Premiere Pro CC: Create a Basic Green-Screen Key [video]

[This is an excerpt from a recent on-line video webinar: “Green-Screen Keys in Adobe Premiere Pro CC” which is available as a download in our store, or as part of our Video Training Library.]

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Green-screen effects, also called “chroma-key effects,” allow us to easily insert an actor, or any other object, into a different background. But, how? We’ve all seen “behind-the-scenes” footage of giant green-screen stages, with vast crews and big budgets. But, what if your means are more modest? That’s where this session can help.

Join host, Larry Jordan, as he illustrates different ways to use green-screen effects in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, including how to:

• Use the video scopes to properly light a green-screen key
• Create a basic key
• Reduce green “spill” around the edges of a key
• Create the illusion of depth of field
• Work with badly lit source images
• Remove “garbage” in the frame using masks
• Have an actor peer around a background object
• Adjust color settings
• Create a two-color key

Green-screen keys are increasingly essential in even the smallest projects. In this short excerpt, Larry Jordan explains how to create and adjust a basic green-screen key in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
