Here’s a photo from the shoot if people want a better point of reference.

I’m still surprised there’s no easy way to key out those bright pink trackers. No way to lower the equivalent of the chroma key’s “tolerance”?
As always, thanks for the tips.

Understandable, but there was a lot of blue in the costume pieces. Doh. Well, live and learn…

Hey, that works great! Particularly with judicious use of the “shrink/grow” option.
“What happened to the ‘two good points that never leave the frame idea??'”
Rest assured that advice was taken to the shoot. Most of these shots will be very tight, hence the many tracking points.
Thanks for the advice!

Well I just show this piece on green screen with neon pink Post-Its as tracking points to compensate for the camera movement. In retrospect, I suppose I should have used a different shade of green for the markers as I am now having difficulty keying out the pink without screwing up peoples’ skin tone.
Is there a good way to do this? Or am I going to have to manually mask out these points (yikes)?
Here’s a rough example of the green screen plus pink tracking points: https://img411.imageshack.us/img411/861/greenscreenexample.jpg
Thanks for your help, guys!

For the record, what is wrong with trying to key out bright orange or bright pink post-its (aka tracking points)?

What’s the most effective way to achieve a garbage matte in AE? A mask with keyframes, right?

Good point. I can keyframe in a blur at that point if I’m really worried. But my background is 720p so I should have some wiggle room.

I think the camera motion will be fairly restricted–mostly just the jitteriness of a “handheld” cam that’s mostly stationary, with the occasional quick zoom. So hopefully a background that’s a bit larger than the screen will suffice.
Thanks for the input! This will be fun…

Post-Its! That is some great advice. I bet if I get them in a wild color I can key that out no problem. Thanks!
