Stills lowlight the problem. In motion pictures the vibes don’t match and it’s obvious. it’s a music video for a label and they are very picky.

lighting i’m going for ( shot at 8am ):

this image needs to match ( shot at 11am ):

[Johnny Smith]

interesting.
i don’t have/know colorista. I got CS5 and mainly use FCP and AE.

i get that i need to play with colors just not sure what to add/subtract.
in terms of mids shadows and highs how would you color this?
also should i use “levels” to add details in the blacks?

[Johnny Smith]

nevermind, remembered to enable time remapping. Too bad you can’t delete posts on cow.

Yes, thanks for the help, i’ll check out more tutorials. Keying 36 shots took me hours to do, glad i’m not alone and nobody keying with a push of a button.

and duh, how embarrassing, hue and color correcting of course! I shouldn’t be asking questions at 4 in the morning.

because no matter how i get rid of the green screen with keylight, even if i apply a mask to get rid of the underexposed corners, her skin tone gets affected and noisier ( cause my clip black is at 36 ). It’s subtle but noticable. There’s gotta be a better way.

i fixed it just had to select straight instead of premultiplied, thanks.

[Johnny Smith]

thank you sir, that semi-worked. Now for some reason the background color tints the subject. It was professionally shot but if i get rid of the green completely ( using clip black ) the subject becomes a bit transparent and the background comes through and also shows edges of mask. In comp settings there’s no way to unselect background 🙁
