So for about a half of a second there's no background picture and then it appears (this sequence all happens over the course of the one second transition: animated intro -> cross dissolve -> subject standing in front green screen -> subject standing in front of correct background). When I add my animated intro to the beginning of my project and try to cross-dissolve it into my video, it only cross dissolves the video with the ultra key and no background picture. I have the ultra key and background picture all set up and working fine. There a couple more tiny tips at the end, including ways to make your life easier using the Master Timeline (a feature that Resolve also has) and a slight bug with the Ultra Key feature ( sign the petition!).Ī slightly less ranty video than usual from Taran, but he still manages to work a couple of quick ones in there.I'm having an issue with the cross-dissolve transition from my animated intro into my video of a subject standing in front of a green screen. But Taran’s solution requires just using a second Ultra Key in order to clean up the edges from the previous key.


This can be a tricky one and often leads to your composited shots looking quite obvious. Taran’s extra tip involves cleaning up the fuzzy edges of the green footage when there’s motion blur in the shot – which can often be exaggerated after applying the above technique. I’ll leave actual explanation to Taran, as he has visual aids to demonstrate, but the Hue vs Hue adjustment is available in other editing applications like DaVinci Resolve, and it’s a fantastic way to be able to quickly and easily take care of colour casts and spill. Taran finally discovered a method using the Hue vs Hue sliders within Lumetri in Premiere Pro.

Taran has tried a lot of techniques to try to eliminate green spill from keyed out footage, and a lot of the plugins and tools available for chroma keying are supposed to take care of it automatically, although they often don’t.
