The effect is automatically set to chroma-key green, so if you have a blue key (or any other color), you’ll need to dive deeper into the settings. In this case, it was a great tool for the job; however, I’ve seen it do some very strange things to skin tones. It sometimes turns skin a dull-gray color or adds strange noise to the footage. Though Premiere is a non-linear video editing software, it also has a pretty good keying feature based on the Adobe After Effects platform. If you have a project with a request for a fast delivery, the Chroma keying feature of Premiere is very helpful. Mar 24, 2021 Adobe After Effects is a complex professional-level software mainly used for 3D creation, complex tracking, encoding etc., but you can also use it to do some video editing like Chroma key. A green screen is a post-editing technology that lets you layer and get an item from a chroma.
In this course you will learn essential and advanced chroma keying techniques in Adobe After Effects. Instructor, Lee Lanier will explore a range of different techniques to give you the tools you need to create the perfect key, over and over again.
Most of the time will be used inside of After Effect's Keylight, which is the go-to-keyer for many compositors, and Lee will solve complex shots with poorly lit green-screens, soft lenses, blonde hair details and much more. We know this is what you have to deal with in production.
Chroma keying can be a very time-intensive process that ends with a bad result, but the techniques you will learn in this course will prepare you to take up any complex task with confident and deliver a good result.
The chroma keying course is taught by Lee Lanier which has written several books on the topic and teached chroma keying techniques at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood.
