Processing your Green Screen Sequence

With your green screen sequence now shot, you need to key out your characters and props from the green screen itself. The best way to go about this process is to either use Adobe Premiere, After Effects or Nuke 9 along with a set of plug-ins. By using any of these pieces of software, along with the plug-ins and the previously discussed techniques, you can get your scene keyed out and ready for post-processing in no time.

Here is a list of software and tutorials to get you started and on your way.

POST-PROCESSING SOFTWARE:

• Adobe Premiere CC: See Our Article on Chroma Keying in Premiere
• Adobe After Effects CC: See Our Article on Keying in After Effects
• Nuke 9: Loads of keying tutorials over at NukeStation
