Can someone please explain the progcess of blue screen and green screen…and also can this be achieved in AE which is a digital composite software.I also what to know…whats the difference between matte painting and compositing…could matte painting be the oppsoite of compositing…

The answer to your question is in the COW Archives. You may also want to ask this in the After Effects Basics Forum.
The idea is pretty simple, since the green is a bright and easy-matte color, it can be easily keyed out to replace the green-screen by some footage/pict.
Go on ribbitfilms.com, download a footage, bring it into AE, and apply to it “Keying > Color Range” or Keylight, wheter you have 6.0 or 6.5…7.0…Select the green with the eyedropper.
Search “Green Screen Process” or something similar on Google.

dvgarage.com has a sample of their composite tool kit that contains a good description of how keying works

I guess to answer the other question, I would say that a matte painting is one element in a composite. I would never say a matte painting and compositing are mutually exclusive. Unless maybe if the matte painting were the only thing that made up the shot. But in most cases it does not.
