  • Erase footage to the sides of a small green screen?

    Posted by David Dartnell on April 29, 2018 at 5:51 am

    Hi Everyone,

    I filmed some footage using a small green screen. Using After Effects Keylight plug-in I have been able to make my original footage transparent. I now want to remove the (original) footage to the right and left of my small green screen (as shown below with the red circles)!

    The end result which I am aiming for is only ocean in the background!

    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind Regards,

    Davo

    G’day,

    Thank you very much for the response. Would you be kind enough to post a link to a good tutorial which will assist me with learning how to mask the areas that I do not want. I am a serious Noob when it comes to this software!

    Kind Regards,

    Davo

    No idea if this is a good tutorial, didn’t watch it, but it at least shows masking out the extra areas.
