Re: Keying a wedding veil

Glad you got an acceptable result and I want to say thanks for closing your thread with a solution. Hardly anyone does that around here.

Don't take this personally but chromakeying does not depend upon upon only one tool. Your ReflecMedia background is a fabulous tool but it's useless if you don't have the chroma bandwidth and pixel resolution to make the keying software happy. keying through diaphanous materials such as smoke, shadows, water, or veils requires testing and usually some modifications to the set or costumes to work with the available technologies instead of trying to fix it in post.

Your thread, unfortunately, is a textbook example of almost everything we try to get folks to do BEFORE they commit to shooting for chromakeying.
