This is all fine and dandy, but I really miss working solely from Premiere, and the vastly increased performance that it brings. This makes timeline performance horrendous, but the total rendertime is “only” around 2 hours and 30 minutes. Same workflow as above, but I just embed the AE project in Premiere instead of rendering from AE. In this video editing lesson work with Keylight to quickly key. Result is much prettier than UltraKeyĪE Project in Premiere Pro. Using Keylight 1.2 is a great method for keying out green screen in Adobe After Effects. Additional rendertime is two hours, bringing the total to five hours. This nets me no GPU acceleration at render, but timeline performance is great. Put the rendered view in Premiere Pro, and work as normal. Apply the Keylight effect in aftereffects, render to 10Bit Cineform, which take around 3 hours to render. Rendertimes are great! 100% GPU usage, and around 15 min rendertime for a 20min clip, and an incredibly workable timeline.ĪE Render in Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro only: I apply keylighting in Premiere Pro via Ultrakey, and get a mediocre result. When making your chromakey selection, choose an average estimation of the overall screen color.


Create a garbage matte to tighten up the keying area. Keylight is used on chromakey shots in virtually any major feature film you can think of. Here’s a great tutorial that uses After Effects’ Keylight 1.2, a keying plugin that’s included in After Effects CC. Keylight is a powerful plug-in from UK's The Foundry, (maker of the high-end Nuke compositer/VFX program). All material is shot in dnx hr hqx 4k on a Ninja Inferno KeyLight 1.2 in After Effects CS4, under OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, (but not 64-bit) with virtually identical controls. For all three I use my greenscreen studio with 5 lamps – two front, two for the greenscreen itself, and the last for back lighting of the subject.Ĭomputer specs: 7700k 4.9Ghz, no AVX offset. I find myself in a bit of a struggle between After Effects powerful Keylight, and Premie Pros lesser Ultra Key.
