Sony Vegas Green Screen with uneven lighting
I filmed some fitness workouts for downloads available on my website. The green screen was lit for me at the studio I used…but once I reviewed the footage I noticed the lights that lit the background make the screen brighter in 2 areas.
I spent a week trying to get it to look good and came out with this https://s3.amazonaws.com/mif_video_downloads/002-oct-2010/mif-002-small-size-hiit-toning_mp4.zip
I know it can look a lot better and I filmed 3 more 30 minute workouts on the same green screen. Does anybody have any tips? Or have time to do the green screen chroma keyer for me on the 3 remaining 30 minute segments? I wanted to hit my head against the wall a 100 hundred times so I would much rather step back and pay somebody who knows how to do it!

Im downloading your video right now, Vegas’s chromakeyer is very limited especially without perfect lighting. You could however use the pluggin twice to key out what the first missed. If you have green spill on the edges of your subjet, Vegas can’t help there. There is no spill suppression in Vegas’s keyer. NewBlue makes a fair keyer with spill suppression for not too much. Boris makes a better one. You will not get results like you can with Adobe Ultra or Keylight, which comes with After Effects 7 and later. They’re far superior in my opinion.

Just watched the video. and the background is blue not green,and her top is blue too. Big mistake there. If you key out the blue, you will key out her top too. You did mean blue didn’t you?
I would love to help you out but if this true, your out of luck I hate to say, unless you don’t mind spending hours rotoscoping.
I’m pretty good a chromakeying, atually won a National greenscreen contest for CMT, Country music television.https://www.youtube.com/user/ErnestDaniels#p/u/7/0tY1lOVQfaQ

I’d gladly show you some important tips on keying. If your in the continental US, we can talk on the phone, much faster than this.

Lol: the days of having interns from college setting up a green screen and the using a green shirt on the host. Seems like you found the same scenario…
Cs5 has an auto-roto. Download the demo, you will get a perfect key this way, no worries…you will need a little fine tuning when the colors hit too close to confuse the roto tool, but we’re talking a few minutes…
