  • Ultra Keyer…. How do I key out additional elements?

    Posted by Dragos on October 17, 2012 at 5:21 am

    Hey all, I just keyed out a static scene and got a good overall key, However the desk that my speaker was seated at absorbed a small amount of the green reflection. It’s causing a bit of noise during playback.

    I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of it. I created a black and white image and then pointed to it as a track matte but it’s just not working. I’m getting all kinds of weird results. I should note that I recorded at 1920 X 1080 but am editing at a lower resolution to give me flexibility in post.

    Can anyone tell me the best workflow to add an additional black and white matte to my Ultra-Keyer so I can mask out and protect the desk in my image from being keyed out?

    Thanks.

    I think what you want is Spill Suppression – take a look here in the Adobe Ultra Key help:

    Thank you, I had tried spill suppression, but the green reflection was just too prominent. It can’t fine tune enough to get out the small amount of reflection that causes static noise when playing from frame to frame.

    I really just need to find a way where I can protect a section of the frame from being keyed out altogether.

    Matt –

    Have you tried a feathered mask on the area you don’t want keyed out? Once you have the area protected, you may be able to color correct the green reflected area (you may have to use secondary color correction to get this done – Color Finesse can do the job, but you’ll have to do a couple of tutorials to pick it up).
