We are now going to manipulate each of the individual parameters under the four dropdown options in the effect, ‘Matte Generation’, ‘Matte Cleanup’, ‘Spill Suppression’ and ‘Color Correction’. Following the below steps will also give you great results every time with tweaks here and there. However, following the steps in part one to set up your greenscreen properly before shooting will give you the best fighting chance at a great key in post-production.
Perfect layers and keygen skin#
There are many steps of trial and error when pulling a key and every key will be different to the last due to lighting differences, the talents clothes, skin tone etc. The perfect key is the elusive goal that we all strive for when working with chroma screens. We are going to use the ‘Aggressive’ setting as the base for us to work from to refine our key further. This will refine edges and tolerance further than the default. In fact, if you are going to rely on any of the default settings at all (we strongly advise against it) then you can use the ‘Aggressive’ setting. Granted, this won’t be the best key you’ve ever seen and you should never rely on the default key that the effect will pull for you. This should automatically choose the correct shade of green from your image and instantly provide you with a default key. Head to the Effects Control panel and locate the effect there.Ĭlick on the eye dropper next to ‘Key Color’ and then click on the space nearest to your talent’s head or focal point of the frame.
Perfect layers and keygen pro#
Now, grab the Ultra Key effect from the effects panel in Premiere Pro and drop it onto your footage in the timeline.
Perfect layers and keygen software#
Repeat on second and third layers.Creating a garbage mask means that the software is only keying out the information that it needs to and not doing unnecessary work by keying out areas of greenscreen within which the talent never enter. Be careful – don’t add too much.Īdd a layer of frosting to your bottom layer. Using your spray bottle, spray top of layer several times enough to give it a little moisture. Take a straw and poke holes into the layer. Unwrap first layer and using a serrated knife, level off the top of your cake. Pour liquid into a spray bottle or pouring bottle. Here’s a little trick to add moisture into your layers:Ĭombine 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water.īring to boil and boil for approximately 3 minutes. Once cooled, you are ready to assemble your cake.
Remove and immediately wrap each layer in plastic wrap to seal in moisture. If the toothpick comes out with dough, bake for a few more minutes. If a few crumbs stick to the toothpick, it's baked.
Check for a light golden color and use a toothpick for doneness.
