Thanks guys.
Like I said It’s only for fun, I wish I had 3D programs and stuff to create cool backgrounds, I wish I had time for all that stuff, if I was born in USA I have no doubt I’d be working in Hollywood mixing movies(sound) or making them but I wasn’t 🙁

Notice what Joao said-he said that he’s increasing the saturation in the shot, which is making all the colors worse.

That’s part of the problem. If you have even shades of green in other parts of the shot than the green screen, you’re going to bring those out, because you’re saturating everything. It sounds like you might be using one of the color wheels as well to make everything tinted green, which won’t work.

There’s a tool in Color Corrector or Secondary Color Corrector to let you pick a color with the mouse pointer directly from the image you have on your timeline. Select the eye dropper tool next to “Select effect range”, click directly on the green screen in the preview window, and then you can adjust things like saturation, gamma, etc.

[Joao Souza]

That’s what I did, I selected green screen with the eye dropper but when I pump up saturation all video became more green, even my friend’s face(white), it was like if I didn’t pick any color but just pumped up green color 😉

Did you do it with the eye dropper next to “Select Effect Range”? There are other eye droppers, and if you use them they will do exactly what you said.

Also, in your plugin chain at the top, make sure the Secondary Color Corrector comes before the Chroma Keyer.

Grazie,

I have found this thread and perhaps what I need is the original intent of what you were discussing here.

Attached is a still of what I’m dealing with. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to remove the hard edge from the subject/actor in the video taken in front of the GS.

I have used every known trick to the utmost of my ability. I can reduce the hard edge but with the reduction comes the unwanted effect of “choking” too much. No matter what I try I cannot get this to be acceptable.

Do you have any ideas? Thank you!
