Green Screening/Keylight in After Effects

 

After filming our pieces against the green screen, we put the footage into After Effects (CS6) to finish the green screen effect. Instead of doing the usual Chroma key style green screening, we used the Keylight effect, which is just the more professional way of doing it.

 

Camera Tracking

 

This is a rough example of camera tracking. The video os a lot shorter then it should be due to some uploading issues.

 

This was put together in After Effects CS6 and is really simple to do.

After importing your clip and trimming it to the size you want. Right click the clip and hit 'Track Camera'. This will take a few minutes to render and once done you will have a red circle, to choose where you want to track round and place your text.

Onc eyou choose your spot, right click and choose the track camera with text option.

You can now add your text and change its position on the x,y and z axis's.

The text is already 3D, although you need to put the motion blur on and play with the extrusion depth to make it look more 3D.

I have added a light to my project for effect but this isn't necessary.
