  • Using Keylight in Final Cut

    Posted by Matthew Zabel on December 10, 2009 at 2:39 am

    I’m using Keylight in Final Cut to do some green screening. First time using the great “Keylight” It’s working very well, but one shot, I have a guy wearing a black suit coat and the green screen is still coming through in little splotches here and there on the jacket, no where else, and it’s also flickering the splotches with some video noise. What’s the best tool in Keylight to fix this? Thanks.

    You don’t say what format you’re trying to key but even the best keyers cannot handle ever situation without some conventional remedial actions.
    You can apply keying filters more than once to a layer.
    You can apply a mask or roto to another copy of the same layer.

    I am sure you have, but make sure to clip the blacks and whites in Screen matte setting.
    Also, play with the Screen replace color – start with gray/green and adjust to see if it helps.
    Can always try CC your foreground to take out green and masking it.

    Hi,
    Could you be so kind and suggest…
    Which plugin do you recommend for Final Cut : Keylight or dvmatte?
