Hey guys, this is Emeek77 and I want to show you all some advanced keying. I’ve had a couple of videos in the past but I want to show you some advance technique and a secret. But a lot of people asked me where I got my green screen cheap. Well, I went to Wal-Mart and buy the $0.79 green poster board. You can get several of these and put them all of your wall if you have to, whatever it takes. And also, I have a clip I bring in some laptop right here like a star.
So I lay them over top of one another in a timeline like so. I'm going to double click my green screen clip and I'm going to go to my effect, get in, go down to key and get my chroma key filter and drop it on my clip in the timeline. This will throw up chroma with key tab or your chroma with key tab you’ll have some controls here.
Well, this is kind of easy if you got a good green screen, all it will take is click the dropper, you go over here and click the color that you want to key out, and that keys out some of it. So don’t adjust anything yet. Here's the secret, click the dropper again, hold the shift key and then click again in your green screen. And that gets right to some more. Click the dropper again, hold the shift key and keep doing this until all the color is gone or until you can get rid of most of it anyways, like that right there. You can scrub through your tip and find if there are any spots that you’ve missed. And if you can't quite get it all, go in and start adjusting your sliders. I'm going to leave everything along because every time you pick you color, it makes adjustment. So I'm going to bring my edge up, this will get rid of a lot of it and I'm going to bring softening up. I'm not going to set in full with it complete but you guys get the point here. And there we go. And we have a nice beautiful key from just freaking poster board.
So there you go guys. That’s really, and say there's a part on the clip that you don’t want to key out. Just do protect your clip by holding option and drag in or right click and click and copy and then click and paste, bring it down underneath the other clip like this. And then what you want to do is go in to your matte folder, get a four-point garbage matte, drop it on your new clip and double click it to load it in. Go to your filters and you'll see the garbage matte, click the little plus here and this will bring up your pluses over here in your canvas. Grab it in, bring it down, like so and adjust it around the spot you want to keep. Let me do this real fast. And what it will do is it will cut a whole in your mask. Let me get cro is you will cut a hole in your mask. Let me get my chroma key here and turn it off. As you can see it will cut a whole in your mask and it will like leave these part untouched, it won’t key this part out. As you can see, when I put my background back, that part is there. I just duplicated my clip and made a four point garbage matte around the spot or logo for films or anything else you want to use
So I hope you guys have learned something. This has been Emeek77 for Final Cut Studio School, and we’ll see you guys next.
