Adding a second Inside mask in Keylight
by Joe VanDalsem (Joe) on Sep 23, 2008 at 9:25:37 pm

How can I add multiple inside masks in keylight? I'm dealing with some just god awful green screen material and we're needing to add much more than one inside mask.

anybody have any thoughts?

Maybe I'm missing something in your workflow that would prevent this, but the easiest way is to just duplicate the footage layer, remove keylight (since it won't be used inside your masks anyway) and create the inside masks needed.

As good as keylight is, It still needs a fairly well lit green/blue screen to work great. If you have CS3 with Ultra, Ultra will work great with what normaly would be considered un-keyable footage. It even has pre and post color corecting so you can raise the saturation, brightness to get the green screen bright and green, then in the post color corection you can turn these parameters back down so your forground is back to normal or how ever you want. It's not a normal timeline pluggin most of us are used to but it can save you from having to re-shoot. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

Danny, I am using CS3, is ultra a standard plugin? or does it need to be purchased separately?

yeah, I'd thought of that, but this is all stereo footage, so i was trying to keep the layers to a minimum.

It's a stand alone program that came with CS3 premium or master I believe along with On Location, both windows based.
