  • This does not work well at all if your colored object is moving.

  • yes it does

  • this is really helpful thanks! one question though- when i use the drop to select the color that i want to stay, it only allows me to select some certain area. Say i want to select a persons whole shirt, how do i do that?

  • hit the eyedrop again and hold shift while you select another color

  • DIDINT WORK!!!

  • did you follow the tutorial exactly?

  • EVERY TUTORIAL ON THIS EFFECT I'VE VISITED PRIOR TO THIS ONE WAS CONFUSING AND TOO LONG. THANKS SO MUCH FOR A QUICK AND PEACEFUL PROCESS AND OH THANKS ALSO TO RandomLightsK11 =) LOL

  • Thanks for the help. I combined this tutorial with some others, got it to work! Thanks for a great starting point. I found that un-checking the "Sat" and "Luma" under the "chroma keyer" has a much better result! :)

  • When i try, i makes the parts i chose black and white? can you help me?

  • Great tutorial! Super easy!

  • @Dnoman56 So if i had an action scene, and i wanted to black outeverything but the explosions (say only the explosions were orange/red and no other background scenery was of the same colour) i'd just find a frame of an explosion and press shift with the eyedrop and highlight every color under the sun in that explosion... correct?
