[Dave LaRonde] “You can’t easily separate the subject from the background. I truly hope you do a post-mortem when you’re done to ynderstand you you could have shot it differently to make your life easier.”

That’s why I posted here. As I said in my first post, “I’m relatively inexperienced when it comes to green screen keying, so even terms I could search or tutorials would be a huge help.”

The shot I posted was a test, you’ll notice that the stand for the green screen is in the shot. You mention that I didn’t shoot the green screen properly, I take that to mean that there is a way/technique that I could use to shoot the green screen the removes the black line issue entirely. Can you instruct me on how that is done? Or perhaps send me to a, or any number of, tutorials so that I can learn that technique?

Thank you.

Thanks for the response Dave! The problem I have is that the talent is constantly moving through the boarder as their arms and heads intersect the green screen quite often. If I understand what you are saying (and I may not), animating a mask for each of their crossings for a half hour show would prove excruciating.

Below is a screen shot of the issue I’m having. To the right of the talent there is a black line, that’s what I’m looking to get rid of.

I can get it out by changing the Grow/Shrink parameter in Keylight to -6 but that thins the arms and faces of the talent too much when they enter into the affected area.

Here is the source for reference.

Thank you for all the help so far!

I’m not good enough to answer your question fully, but this page from Dan Ebberts’s site might help:
