Multi-part Greenscreen Keying in Composite

In this series of lessons, we will learn how to key a greenscreen using multiple Keyer supertools to capture as much detail as possible. Software required: Composite 2011 and up.

What you'll learn

In this series of lessons, we will learn how to key a greenscreen using multiple Keyer supertools to capture as much detail as possible. Using multiple Keyers, we will be able to focus our efforts and create a better final matte. We will begin this project by importing our footage into Composite and analyzing the job ahead of us. Then we will create garbage masks to break apart our person into manageable pieces. We will then key out our screen using the Keyer supertool. After that, we will analyze the best way to remove noise on each layer. Finally we will focus on the hair and all the detailed roto and keying work involved. We will complete the project by doing some heavy-duty rotoscoping work on the bottle and re-compositing it into our final output. Software required: Composite 2011 and up.
