Key Insights
- Keying removes specific colors from footage.
- Use Keylight for effective green screen keying.
- Adjust screen gain and balance for optimal results.
- Screen pre-blur helps create uniformity before keying.
- Clip black and clip white refine transparency in masks.
- Garbage mats can clean up unwanted elements in footage.
- Lumetri Color is preferred for color correction over Keylight.
- Track mats allow one layer's transparency to affect another.
- Masking tools provide flexibility in visual composition.
- Blurring edges enhances the quality of keyed footage.
