This is the first clear & concise chromakey tutorial I have seen, that clearly explains how to

chromakey in FC. After watching your video, I finally understand chromakey

[GoldlineStudios]

Best and most thorough Chroma Key tutorial I have found so far! THANKS A BUNCH!!

[WOcoFunnies]

your really awesome,thanks...

[clintcollins]

I need help BIG TIME!!! I have chroma keyed everything in my film correctly and it looks great! I have a title that is sitting on top of a green background that I chroma'd out. However for some reason when I render the filter. the green all comes back and the chroma no longer works all I see is my title with a green background. I can no longer see my layer shot underneath. Any ideas??? It seems like some kind of stupid Final Cut BUG, to me!!! but I can't fix it??? Please Help!!!

[rwheatfilldds]

How do you save it when you are done.. The end result is to make it into a FLV with transparency.

[siramediagroup]

Great tutorial!!!

[Trillbug10]

does final cut express have motion or some equivalent of motion in it?

[VentVideos]

I actually bought a green screen from TubeTape I must say...., Its pretty awesome 8D

[what2doandhow2doit]

i cant believe this video got 2 dislikes, keep the videos coming!!

[RATHAHONNI]

Great tutorial !,Final Cut Express also works and is a lot cheaper than pro.

[dkrhymes]

YOU ARE THE MAN !!!

thank you dude !

[3r1kTTR90]

OMG THIS VIDEO HAS THE OLD YOUTUBE THINGY!

[meanderband]

after effects is awesome for certian things i agree but your comment about windows movie maker was very wrong. i wouldnt compare after effects to FCP as i use them for different things

[tomwellingirl]

thanks for the tutorial

[DevinThomas]

Question: After keying out the green, is there a way to make a clip in FCP that has the green permanently removed? I'd like to do additional work in Photoshop and still maintain the transparency of the clip. Every time I try this, the clip ends up with a solid color background. Thanks!

[samboguitARecua]

thanks a lot dude !!!

[WillKelsay]

Amazing! Easy to follow and you showed all that I need to get a great shot. Thanks!

[UnnamedAssaliant]

It didn't work for me, but I'm chroma keying a still picture with a green screen. I did everything u told me and it still didn't work

[TechTeenagerTV]

Great tutorial; very thorough and informative. Hands down one of the best tutorials I've seen in general. You've earned my thumbs!

[emihackr97]

how did u manage to get a perfect background??

[alicelucy]

Really awesome of you to put this up. thanks!

[Nuclear793]

y are you guys wasting your time on this?? final cut is fore noobs. adobe after effects is fucking better than this shit.this movie editing shit has no timeline. better off using windows movie maker. final cut comes in this little windows that you have to put together. don't know how he got a timeline..... pease of shit

[meanderband]

@Nuclear793 hahaha movie maker better than FCP.... do u actually edit video?

[Nuclear793]

@meanderband yes, i make effects, why you think FCP is better then adobe after effects? hahaha keep dreaming

[thinh75]

What if the tab doesn't appear?

[bradra2]

how are you lighting the set? it is very even lighting

[WilligsPage]

I just got the new final cut pro today and felt completely lost. but you are a hero!

[morayoninuoluwa]

I wish I could go back to Sony Vegas!

[RIPFILMS]

This video fit my needs perfectly, thank you.

[joey5059]

Sweet thanks guys

[bblair905]

does camtasia studio 7 have a chromakey?

[joey5059]

Hey is lighting a big deal when your shooting someone on green screen? Might be a dumb question but i was just wondering because I'm just starting out as a filmmaker and was just wondering.

[Anthonywitoutanh]

@joey5059 yes, you're going to want the screen your going to be using to be a very bright color as well as well lit.

[TheOriginalGaryGore]

@joey5059

yes lighting is essential - the screen must be evenly lit - no shadows etc

[LosPrests]

final cut king is god.

[bposmedia]

Sweet chroma key tutorial. I got a green screen gut it's not that bright so I need some good lighting. I'm working on a cloning video and i need to chroma key out the background due to crop line shadows. Anyhow, thanks for the tip, man

[RamJim9697]

this is aweosme too bad i have no money for it :(

[heartstones1235]

can you move the video and change colors

[sordsmen3456]

That's one beautifully vibrant & perfect lit green screen, how much was the total cost for the lighting and green screen? My green screen sucks balls, the color is all drained out..

[sordsmen3456]

jesus christ thats a vibrant f**king green screen and you have like perfect lighting! how in the hell do you get that perfect of green screen?

[MadHouseArts]

[prohittas]

very good video had details and everything one of the best BEST TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN

[Boxaboitv]

Great tororial...

[MrGrey26]

This is an EXCELLENT tutorial... thank you very much.

[greenscreeningthings]

I am looking into buying Final Cut. I do (or want) do a lot of green screen work! I don't have very much money to spend. I can only afford Final Cut Express. Will it have all the same functionality of Pro? I don't really get the difference. I see the difference between those and Final Cut Pro Studio. Could anybody please help?

[PianoAndTrumpetMan96]

How did you get the green screen so bright? I cant figure out how to get it that bright with lighting.

[nickalexrock]

imovie has a better chromakey just a bad every thing else

[curtiscosby]

Hey this video was very helpful but I have a question. I am trying to use a background that I need to make a different size for it to fit properly. If I adjust it to 100% and then move it from side to side I can get it how I want it but then it changes back to its original state when I put it in the time line. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help

[xdragonfight]

for the chromkey do it have to be chrom background??

[tubetape]

@xdragonfight The background needs to be a solid color that is completely different from your subject. Green is usually chosen as the background color because the camera translates the color well into editing software & it's far from skin tone.

[KingofComputing]

@xdragonfight not necessarily, i've keyed the sky away from a c-130 but best results are when you use a green screen or blue screen, and the subject does not wear the same color as the key color.

[Enigma3Cubed]

how did you get such a good green bg??? My green screen never looks that good.

[2482310576]

What version of final cut pro did u use.. and is final cut pro the only program needed to make great green screen work

[tubetape]

@2482310576 Most video editing software has a chromakey tool or something similar. FXhome's Composite Lab Pro is designed specifically for keying out a green screen. Adobe After Effects is pretty powerful as well.

[FinalCutKing]

@2482310576 This was made this Final Cut Pro 7 but the versions do not matter much for Chromakey in FCP because it is the same steps for other versions also.

[cjgs400]

Great Tutorial! Thank you!!

[pichopacho4]

is After Effects compatible with mac to

[tubetape]

@pichopacho4 Yes, you Adobe After Effects is compatible with Mac :)

[Nuclear793]

@pichopacho4 yes but adobe after effects has no keylight. you can download the plugin but it cost money. cs5 sucks but cs4 or cs3 is better because it came with keylight

[CleverNameStudios]

Any chance I could do a video for tubetape some time?

[buddhistguitarist]

Will this work with any version of final cut? Particularly Final Cut Pro 3? What version of Final Cut Pro are you using here?

[cruxale]

NIce Job... Thank You

[XxFinalCutStudiosxX]

Great job! I use an older version of Final Cut Pro but its basically the same. Thanks!!

[rexal96]

every thing is with tube tape!

[runetoon50]

is it posible to get a windows 7 version of final cut pro?

[rexal96]

dont think so

[MusicF4]

Final cut only available on mac?

[FinalCutKing]

@MusicF4 Yes, the software is only compatible with Mac.

[tubetape]

If you need something for Windows, you've got a lot of choices from relatively inexpensive (Sony Vegas Platinum) to more expensive (After Effects). We have a keying in After Effects tutorial also :)

[TraviHark]

@MusicF4 nope, pc users can use it as well.

[Braehawk]

I just picked up Final Cut Express a few days ago. This video helped out a lot! Thanks!

[pelleravn]

Great video! I do miss some details about the other settings and what they will do to the keying, because the video used is a "best case scenario" when keying out the green.

But a good guide to start playing around.
