[TheDownload007]

Nice dude.

[Bobthehuntedbobcat]

THERE IS NO GODDANM KEYLIGHT!!!

[jsnmcmichael]

@roidavidsen I always use warp stabilizer under the distort option works really well in shaky vids and does it all automatic, hope this helps

[HOLOKRON]

Awesome Andrew, thansk for the tutorial !!

[CSCrocks3]

@roidavidsen use as tripod with timed recording or start it let it sit then go and cut the extra out in some other program

[MrSexyFoo]

I can't find the Keylight option when I'm on Keying even though I selected my file D:

[JJ72X72]

Thanks!

[yonicute]

yey thnks to you i can make my movie way better !! nice vid!

[MrNitrogenX]

Actually.. Thats an MP5K..

[CarlJohnson3]

@IndyBits After Effects is a program created by Adobe and is part of the Adobe Suite. It is pretty expensive.

[Dallasarcher]

he is holding the gun so wrong... im just saying

[philgunman]

that air soft gun is sweet!!

[xHAZARD78x]

what if the video has a black background? (im trying to remove a black background from a video of an explosion)

[yourcathatesme]

@xHAZARD78x use the color key tool. It's not as good, but it works.

[1800notarealnumber]

@xHAZARD78x set the mode to "screen"

[maxpaynefan98]

@xHAZARD78x use the luma key preset.

[TStudiosFilms]

This is a continual awesome resource I return to when needed for a reminder. Thanks SO MUCH for this video ;-)

[moviemowdown]

mp5, never heard of that file type :P

[imprezaver4]

Clearly well explained... thanks.

[MrTeamimpact]

if the camera is moving with the green screen how do you make he backround go with the movement of the foreground?

[usonutube2011]

Whenever I key out the background color the person gets partly see-through? Why is this and how can I fix it?

[tubetape]

@usonutube2011 Most likely what is happening, is you are getting green spill on your subjects when you are shooting the actual footage. Meaning, the green or blue screen you are using is reflecting back onto your subjects. This is easily remedied by placing your subjects further away from the greenscreen. You can try masking it out in post, but it may be difficult to get all that green out.

[usonutube2011]

@tubetape Okay thanks for the help!

[lsjarvis]

@tubetape

Do you have a video showing the process of trying to mask it out?

my problem is once i use the effect some stuff goes black and the colour just goes crazy, please help if you can really need it!

[xIceNastyxfilms]

i do stopmotions, so if i wanted a picture of a city would i need to repeat these steps indivdualy and do the same rules aply for after affects cs5

[c4r50n1]

I don't have key light, how can I get it for after effects?

[xxddxx95]

this helped me alot

[KelSeVa]

At the point where my background should start it kinda fades out my first layer, you can still see it but barely, what went wrong ?

[MrDirty911]

when I do this, my face gets green... Can somebody help me pleaaase??

[tubetape]

@MrDirty911 You might be a little too close to the greenscreen during filming, which will cause "greenspill" and be extremely difficult to key out.

[MrDirty911]

@tubetape thanks a lot for answering me... So what should I do??.. can i do a green screen with a bed sheet or something??.. thanks

[Technobanana]

Is this possible WITH OUT a greenscreen?

[untamedfilms]

how do i do this with a black background?

[Neilyo54321]

@untamedfilms you dont really need to... just select the footage and change the blending mode to screen.

[j3zz3x]

@untamedfilms it doesn't work with a black background as it should be, the best color is green or blue

[macoproject]

thanks man u rele helped me with this.

[kairus1]

thank you i just did keylight and it worked but when i try and render i keep getting

(after effects error . key light out of memory . (4) (25 ::241) i dont know what this means what can i do?

quick question because new to AE. I have a pic of a woman and I just want to animate VFX on her only, she is not greenscreened.

I tried cutting her out in PS with a transparent back ground but the FXs just go all over the entire pic. How can I do this?

Sorry if this is not clear? Thanks.

[thefrickenfilmcritic]

I dont have keylight in my software?

[zlee415]

@thefrickenfilmcritic you must have an older version of after effects or something. They are using CS4, i'm using CS5, and i've got keylight.

[alexharris52]

[TheNeroVDG]

please help i tried doing this and when i did the key light i came out transparent and green

[grated801]

nice tutorial !!!

[kittykat0202]

tysm

[stoopidstories]

Can I take of black from the screen just as well as green? if so, How?

[petenicezz]

do you know how to get pixel polly in on a person in green screening

[angryscottishdude]

mp5k!

[petenicezz]

hey, i have optical flares for After Effect that i got for free at a website. it works fine when i use it but when i try to save a preset it says "error unable to save make sure the plug in is correctly install"

[Supdogification]

thank you so much :)

[somehominid]

so is this better than sony vegas?

[portalmasterx7]

i know you can use a sheet or something instead of an expensive green screen

[petenicezz]

i don't here audio sound on the adobe after effects. how do i get that working.

[Necroscatophile]

@petenicezz In the preview panel are all of your familiar playhead buttons, like play, pause, previous frame and next frame, etc. In CS4, the far right button looks like a play button with lines next to it. Mouse over it and you will see it is called "RAM preview" Clicking this button will allow you to preview your video with sound.

[20dabeast]

can i use a orange one

[Necroscatophile]

@20dabeast You can use any color. The reason green and blue are used are because they are the farthest colors away from red, which human skin has a lot of. If you used orange and had a person on screen, you'd end up making the flesh areas of your subject disappear with the background. When green screening, you want to choose a color that is as far away as possible from everything you have in your scene.

[TellHow]

Thank You

[MrAheads]

Andrew Kramer is the best making these tutorials. I already almost mastered the Demon Effect, this is my next project for my next video I make!!

[podmokly]

mp5k to be exact, all those hours of mw2 payed off... i need a life XD

[tubetape]

@ruggburnn We're all about greenscreens over at TubeTape.com :)

[cen2rion]

i still couldn't make it work

[GamerfreakB7]

It's an MP5K-PDW to be precise

[bassmzero]

I find Color Key works much better than Keylight. I guess it's due to the fact that I don't have an HD camera.

[jack9938]

he looks like ernie from george lopez

[nooby54]

@jack9938 I know right?

[subron6er]

This is very cool stuff. I am really new to After Effects and have only been watching the tutorials the last 3 nights. Is after effects a program you can just down load? Thanks alot, My main area of interest is using space ship models and making them look real,,, thanks again,, very good info. Jeff J

[TaylorLuatner]

That's not a Mp5, that's a MP7k.

[fallg51]

This shouldn't be a featured video -- ur making money on Google Ads on a video you've taken from Video Copilot's Andrew Kramer ... a copy written site ... does he even know about this? An e-mail to him couldn't hurt.

[tubetape]

@fallg51 We understand your intentions, but we need to be very clear. This video is used with permission as we are a partner of Video Copilot. Andrew's a very generous guy :)

[computerkid12481632]

what's the music?

[MrSuperCargile]

but the keyer is called Keylight

[PolishGuy89]

@JTechTutorials, Your right, its not an MP5, its is an MP5K. MP5's are much longer.

[Automonaut9]

how much does Adobe after effects cost and is there any like "starter" program in case i need i some training? or if i dont use it for as long as i think i will

[Bluetiger457]

Hey, it's Emeril Lagasse! And he's going to blow the fuck out of the audience!

[BKByon]

Hi everyone. Where can you get this program to actually edit green screen, and etc?

[juniorblingaz]

@ghinhau lol why should i ????

[Embroik]

Oh my shit he sounds exactly like the llama from the Emperors Groove.

[USukVids]

what is the name of that video editing software that was used in the video
