That's advanced - and you are advanced! Awesome! Thanks!

01/05/2013

Thank YOU VERY VERY MUCH !!!

09/09/2012

and how is it, when you have a zoom in your scene? :/ I tried it but i think its too dificul, isn't it?

08/02/2012

thank YOU very much

07/13/2012

Gud tutorial thnx but bit boring!!!! :)

06/29/2012

I can't seem to separate my subjects complety from the background with the output cycle wheel. is there any other method of "crushing" my subjects completely to black?

07/31/2012

If you have after effects cs5 or cs6, you can now use the rotobrush tool. Use it to create a mask for your subjects and you'll be able to replace the sky really easily after!

06/29/2012

anybody know where i find the "trKMat" box on after effects CS4 or 6? i'm trying to find the luna matte invert option, but cs6 doesnt have the trkmat box in the timeline

07/13/2012

Bro u have to toggle the switches by pressing f4 :)

02/06/2012

jk awesome tutorial.

07/25/2012

Haha Kiddles, that's classic Freddie Wong.

Great tutorial, I've been trying to get this down for a while.

06/08/2012

"Crush the blacks! Its not racist! Its a color correction term!" Sound familiar? XD

07/31/2012

Maybe you should try animating the output cycle with keyframes. I'm not sure, but try it :)

10/07/2009

Thanks Andrew.

08/20/2009

I'll say it in your words: this is a very powerful tutorial.

07/20/2009

hmm. is anyone else having trouble watching this one? All the other tutorials seem to be working alright, but for me this one wont play past ten seconds...

06/10/2009

Great work Andrew. I did a 3 day shoot where we had to replace the sky in almost every shot. I did something very similar to the gradient background you showed in this tutorial. I added a layer with fractal noise to create clouds. This added to the realism and texture to the sky. And I could use the controls of the FN to match pans and tilts which would be hard to do with a flat image.

06/10/2009

Thank you God for giving us a great person named Andrew Kramer and his VideoCopilot.net.

06/06/2009

If you do not have the "mode, T or TrckMat" in your time time look at the bottom of your screen to the right of "Expand or collapse layer..." and you will see "Toggle Switches / Modes".

Hope that helped, it did for me =)

03/07/2009

Thx for the tutorial it was very handy for past two weeks while I was doing videos for the elections. Last shot was ment to be like super hero over the city and the Sky replacemant did a very good sell.
Thanks from Macedonia

03/02/2009

anyone can say me why when i choose luma inverted matte, the sky turn black? thx

02/09/2009

thank you

02/05/2009

FANTASTIC. You are the best. Love your tutorials. No doubt you are a genius at this work.

In the future, could you please consider doing a tutorial on a sky replacement where the camera is panning about 180 degrees across a landscape (way to the left or right), and you have to attach a long new section to the sky / then blend the edge / as the pan continues?

You are an inspiration. I wish I had 1/100th of your knowlege.

12/24/2008

GREAT BUT,
What if U doing it on a "snow shot"
[OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMATIC COLOR] ?

Hello!

Thank you so much for all these great tuts!

But I noticed some of them are linking to missing file, and this one first.

Can you please check what's wrong? I hope I'm the problem, but it doesn't seem so. And well, I don't like to ask for, but in fact I need it :)

Hope you can do something!

Thanks again, and please forgive my bad english, it's not my primary language :)

Nice - but I sure wish I knew how to get the Parent options next to my freaking TrkMat. I have no Parent! I feel like an orphan.

you are great man...thanks for your tutorials it really help the community of young designers...

04/23/2008

That was pretty good tutorial.
Thank you Andrew.

04/19/2008

Thanks so much Andrew for sharing your expertise. I wonder whether you have any suggestions for eliminating flutter around the edges of the matte caused by a panning shot? I would be happy to send you a peice of the footage. It's a real challenge.

Hey man this was great. I wish you could talk a little more about using it for effects though. Like in X-Men when Storm makes the sky all dark and cloudy, show how they do that, relating it to what you showed us here. Thanks man for your time and willingness to help.

Drew-dog - you da man. I'd also like to see a tut on creating fire. Got any coming up?

02/02/2008

What camera did you use for the police shot? It looks very much like a 35mm camera or lens adapter.

Thanks
