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 by edward 09/08/2008 great job again andrew nice tutorial thanks by David 08/31/2008 Keylight does come with After Effects 7, go uner Keying.

Guys, keylight is a very powerful keying tool but you have to purchase it. But let us not just depend om it. The color key is also a powerful plug in. by bacho 03/12/2008 good :) by RussellCory 03/06/2008 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. by jakob halskov 03/05/2008 search on google for keylight ![]() by Abdala 03/02/2008 great tutorial Hi there what camera is the best for filming Green screen on hd? what camera did u used!!! thanx by Bela 02/12/2008 Andrew is the best...keep itup mon!!! by Fraaank 02/05/2008 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Yes Andrew a very very good tut.

But could you put up the footage so we can test it out (just in case somebody doesn't have the best quality camera). Thanks! ![]() by Jakob 01/14/2008 Sam is just great, agian! ![]() by Tom 01/11/2008 for those of you that cant find keylight, you can download it at: http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/pkg_downloads.aspx?ui=A5FB8E97-D752-4E01-AC7D-17B39B7E1192 by Andy Sander 01/09/2008 Hi, just great! I like this tutorial. Thank you. Andy Sander from http://www.playcon.de by chris 01/06/2008 is there a website where i can find background videos for green screen -thank you by Jace Taran 01/05/2008 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. by nemesis514 01/03/2008 andrew is very very helpful and is a good explainer! ![]() by outform 01/03/2008 where is the Project... by Jack 12/25/2007 where did you get the explosion??? by Miguel 12/07/2007 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. by xxtoni 11/30/2007 here is a link http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/pkg_release_notes.aspx?ui=A5FB8E97-D752-4E01-AC7D-17B39B7E1192 by chris 11/27/2007 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? by Sjur Herman 11/24/2007 keep it up man by Marc 11/24/2007 ( I´m Spanish) A fantastic tutorial Andrew, I am learning very much with you.I wait to manage to be like your Andrew A greeting...
