VideoStudio :: Chroma Key With Effects Not Working?
Jul 4, 2012
The chromakey function works passably well when I'm using it without any effects (I still have issues with transparency) but seems to work not at all when I apply an effect. I've tried applying sketch, rotosketch, colored ink, emboss, etc to the overlay after I've chroma keyed out the green and it basically eliminates the green screen effect.
There are SOOO many issues with this program that are really beginning to make it unusable for me.
-- Transitions applied to overlays (even a simple cross fade) usually affect all clips playing at that time (not just the specified overlay effect) which makes them unusable for overlays.
-- Even with smart proxy turned on, the preview video gets garbled and choppy after a few playings.
It's just a shame because the interface really is more intuitive than any other program I've used (after effects, Premiere, Vegas).

I'm editing videos that are 1080i (I forget the model number, but it's a Canon camcorder and I think it's actually 1440x1080.) When rendered normally, everything looks fine and the interlacing is not really noticable.
However, some of the videos have been resized, and the background replaced using a green screen / chroma key. When someone's hands move away from their body and over the background, the interlacing is very noticable and looks pretty bad. I have tried rendering using both default templates with Upper Field First, and custom Frame Based templates, none of which work to reduce the interlacing. Is there a way to reduce it, or am I stuck with it?

how to apply the Mask & Chroma Key. I've dragged a Color into the timeline, and selected OPTIONS and then Mask & Chroma Key, but all I have now is a neon green glob on my screen that covers everything else (because that's the color I chose.)
So how do I blot out the background of a brief video clip?
And - for that matter - I'm trying to find some tutorials so I can try out features without continuing to bother everyone?

Is there any way that I can filter one color (chromakey) out of a picture in Photoshop?
I really want to take out all the whites in a picture... But the Magic erasor tool has its limits... :P

I come from the video field, I started taking professionals photographs recently and took some pictures against a green background for a video that I was doing.
What is the BEST way to do a chroma key on photoshop? I dont find any 'chroma key' function as in Adobe Premiere for example, but I know there must be a way. I tried 'selecting' and area but I dont think that's the best way to do it
Please have in mind I am not an 'expert' on photoshop, I know my way around it and can follow instructions very well.
I am using the CS2 version.

When photographing a subject in front of or standing on a Chromakey background, I always get reflected blue light on the subject. I can't seem to get rid of the background in photoshop without spilling over into the subject.
What can I do? I have CS 2.

I have just ordered a Chroma Key green screen to use for some fashion photography.
Have any of you used one of these ?
I will be wanting to cut the green backdrop out so that I can place my models on any backdrop I desire.

I'm currently working on a project in which I'm taking still images of various products against a static background. Up to this point, I've been manually cutting the products out of their background, a very tedious activity.
Taking a step back, I realized that I have many thousands of photos to take and clean up, and that this manual manipulation just isn't going to "cut it" (pun, haha).
I have been trying to find a program of sorts that will remove a particular color (preferably specified by its hex code) from a photo, and perhaps replace it with white, or resize/crop the image.
With this program I would be able to take the pictures against an obnoxious background color that could be quickly done away with by a computer.
I guess this is known by many terms in "the industry", including chroma key, matting, compositing, etc.
I have run across a couple of possible programs (Ultimatte, Adobe After Effects), but I don't know much about any of them.
One other feature that would be, well, desired would be command-line functionality. Ideally, I would be able to incorporate said program into a script that can process a huge list of photos while I'm off doing other things.

I am having issue with a simple project. It's a simple green chroma keying project which looks ok inside Premiere, but once exported it turns into a nightmare. I will post screens instead of writing the details. I am not using any external plugins. The output is rendered with tweaked settings for H.264 Vimeo 720p 29.97 fps MP4 format. I'm working with an NDA, but the problem is only in the shadows as far as I can tell.
This is how it looks inside premiere (both reference and program look the same) This is how the matte looks.And this is the final render (checked in Quick Time and VLC).Never in my life of editing in Pr, FCPX or Smoke have I enountered this issue before.

I get the 'Out of paged mapped memory' when I try to make 3D titles.
IMac 2011 - the 6970 graphics card - 16Gb RAM
Could this be yet another incompatibility between CS6 and the 2011 Imac (ie. the 6970 card which Adobe refuse to support)?

I use iMac i7, 10.8.4, 16gb ram and CSCC 14.1.1.
When I invoke the lighting effects filter, EVEN WITH 8bit image, I am unable to use. The elipses and spots that allow the lights to be moved cannot be seen in spite of my best efforts. Searched web to no effect.

Filter - Render - Lighting Effects seems to be somewhat less than perfectly functional for me.Unlike another recent poster, I'm seeing the controls okay, but they don't actually seem to work properly. Worse, I can reliably produce a crash.I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 and Catalyst 12.6 (latest released) drivers for Windows 7 x64, Advanced mode GPU operation. My detailed system info can be found here: Link
Chances are this is a display driver issue, but I want Adobe to know about it.Here's what I see...For testing I create a middle-gray square document, 8 bits/channel, sRGB, then start the Lighting Effects filter on it:If I toggle the preview setting off and on a number of times, this happens This is reproducible, though it sometimes takes more or less Preview toggles. Here is the pertinent information from several such Photoshop crashes

Why are none of the effects I apply working? Every effect I've tried causes the program to "Not Respond", and then shows the program applying the "Gaussian Blur" when I have not applied it. The program applied "Gaussian Blur" also does not take effect, even though it shows the program applying it.

I am having trouble creating 3D text when it comes to adding the light layer effect. I write the text, create a camera, make sure the 3d button is checked, and extrude the text. Then I move the text to see the new 3d angles of the text. As I create a light layer, nothing shows up on the text. I have made sure that I am in Ray-Traced 3D mode, but nothing happens.

I made an automated pie chart.
With slider you can set the pie chart slices size.
(It's based on a circular wipe.)
The 2D pie chart should be 3D.
The new CS6 3D engine does not enable wiping for 3D objects.
So I reverted to the "Shatter method" to extrude the pie chart.EVERYTHING worked...
Until I gave the sliders some keyframes.The shatter effect does not animate it's data when the slice sliders get keyframes.

I had the lighting effects filter working briefly on CS6 - it stopped. I had getting the driver changed, and it worked again for a couple of weeks. Then there was a problem with windows 7 on the startup - and suddenly something was changed within the computer and the filter no longer works.

I am working with CS6. I am attempting to add shadow to my text, which is a simple enough process. However, it doesn't appear as though my blending modes are working. Putting it on as a Multiply doesn't do anything to the solid shadow catcher. I have seen in the forum that some have had luck by changing the solid color, but this does not work for me.

Today I was just about finished editing a video on CS6.What happens is that while RAM previewing at some point during the loading of the preview it will stop loading, It will then proceed to play the ram preview on loop and when I press a button to stop it a small box pops up in the centre of my screen and the ram preview bar to show what has loaded (the one which shows green for parts that are loaded and blue for cached) turns black and sometimes other parts of after effects turn black. This has happened before and I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects about 6 times. I would do that this time though I would like to know the cause of it and any possible fixes as it is quite irritating. Another thing that may be happening is the RAM usage is slowly filling as I render. This has happened before on my laptop and I did not manage to fix it though it was not related to the first issue that time. The last time when it happened on my laptop the RAM usage eventually filled up to 100% and it would no longer render. I am not sure if it is happening this time as it is still currently rendering though I will update the thread if it does. Finally my render is going very slowly, I am not sure if this issue is realted to any of the above or if it is just the effects I am using though. My memory and multiprocessing settings are using 6 cores of 7 with 2 GB of ram allocated to each with multiprocessing on. My ram allocated for other programs is 6GB. To fix these Issues so far I have tried clearing the cache, purging the memory and image cache, restarting my computer and reinstalling after effects.

I'm matching 3D layers in AE to footage shot with camera. When I try to work with this I seem to work with sizes that AE can't cope with. In real life a layer should be 20 meters away from the camera. When I try to set these settings it jumps back to about 12 meters. ALso the camera can't be offset more than about -12000 mm (12 meters). That's no good. After Effects seems to work with tiny sizes. (you can't use meters or even cm as units, just mm). When I look in top view in my windows everything is out of reach. can't find the camera, can't find the layers. So...of course it's me doing something wrong and AE should be set differently, but how?
