I’ll leave actual explanation to Taran, as he has visual aids to demonstrate, but the Hue vs Hue adjustment is available in other editing applications like DaVinci Resolve, and it’s a fantastic way to be able to quickly and easily take care of colour casts and spill.

Taran finally discovered a method using the Hue vs Hue sliders within Lumetri in Premiere Pro. Turn on the key on the first “color key.” It should now be a perfect key.Īs a side note, we tried doing this in FCP with two “color keys” on one clip, but the software didn’t like it.Taran has tried a lot of techniques to try to eliminate green spill from keyed out footage, and a lot of the plugins and tools available for chroma keying are supposed to take care of it automatically, although they often don’t. Use the “eye dropper” to select the shadowed area you want to key from the foreground and adjust it as best you can with out making your subject disappear.Ĩ.

The key was cleaner but if we upped the “similarity” slider to remove the shadow, we also started to loose his blue jacket. After starting in his FCP, we moved to Premiere Pro, my application of choice. Much of the footage looked really good, except for a triangular shadow between his elbow and waist. Due to time constraints, he ended up shooting in his living room. Recently a friend of mine needed to do a last-minute greenscreen shoot.
