Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-production process of filmmaking and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, rotoscoping, compositing and animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor and media transcoder.
Adobe After Effects is software primarily used for creating motion graphics and visual effects. It allows users to animate, edit, and compose media in 2D or 3D space with many different built-in tools and third party plug-ins which can be downloaded from the Internet depending on what type of plug in the user is looking for. It also provides individual attention to variables like parallax and also user adjustable angles of observation.
Adobe After Effects is a layer-oriented program. Each individual media object like video clips, still images, audio clips, etc. runs on its own. In contrast, other Non-Linear Editing Systems use a system where individual media objects can occupy the same track as long as they do not overlap at the same time. This track-oriented system is more suitable for editing and can keep project files more simple. The layer oriented system that Adobe After Effects has is suitable for extensive video effects work and also key framing. Other compositing packages, especially the ones that employ tree or node workflows, such as Nuke and Fusion, are better suited to managing complex interconnected data flow within a composite. Adobe After Effects is capable of countering the problem somewhat by selectively hiding layers or by grouping them into pre-compositions.
Keying may refer to:
Chroma key compositing, or chroma keying, is a special effects / post-production technique for compositing (layering) two images or video streams together based on color hues (chroma range). The technique has been used heavily in many fields to remove a background from the subject of a photo or video – particularly the newscasting, motion picture and videogame industries. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, colour-separation overlay (CSO; primarily by the BBC), or by various terms for specific color-related variants such as green screen, and blue screen – chroma keying can be done with backgrounds of any color that are uniform and distinct, but green and blue backgrounds are more commonly used because they differ most distinctly in hue from most human skin colors. No part of the subject being filmed or photographed may duplicate a color used in the background.

So excited to share all these green screen tips with everyone! Took me FOREVER to finish making this so I hope you enjoy. These are 90% of the keying techniques I use when challenged by tough green screens. So sorry it turned out 40 mins but I shortened it as much as possible. You could possibly watch the entire video in two sessions, on half at a time. Anyway, please let me know what you think in the comments and SUBSCRIBE so you won't lose contact with my channel. Here is a list of all the main techniques we covered: 1. Limit Range of Colors with Garbage Matte 2. Screen Matte vs Alpha Viewer 3. NEVER Final Result (Use Intermediate Result) 4. Screen Balance Shifts Hue 5. Clipping with Curves 6. Understanding Status View 7. Test Multiple Frames And Keyframe If Necessary 8. Key Cleaner...
Green screening can be difficult and confusing. Despite your best efforts, you can still get crappy results. You still want to use a good, bright green screen or sheet, and you still want to evenly light it, but this method I've developed will give you consistent and effective results using only the built-in effects that come with After Effects. Sometimes your screen might not be green enough, or maybe has wrinkles and shadows. Learn how to use the Selective Color effect to easily make your green screen greener and remove wrinkles and shadows. Next, learn how to use the various settings in the Keylight effect to key out the screen (screen colour, gain, balance, screen matte's clip black, clip white, despot white, shrink/grow, softness). Next, we'll extract the matte created by Keylig...

Hi guys! In this tutorial I'm showing you some really nice techniques for a really nice keying! The footage I use in the video is from the short I'm working on called "Route 66", feel free to follow the project in: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thunderzebra_/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thunder_zebra Also, I want to say again, this technique was developed by this awesome guy, not by me!

http://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/Multi-Layer-Editing-1 In this first of 4 tutorials on basic multi-layer keying in Adobe After Effects using Keylight 1.2, Andrew Devis starts by showing how and explaining why you might need a garbage matte for most keying work and what considerations are important for such a matte. Andrew then goes on to show how to pull a basic key and then modify that key to ensure that you don't over-smooth your end results, finally viewing the keyed footage with a bright image behind to test the key.
Nuke Keying with Key-light Tutorial by Anibrain School Of Media Design, Pune 'Keying' is one of those fundamental 'compositing' skills. You can't composite anything until you have 'mattes' pulled for the elements you want to layer together. 'Keylight' is a 'color difference keyer', which means that for it to figure out a key, it compares every 'pixel' in the image against a single color, known here as the 'Screen Color'. 'Keylight' is an industry-proven color difference keyer. The core algorithm was developed by the 'Computer Film Company' and has been further developed by 'The Foundry'. To improve the key by firming up the foreground so the background doesn't show through, you should adjust the 'Clip White, Clip Black and Screen Matte' etc options. 'Reformat node' lets you 're size'...
Nei due tutorial precedenti abbiamo visto come realizzare la tecnica del chroma keying in due software creati da Apple, ossia Imovie e Final Cut Pro Oggi vediamo come farlo su un altro programma sempre per MAC: ScreenFlow. Questo programma, molto famoso per la sua capacità di catturare lo schermo e quindi di realizzare tutorial velocemente, ha anche la capacità di realizzare dei montaggi. Ovviamente non nasce propriamente per fare concorrenza a programmi più blasonati, quindi manca di un sacco di funzioni che hanno invece programmi come Adobe Premiere e Final Cut Pro. Detto questo, è in grado di rimuovere lo sfondo ai video per poterlo sostituire con immagini, video o animazioni. Vediamo come fare. Come prima cosa apriamo il programma. Selezioniamo new document e scegliamo le dimensi...
You read that right, watch me keying my Ferrari FF... I have made a habit of taking each of my new cars to Topaz Detailing for application of Paint Protection Film, and this is exactly why! After showing the process with each of my McLaren 650S Spider and 675LT I have seen an awful lot of interest in the process and reasons behind it, and how better to explain it than a live demonstration - with keys, and a screwdriver for added effect. As shown here, you can see how the PPF truly saves the paintwork on a car; and when you are talking special colours on these kind of cars it's not unusual to spend £10-20,000 just on the optional paintwork. Quite how much bonus protection it provides actually took me by surprise doing this, I was genuinely worried this would go wrong but it didn't at all...

I lie half awake
Late at night
I reach out to touch you
To feel you by my side
And I reach
And I reach
But I never get to feel you
Will I ever get to feel you again?
Again...
Just one more time
One more moment
To take you in my arms
One more chance
One more kiss
Before I wake to find you gone
One more time
Before I have to face another day
And my heart breaks...again
It's only a dream
But it's also real
I don't want it to end
But I know it will
So I pray and I pray
Every night I'm on my knees
Begging for the chance to see you again
Again…
