Premiere Pro CC: 2-Color Green-Screen Key [video]

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

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Green-screen keys (also called “chroma-keys”) are THE go-to effect when you need to insert an actor into a location that is either too expensive or too difficult to bring them in real-life.

Both Premiere and Final Cut support green-screen keys. But, just because the tools are there does not guarantee a good key. In this week’s webinar, Larry Jordan shows how to create good-looking keys in both Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Apple Final Cut Pro X.

Specifically, Larry shows how to:

• Determine good key levels using the video scopes
• Create a simple key
• Tweak the settings to clean up problem elements
• Use masks to get rid of garbage in the shot
• Work with more difficult keys
• Create a special effect using a two-color key

This is a fun session giving you a chance to compare keying and masks between the two programs. In this session, Larry shows how to create a two-color key in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
