Tutsplus is the second best KZbin channel (obviously yours is the best KZbin channel) and has lots of useful stuff on it. I enjoy the After effects videos most on the Channel 👍

[@flo.motion]

THANK YOU!!

[@tanyasubaBg]

As always amazing!!! I personaly think that Envato should invite you to be one of the the lecturers at their after effects webinar. Thank you for all your great tutorials.

[@flo.motion]

Jeah!! You should write envato a mail!! Would love to do that!!

[@ssrickeyboi]

I didn't even know they had their own channel, so win or lose this is already awesome. I got a new KZbin channel to reference with Tutsplus and I get to watch this new video from you!

Yes a compositing tutorial Amazing tutorial. When is that tracking suit tutorial coming out? Lol

[@barefootuptomysoul]

9 years ago he posted a tutorial you might find helpful. At 3:20 it gets into wrist bands for tracking. If you get hold of a Danskin dancer's body covering, you could add several colour sticky notes with numbers or shapes drawn onto them for tracking individual parts as shown in BTS of Marvel costumes. I hope this tides you over till Flo makes the tut better explaining the process than I did.

Stupid question time... so sorry. How did you cut around your pool video so it was round and fits into the coffee cup without square corners? did you mask it?

[@flo.motion]

No stupid question!! Yes! That is what I did! I used the ellipse mask tool for that!!

[@shreckmylive]

calling this advanced is an insult.

[@flo.motion]

Ok, so what is it then? In my professional career I often found that one tires to make a perfect black and white key... so my tip from experience (what I consider advanced) is to really take care of your grey values! What do you say?

[@shreckmylive]

​@@flo.motion I would start by using a garbage mask. also key splitting. at least for the hair i would have pulled a 2. key. using tint to cc is absurd to me. its a method but by far not an advanced one. I would have used the new background as a despilling plate to cc the greens to the desired background. its not like this is a bad tutorial. definitely not advanced though. to be honest. taking care of the grey values crunches the alpha to much. resulting in a crappy border. using multiple keys and garbage keys/masks is kind of tidious, but it gets rid of 95% of your problems and results in a softer key.

[@shreckmylive]

@@flo.motion also. what the fuck is going on with your tags to this video? lol. houdini, shark, milk?

[@flo.motion]

@@shreckmylive hmmm ok... got you... was nennt to be also a fun method to think outside the box... what do you think about my long version of an advanced keying tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpm0pI2KnsyIldU
