Topic: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Well, for my upcoming movie, [insert title here] that revolves around space, I have tried greenscreening a single frame, but even when I get the lighting good, I cannot key it well, as I do not have a good enough greenscreener (CineGobs didn't work). mini/sad

So, anyone with After Effects or another powerful greenscreen program want to help me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Ever tryed 'RehanFX'?
I would say, It's an amazing software, But it's Not Totally free though.
You can get a trial version on their website.
Assuming that it can work on nealy any program out there, Even Windows Movie Maker.

Eh, I don't really want Sony Vegas, and yes, I can work on any software.

And Ratboy, what program do you use for it?

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Ok, I'll get it to you when I finish each scene of raw footage. It might take a little while though. But while I'm making it, I'll give you a single pic to greenscreen and stuff, for my signature. (Thanks, and just so ya know, I'll mention it in the movie)

But I do need your email so that I can send the stuff to you.

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

I can send it by choosing a file to attach to the description for you to download, or if it's too big, I'll upload it to a file sharing site for you to download.

P.S - my email is [email protected] (creative enough?)

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Why not try using Wax.20 it's a free Image software, It works for me. Aswell make sure your green plastic or paper is a solid green, but wax should be able to pick it up. mini/smile

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Eh, I already solved the problem by getting Ratboy to do it for me...

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

How is greenscreening done with after effects? i have it, but i cant find anything for greenscreening in it.

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Look for chroma key.

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Effect>Keying>Color Key (or preferably Keylight).

FYI, that question could have easily been answered by searching AE's help file or Google. We have no problem helping you out, but asking simple questions like that makes you look like a major newbie, not to mention negating any "wow factor" that might have been incurred by your possession of the software.

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

Try using cinegobs keyer, there is a tutorial that rsteenoven put on his youtube channel

Re: Greenscreenin' Helps!

I use Magix Movie Edit Pro 15. Its a basic program, and very cheap. It does a lot including Chroma. The only thing is that if you chroma green, your yellow figures will be affected as well. So I use blue now.
