Add a character to different locations by making a green background become transparent
Final Cut Pro’s Keyer effect enables you to make a clip’s green (or blue) background become completely transparent. By adding a clip to the layer below the green screen clip, you can make your subject appear in a new location. You can use this keying technique to enhance dramas or add information such as a background map. We’ll show you how to use Final Cut Pro’s tools to make your keyed character look less ‘cut out’ by softening their edges. We’ll also demonstrate how to add different shades of green to the key and even extend the range of the green screen transparency to fill the whole frame.
