Chroma Key/Halo: Reach Blue Screen Machinima Tutorial - CommunityGamer.com

[Dyyor]

I try to do it exactly like you said here. But when I apply the color burn it makes bits of the blue screen black as well as the subject and sometimes they overlap. When that doesnt happen I find the subject is also getting too much cut away from him. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I get my clips with Bungie render minutes and I choose SD, should I get them in HD?

[XxErnestoCuellarxX]

yes as bloody aces4 said can you make it for pinnacle please! this video was great!!

[SammySan96]

do i need bungie pro

[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

[Bradguy123]

Does this tutorial also apply to After Effects CS4, or is it a lot different in CS5?

[BloodyAces4]

can u make one for pinnacle studios?

[xFrShizzLEx]

definitely going to try this. looks like it takes less time then what i'm doing

[NuggetBlubber]

hey did you guys ever find a way to do this in sony vegas

[CommunityGamerTV]

@NuggetBlubber You can do it using the chroma key in Sony Vegas but we're still working on getting rid of the ghosting motion blur.

[NuggetBlubber]

@CommunityGamerTV yeah thats the one problem im having with vegas thanks though

[Jonuda]

Awesome tutorial man! These are really awesome and are definitely appreciated!

Sony vegas is very similiar to how you operate blue screens in after effects. Look around on youtube for tutorials and you'll see!

[MommyProM]

[doctorlego4]

thanks for the Tutorial and the map it helped a lot im going to make halo machinima and this will help alot thanks

[CrespoFTW]

Can you please make a tutorial for sony vegas

[CommunityGamerTV]

@CrespoFTW I just brought this to the attention of the producers, and we should have some news for you soon!

[EmoMFr]

@CommunityGamerTV

Please do make one. It'd be very helpful, because AE is expensive and not everyone can afford it, but SV is waaaaay cheaper.

There's a tutorial for Vegas. O:

[spartansniper619]

Can you do a Tutorial for Sony vegas ??? if it possible of course ?

[HeroDanny]

Pretty good, when you going to release more machinima's genetic spartan?

[DemonicVeteran]

Can you do this in iMovie 11? There is a "Blue Screen" option.

[FatDenimDan]

Vast Machinimatic possibilities await. Good on you, sir.

[TheLegendaryCustoms]

hey dude. Is it possible to so this in Sony Vegas Pro 10 ?

[Rymod]

Tried it myself, didn't work well. Oh well, yours seemed to work so good tutorial!

[Digikid2007]

Bluescreen? I was taught that in order to do proper "keying" that you need to use a greenscreen effect. You can use both?

[animatahr]

@Digikid2007 Yes. Green and blue and even bright pink are all very good options for chroma key. You can use any of them perfectly.

[Digikid2007]

@animatahr Cheers mate. Thank you for that. You learn something new every day. :D LOL!

[davidfuchs]

@Digikid2007 Blue and greenscreen work exactly the same, the only reason to use one over the other is that you want the background that will contrast the most with what you're doing. Historically, bluescreen has been used more for film work due to film stock and camera (i.e., technical) reasons, but chroma key works with any background.

[IxIDualityIxI]

Wow great video, nice simple steps for an inexperienced AAE user like me to follow. Thanks pal!

[bigroot78]

Nice Job! Cant wait for all the Machinima weather reports!

[davidfuchs]

The individual steps were basic, but I loved your solution to dealing with Reach's ghosting. Great job!

[HalfStarStudios]

Can you show how to do this on Vegas?

[dagoonite]

Thank you. Though I currently don't have an appropriate program to do this, this will help immensely for (possible) future projects floating around my brain. ...Really, I need clones or about 90 more hours in the day.

[bryan4208]

Hey this is bryan on HBO...Where did you get your after effects? Did you actually purchase it or keygen? And if so could you point me in the direction that you got it from:) I already spent $1000 on final cut so I have hit my software spending limit for a while lol BTW INCREDIBLE VID!!!

[GeneticSpartan]

@bryan4208

I actually got Adobe CS5 Production Premium at gradware(dot)com for a discounted student price. You can get CS5.5 on there for $445.95 right, if you are a student that is. If not, maybe you can get someone who is a student to help you purchase it. XP

[bryan4208]

@GeneticSpartan Yeah I'm a student (University of Kentucky) Awesome, Thanks for the link!

[GeneticSpartan]

@bryan4208

No problem, glad to help. And glad you liked the video! :]

[bryan4208]

@GeneticSpartan I just checked the site and CS5 is actually $345. $100 cheaper! And photoshop for $200...I'm gonna pick those up tomorrow!

[GeneticSpartan]

@bryan4208

Awesome, hope you have fun with those. :]

[ProHaloReach]

Could you provide a tutorial for Sony Vegas if possible?

[GamerRob1]

@ProHaloReach Sony Vegas has poor chroma keying man, sorry. :( Keylight is your best bet.. Although I guess you could try, But I doubt you would get pleasing results.

[ukilledkenny7]

You had me at hey.

[GamerRob1]

Very effective, nice!

[oDarkImpacto]

Very nice, I'm going to have to give that a try.
