Hi all, I’m dealing with some stock greenscreen footage that is very clearly a CG render that has been Over’ed with pure digital green, because why in TYOOL 2021 would stock footage houses be able to store video wit alpha? Is there a stupid comp math thing I can do to cleanly get it out of there? I…

And do you need a key or a despill?

The CG has motion blurred edges, so not fully opaque. I’m wondering if there’s a better/purer way from a comp standpoint to key and despill the whole thing if my green is uniformally 0,255,0. It’s keying fine right now with the MasterK, but I’m having to hit it with Pixel Spread harder than I’d lik…

Yeah. I saw this the other day when searching for stock footage of birds. I didn’t buy any that day but my first thought would be this: Sample that solid green and subtract it from the plate. The difference of that should give you their alpha. To be honest, who knows how good their alpha will be…

And try do a diff matte using cc output.

Maybe, you could try Joel Osis Additive keyer method? Should help, at least with MB [THE ADDITIVE KEYER HACK]

Subtracing the green worked great except for the parts of the fg that contained any green (like yellow, fer instance.) I was already despilling with the MasterK set to FrontCC. When I have time I may try to figure out how to pull of what @claussteinmassl mentioned, but for now pixel spread it shall…

Despill it like this. [image] I just spent the last 30 mins painting with Wash Flame Questions Savage. My favorite way to despill when Master Keyer lets you down. Blue screen. Grab 3 Mono nodes. Set one to Red, one to Green, one to Blue. Comp Max the Red and Green. …
