  • Garbage Matt corrects Green Screen

    I used the 8-point garbage matt to cut around a head shot on green screen because I did not light it correctly to begin with and there was a halo. That helped. But since 8 points is not enough to cut around head and shoulders with much accuracy, I tried overlaying a second 8-point garbage matt. That worked too, until I composited (dragged the fixed video track to the sequence with the backgrounds). At that point, it would no longer let me tweak either the first or the second garbage matt.

    Is there a better way? (besides shooting the darn thing correctly the first time)

    Thanks,
    Dave
