Keying P2 material (again)

[Shane Ross]

Yup…I had this issue:

I used SHAKE to fix this. Still used Keylight, but made a HOLD OUT MATTE to fix the gamma gain. I think AE might give the ability to do hold out mattes as well…not sure.

Shane,

While I see that you have found a good method, I find Primatte to be a great keyer, with no added noise.

Here’s a quick key on the sample you provided on your wesite. Hope it’s alright for me to post it here.

We would probably need a full res clip to see the actual results, but as you can see it seems to work pretty well.

I use it very often with DVCPro HD with great results, and its light wrap feature makes it a winner in my opinion.

Cheers,

Vince

That’s fine to post thre result. Can you post the original shot and the PRIMATTED one, so I can see a comparison.

I might STILL have that footage somewhere…lemme dig. I can send one full frame, or maybe a second or two.

I swore I tried Primatte and had the same gamma shift issue. But that was a while ago.

Here you go! This is with primatte 3, just a basic key and 30 second matte clean up, no choke or feathering.

Can you tell it’s a slow day over here?

My apologies to Ron for messing up the page formatting on this one…

I never noticed a shift unless there some abuse on the spill remover.
That alternative is really for PC users who don’t have shake available. That plugin isn’t axactly cheap either.

Ahhh…nice. Look at that. Was this done in AE?

I have Keylight with AE, and Keylight and Primatte with Shake, and I swear I tried Primatte without success. Guess I’ll have to give it another looksee.

Thanks Vince.

Yes, that’s with AE.

Looks like we need to have a “spill remover” on the site, as well.

:o)

No apology needed. It’s why we have the pages set as they are.

We figured as long as not many people blow the site out of its wrapper we are okay with it. If it happens a lot, well we will likely have to do something about it eventually.
