    hello, I am creating stop motion animation with lego
    guys.. here is the challenge, I have all my photos
    set up to key out the blue background leaving only the
    guys left, so I am in after effects and I go to drag
    all the images into my project from my finder,
    well this cool thing happened and it created an image
    sequence very cool, my only question would be how can I k
    use keylight ti all the photos and key out the background?

    Any help would be tremendous!

    Can you add an adjustment layer to the top of the stack and key out with that? or just pre-comp it and key out that way?

    Well it is an image sequence, it looks as if it is a precomp
    yet I cannot get into it for some reason? To better
    explain I grabbed the folder with the 230 pics, and
    drug the folder into my project it then created a file?
    image sequence, it is pretty cool because it has placed all
    my pics in the exact order, only problem is I need to key out
    the blue screen behind it in all 230 pics..

    I tried just that, applying keylight to the whole thing,
    unfortunately nothing happened?

    Search the tutorial forum for Andrew Kramer’s Keylight tutorial, he’ll get those legos keyed.

    ok.. I am not that much of a noob… although I do tend to pray alot when it comes to after effects..lol… No I have a pretty good grasp on keylight, I used the eyedropper tool and nothing changed? I learned the bulk of keylight form andrew kramers tutorial on keylight it just doesn’t seem to respond to this image sequence layer? Sorry to bug but this is driving me nuts!
