to do that and i can’t find that video.
    Do you guys know how to do it?
    Thanks.

    Color Corrector (Secondary) is what you’re looking for. It will allow you to target just one color (in your case the greens) and make them brighter/smoother.

    Thanks Jon but even targeting only green still it changes the whole video cause there are greens everywhere.
    In that video I remember he chose green and ONLY green was affected, I remember that was a button in that plugin that made it work like not affecting the whole video, damn if I could only remember that button name.
    No matter how I pumped green saturation, it affected only green in green screen(background) and not green in the rest of the video(people, things etc).

    This video by Graham may be what you’re looking for.

    [Joao Souza] “…even targeting only green still it changes the whole video cause there are greens everywhere.”

    If you have a green screen shot and you also have green in your video… you have a much bigger problem. The whole idea of using a green screen is to not use green anywhere else in your video except the screen. You could use the Mask tool in Pan/Crop to create a garbage matte so that other parts of the video are not affected but anything that is green in front of the green screen is going to be a problem.

    There’s no green besides in green screen however when you select that green and pump saturation, our faces have yellow so they’re affected too, you can see skin color has more green.

    Thanks but there’s no need of that, I just want to make green screen looks greener without affect the rest of the video, I select green screen green but when I pump saturation, it affects the whole video, I can tell it added green even to white parts so it’s not affecting only that green I selected but acting just like a color button to the entire video.
