There is an plugin called Key light, that you get with the software and i managed to get pretty good effects. I had really furry puppets as well which is a real hassle to key out. So if your characters are furry be prepared to spend a while sat at the computer. hope that helps

This short piece was filmed in front of a green screen. As you can see the fur was a bit of a hassle to sort out. The lip sync is a bit out unfortunately because i recorded with a voice track and then put the same track over the top after.

Premiere is kind of limited on how good you can key, but AfterEffects is so good that my Mom actually thought our lead actress was driving on the highway (we shot her in my truck on the driveway with the greenscreen in the garage and then added footage we shot of the highway later).

This clip is all greenscreen (in some cases bluescreen); ▶ Reply to This
