Glad it was helpful!

[@user-uw8ot4tg6h]

спасибо большое!

[@CallMeSirPlease]

Great video, love the breakdown! Btw, do you have any tips on removing a 'non greenscreen background (as my space/greenscreen sometimes runs out with long objects/bigger scenes). I am assuming you can only manually key it?, or are there some better ways (especially for tricky parts as hair)

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Genious 🤝🏻

[@tlabd9582]

Cool thanks

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thanks for joining us!

[@FrontrunnerMedia-dc2wl]

Just out of curiosity, what framerate was the original footage in? I would have shot it higher and then rendered down to 24 after all was done. Seems like its already at 24 or 29 bcause of the crazy motion blur

[@zavarykinvisuals]

great! now i also use topaz enhance AI to denoise and remove compression artifacts and get 10bit from 8bit

[@danielbrothers9547]

can you please make a separate video on black hair keying? Im struggling

[@MylonasFilms]

Wow wow wow

[@BimalRanabhat007]

This is lit technique.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you for watching!

[@GeorgeNicola]

Nice one. How one would approach such a thing when there is a person walking into a parallax situation?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

If you are referring to adding a green screen footage to a moving 3D background, the most easiest way to do it is to import the 3D camera data to After Effects, or you can use the After Effects camera tracker. And then you want to turn the green screen layer as a 3D layer and position it in 3D space! -Danasa

[@jaisonsfavorites383]

You guys are best

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you!

[@jaisonsfavorites383]

@@ActionVFXofficialhi guys am from India. Am a VFX Artist and director. thank you for responding., your videos and website are really inspiring. I downloaded your free assets. Even if ur assets are affordable still "I" I can't afford it because of my bad circumstances. Bt u guys gave free stuffs that's really cool.. Guys like me feels like gift.. Keep going successfully

[@chrissmichaels]

Fantastic explanation. Do you have the AE template of this??

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you! We do normally make the plate available to follow along, but we were provided the plate strictly for use in this tutorial and didn't have permission to share. Sorry for the confusion!

[@chrissmichaels]

@@ActionVFXofficial Cool bro. No probs.

[@Jibeker]

Still very new to all this, can you give a very brief explanation as to why you draw so many masks around the subject at each point?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hello! The masks are to isolate the key layers. So I can create multiple keylights with each layers focusing on different parts of the shot I explained it on my 5 Keying Tips tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3eyk5ufftyMgsk Let us know if you have more questions!

[@krzysiekmaslejak4406]

What is this "render time" column in composition and what does it mean? how to enable this? It shows ms, that's some great idea i suppose ;)

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Hello! It's called the Composition Profiler and you can access it by right clicking on the Timeline column and choose "Render Time" We have made a tutorial covering it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGWyk3anrNSfh6M

[@MrBenfirst]

Is there anyway to bring the shadows on the ground back?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Yes! We have a tutorial dedicated on preserving green screen shadow here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/immphJh4h91piMU

[@kandasamyrajan]

Thanks for a excellent tutorial. It is useful if you give access to the video used in this work to replicate it.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Thank you! We do normally make the plate available to follow along, but we were provided the plate strictly for use in this tutorial and didn't have permission to share. Sorry for the confusion!

[@dragonballzsupergt3529]

If there are anyone that make the ibk keyer plugin for After Effects ........ 🙃

[@joshlagreca]

Is this more efficient than rotoscoping?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Depends! There is no right way to do things in VFX, but for this specific shot we would say it is much more effective to key than rotoscoping.

[@MostafaMamdouh69]

Thank the foundry for nuke

[@NineldelaBraila]

it takes a year until you're done with the chroma

[@thelogicofthing8242]

I'm trying to keep the key that I've seen so far Very... Hard ;;; stage..,,;;;

[@paoladuque544]

Are you available for hire?

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Unfortunately we don't sell VFX compositing services ourselves. We sell VFX assets to compositors. If you have any questions, please reach out at [e-mail]!

[@FundamentalCreativeHub]

Roto works faster. :)

[@felixfelix7549]
