In this tutorial, Ra-ey Saleh will show you how even without shooting Green Screen you can replace the background of a shot whilst keeping the moving foreground undamaged. He’ll use a technique called ‘Difference Matting’ and do it all within the Avid!

great tutorial, Ra-ey. Very in-depth.

Thanks Grin,
I really think there’s a lack of tutorials aimed at the more intermediate/advanced Avid user, so I thought I’d try making one.
Learned a few lessons (like next time I’ll de-interlace and letterbox the Final Movie for the web!), but all good.Ra-ey

That’s fantastic.
I’m fairly new to Avid…just got a Symphony Nitris at work and Media Composer soft at home. My first thought would have been to go directly to After Effects, but I see by your tutorial that I can do a lot in Avid.
Thanks for posting.

Mark,
No worries. 5 years ago the Avid was pretty much a great Editor. Now with a number of plug-ins (some really cheap) and some other great native features the Avid really can do some great compositing – certainly with a Nitris.
Thanks for your post, makes it all worth while…
Might do another!Ra-ey
