I do my Chroma keys with Vegas. It works good. After Effects is much better.

i used to use vegas, it's pretty cool, and you can do it perfectly, one advice, try to color correct the greens and make them shinny and even before applying the chroma key, that will help you a TON.
now i work with final cut pro, LOVELY. -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube |

Just checked the prizes...the full version of After effects is ridiculously expensive, I could get a great guitar for that kind of money! Sony Vegas Version 10 has a reasonable prize, I think I'll check out some demos. Thanks for the advice Gabriel! yeah, if you have a good lightening Vegas will work great. -------------------- My lessons

I agree with the guys, if you have good lightning, and can make the whole background in somewhat uniform brightness and color, it will be alright. Chroma will pick up the uniformity.
Vegas Movie Studio Platinum has the same chroma key plugin as Vegas Pro, so that might be a good solution. However, After Effects has very powerful chroma key plugin, you can do wonders with it, and it offers masking of videos which I miss a lot in Vegas Here are some other tips as well: - don't wear anything of the similar color when recording - don't cast any shadows on the background (as they will confuse the chroma key filter) - use HD cam for better edge tracing of the object - record in bright conditions when doing indoor recording, the more light the better. Try to use neon, CFL or LED lamp arrays to create uniformity, as they are not so expensive, waste little power and don't get temperature so high. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

also, if you are using a photographic lens camera, i recommend you get your aperture kinda low, that you can create a shallow depth of field and "separate" yourself from the background

Oh cool , since I got Adobe master suite from school , Christian, Do you still have that link where you bought your greenscreen, you shared it a long time ago but I lost it. ty Search for muslin video (or photo) backgrounds. In general - any uni color cloth will do, preferable green or blue. It can be done with any color actually - its just that it needs to be as far away from colors you have on the subject in order for it to work. One thing important with green screen is lighting. You need to light it as strong as possible and even - or the results might not be that good. BTW - its amazing what in today's film industry can be done using this and similar technology -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
