There's no project files for this so just go on Youtube and download some royalty free green screen footage, I used a meteor one, and then follow the tutorial as he does it but with different footage, still teaches the same

hey Andrew, I'm happy to write to you...

Actually i've a problem...

I'm making a video for a blood donating awareness and I use your tutorial (Medical zoom), my problem is when i downloaded the project and tried to use the RED Cells video to make png sequences it came out with black background, then i turned to this tutorial to see how can i remove the background, then it didn't work!!
I use keylight 1.2 and it doesn't remove the black BG, i tried to use color key but it keeps some black noisy around the smashed orange

thnx Andrew, hope u see it before it's too late

___________
I'm not an English speaker so i hope u understand me.

if you have a picture that has a black background just change it to screen blending mode. that usually works for me

cool but how do you use green screens with after effects

Ann

13 years ago

ps: I shot a video in the bathroom, and put a lot of small square pink color paper on the wall, which is for better 3d tracking...and after that, I tried to use the keylight trying to transparent the square, but it doesn't work, and the whole video become very green...so just wondering how the keylight actually works..

Rafael

13 years ago

You should use a color tone away from the skin tone, like green or blue, never pink. But, if there's no human figure on the screen, for your pink paper square removal it might be better to use the mask technique, I guess...

Ann

13 years ago

Hey, Andrew. Thanks for your tutorial, I'm new for AE,so sorry to ask you some very basic and stupid question. I'm just wondering whether the keylight can work on differnt color rather than green, and can it work on some small color quare thing(to make it transparent) rather than a color background?

MacMan

13 years ago

Yes it is possible to use keylight for something besides blue and green. Apply the plugin on you footage then select Screen Colour and click the eye dropper tool on the section you want to key. This will not make it transparent without a clean back plate. You could use black squares and use red giants unmult plugin to make them transparent but you would have to Roto them out.

No footage?..

Gilbert

13 years ago

Andrew,

You're tutorials are great, but I'm posting again about this problem, cause I posted for tutorial #20 a few weeks ago, and the problem hasn't been fixed yet.

When I click on the "download tutorial" link, an option comes up to save the file "10-Colorkey.zip". I go ahead and save the file, but when I try to extract it, I can't because the ZIP file doesn't contain any actual files. I double click on it to open it and the file is empty.

I don't know if your code for those "download tutorial" links is broken or what. But I've tried to download the files with those links on other computers with different operating systems (except Macs) and I still get an empty ZIP file.

So far, every one of your tutorials that uses that TINY, and HARD TO FIND "Download Tutorial" link has linked to an EMPTY ZIP file. No wonder people keep asking where the footage is. It's easy enough to substitute other footage for several of the tutorials; but tutorial #20 REALLY NEEDS the footage that you shot to work properly.

Please, please fix these empty ZIP file broken links!

Thanks again!

Mason Mcw

14 years ago

Hey guys, Keylight is an Effect that comes with After Effects 7 I think. I might be wrong, but I have CS5 and I used to use AE 6.5, which didn't have a lot of effects. Basically, you should update your version of AE or try the foundry homepage. I doubt it would be there though.

Angelo

14 years ago

Just go to www.thefoundry.co.uk then go to downloads and at the very bottom of the page there will be an archive (it looks like an email link) it will ask for a password, the password is archive and download keylight. its not illegal its made by them.

Its hard to explain but keylight 1.2 is really free.

Hi Andrew,

Since you are the God of creating...can you do a tutorial for a special lady?

I would love to see you put together a scene of someone walking through a 'heavenly' feeling set e.g. white background, bright white lights, camera flare - the kind of scene where a person has died and doesn't know if they are alive or not.

Thanks a million!!

Great tutorial, and find in most situations I tried it with it does a great job, however I too like some others would love to see an advanced Chroma Key tutorial for those much more difficult situations such as badly lit green screens that are harder to extract or objects that reflect some of the chroma key and detailed objects like hair and shadows. How would you go about this? Using a Matte technique maybe? This is where I need to call on your expertise as mine fails.....keep up the great work

If i'm not mistake, beside than keying light, we're also can using the other keying features- this is because all of them have very similar functions- it's up to you, the way you manipulate the features-depend on your creativity-

For those that are complaining about not having Keylight.

Keylight is included with After Effects versions 6.0, 6.5, 7 & CS3. It is on the "extras" or "3rd party plugins" disk. It does not auto install, you have to install it yourself.

If you got your copy AE from a file sharing network the extra stuff was probably not included.

If you bought AE & the plugin isn't on any of the discs that Adobe sent, give customer support a call.

Keylight comes with AE 6.5 Pro and above, however it does not come pre-installed with AE. It has its own, separate installation. That means that if you install AE without installing Keylight, you won't find it when you click Effect-Keying.

If you want to install keylight, put in the AE installation disc, and when the autoplay comes up, click the option to install keylight (it works this way with 6.5). If you can't find it, then try browsing the contents of the disc directly. If you still can't find it, its likely that you don't have a Pro version. If you know you have a Pro version, or if you have CS3, and still can't find it, you just haven't looked hard enough.

A very useful tutorial for all of us who use keylight. However, it could be interesting a new tutorial called 'advanced color keying' which would analize more complex projects. In example tips for affronting long hair (specially curl long hair) or blurred parts of the body when it's moving.

I also have the shaky edge problem. I think it's keyed out perfectly then when I play the video back their edges have a strobe effect.. like characters from dr katz.

Any help?

Keylight can be purchased at The Foundry's website (http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/) and the free demo version can be found there as well.

Hey, great video man, it looks like it is going to be something special. I love green screen work. I personally use Zmatte and find it very good.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Oh, ps...how do you find all this stuff out? Do you like mess around with different settings and stumble on something cool or is it more scientific?

KEYLIGHT INFO

If you no longer have your installation discs handy, you can download Keylight directly from the Foundry's webpages here: http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/pkg_downloads.aspx?ui=A5FB8E97-D752-4E01-AC7D-17B39B7E1192

As long as you have AE installed, it will work.

REPLY TO PEOPLE CONCERNING KEYLIGHT:

hey, keylight is considered a third party effect, im not sure exactly what version it comes with, but it should come with 7 and CS3 for sure. check your install disk. also, thanks for the great show again Andrew Kramer!

I was very excited to start using after effects knowing I could finally work with green screen! DidnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t realize I had to pay over $400 extra for the plug in to make it work grrr. I LOVE all of your tutorials and was wondering if there was a keying tutorial for 6.5 that doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t use Keylight.

Where do I get Keylight? It doesn't seem to come with After Effects 7, so far as I can tell.
