  • Something about keying effect in AECS4

    Posted by Jacky Lam on August 9, 2009 at 5:27 am

    I wanna capture one person’s actions with background in a video. I know AE’s keing effect can help doing this, but what I have read is that all those keying processes needs to have a pure color background behind the moving object, is there any methods suitable for my below situation? Thanks for you guys attention~

    The person in the middle is moving , I wanna capture only the man’s action by removing the background.

    This requires rotoscoping, not color keying.

    Color keying is used to make a background transparent (remove a background) when it is a solid color. This usually occurs because you deliberately shot the subject against a background of a solid color (like a green screen).
