Overall, I was surprised during HF's Chroma key color pick, that the initial color pick\cut was so far off the mark, compared to ( Vegas and Davinci ) initial cut. įor Any color, it will have to be somebodies Chroma key, but for blue or green, guess I have to go simple with Color Difference key of HF. I will keep trying to get better at HF Chroma key.
#Hitfilm pro chroma key manual
I read the manual on HF Chroma key, and I read what you said. HF's Chroma Key seems extra difficult for me to use, for some reason. sometimes those 2 masks look the same, at that point I think I have made some progress. I do inspect Masks, both Status and Matte masks. I kind of hear what you say about work flow. I did re-look at Hitfilm, I tried "color difference key" for some reason that was simple for me to use, and it cut it ! What ? I read in the manual that Chroma Key of HF is supposed to be the best thing ever, so why does "Color Difference Key" work so quick and easy on this ? įor what you are able to do with HF Chroma Key. this is cutting "green on green" for doing that, That result is interesting. Vegas chroma key can be very, very selective. On Vega's behalf, I have made 3 green RGB bars of ( 0 199 0 ) ( 0 200 0 ) ( 0 201 0 ). For now, Vegas cuts this particular image better then Hitfilm.
#Hitfilm pro chroma key Patch
I added that little gradient patch as extra image complexity For now Hitfilm has huge issues "for me", to get a good cut in the lower left rectangle. Real Life ? not really, It does show comparative quality of the cut. ( seems I still don't know the technique of using Vegas's Chroma key, I will try Vegas again ) Source colors are retained and that nuance gradient is intact( No adjustments yet ). Even if I can't do it, at least I know that it can be done( after you prove it ).

I am interested to see what you do with Hitfilm. This may be extra critical, but seems Vegas can't keep that gradient. just pointing out in this repeat pic that Daninci's cut with just the color picked, and No adjustments, was able to preserve the gradient in the lower right corner of the lower left rectangle. Hitfilm is still up for grabs ( can Hitfilm cut this ? ) I guess that gradient had to disappear because it was green gradient up to the black tiny rectangle. Essentially the same cut as Vegas, except Resolve retained color accuracy. In particular, after the cut, the lower left rectangle looks very much like the source image in the left pane. I replaced the background with the green of the lower left rectangle of the source image( No Red this time ). If Vegas had Pro-Chroma key I wouldn't be snooping around. ( Vegas won't import that MJPEG.avi, but Hitfilm does ) ĭavinci and Avid are most likely at the top, then HItfilm, then Vegas.

Video Green\blue\any color screen cutting is simpler, and still not always easy to do. It could take hours to make a really good mask. Photoshop can make masks to cut an image from a random background. My chroma Mask attempts with Vegas are useless 😕 because of the screen fringe color after the Mask Multiply blend mode. working multiple chroma keys in Vegas could be a hassle to do that. the lighting of the screen could change during the scene ,causing the Mask to break, requiring key frames for the chroma key and re-adjusting along the way. I have recently become aware of chroma cutting video. I am unaware of how or if, Hitfilm can cut that image. with additional adjustments, the cut is pretty good, colors are NOT correct. Picked Top Left green square, picked Bottom right Green square and picked Top Right green.

HitFilm Chroma key, picked Top Left green square. Davinci, used Delta key, picked the Top Left green square, No additional adjustments were made.
