subject extraction/clean plate question
Pretty bad Subject heading there. So here’s my question…
I have a locked down shot of a bar. I then have another shot that’s the same exact shot but there are 3 people in it standing in front of the bar.
Is there a plugin out there that can extract the 3 people/ isolate them and replace everything else with transparency? I guess it would have to look at the pixel differences and make a matte based on that.
I feel like there is but I can’t find squat. If anyone has any ideas that would be awesome. I’ve played with the difference matte but not so good.
Just want to see if there’s a way to isolate the 3 people so it’s just them.
Thanks!

the effect is called difference matte… but your expectations of producing a great key should be low. it’s not very sophisticated and things like video noise and compression artifacts will become more problematic than with traditional chroma keying.

Right on. That looks like it may work. I know someone @ a house in town that has a mokey workstation.
Thanks!
