Key Insights
- Keying removes green screen backgrounds effectively.
- Use Key Light for optimal keying results.
- Adjust screen gain and balance for better transparency.
- Screen pre-blur helps create uniform keying.
- Garbage mattes can clean up unwanted areas.
- Track mattes apply transparency from one layer to another.
- Use Gaussian blur to soften edges of effects.
- Color correction can enhance the final composite.
- Lumetri Color is preferred for advanced color correction.
- Masking tools allow for precise control over visibility.
