2 chroma key simultaneously

Post by vjastral »

Greetings!

We do love Resolume and its flexibility, but at the moment I am struggling with chroma key setup. We have 2 objects for visual effects. One is the green background and the other is an actor with a blue costume. Effects must be separate. For example, 1 video clip is in the background and another clip is filling the costume. I know it's easy for someone but I can't figure out the needed result, as a fact I have all kinds of effects but the one I need I can't get really. The closest I could see is and transparent background but it's not actually on the back the clip is just transparent. I have tried to mask the images, chroma keys on clips, layers, and composition, but could get the result ( All I see is that I can use only 1 chromakey and once. How to achieve different clips with different background chroma and foreground? Please help.

Thanks in advance!

Could you upload a sample of your image you'd like to filter?

Also, you'd like to place a video over the dress, and another over the background?

Like this?

Cool, so what I did is just a regular chroma key on the layer 2 clip,
and then another one on layer 4, to get the background out,
brightness contrast to make the image black,
Invert RGB to make it transparent + white,
another Chroma key to remove Alpha.
Then invert RGB again to flip black with white.
And use layer 4 to mask one below.

The effect stack should be on the clip in the masking layer.
The masking layer should be the top layer.

Ok, thanks, I found that mask function Layer -> Mask mode and made the first clip masked as on your screenshot, but I guess that somehow I don't have composition+clip+layer stack as on your screenshot and I don't know why :? Also, there is a white background as you can see... :(

Finally, I achieved the result I needed thank you very much for this! :roll: My last question is about your screenshot, you do have composition+clip+layer... I made a green star on me to mention.. how did you make this and what are the advantages. Wish you all the best! :geek:

Nice!

You can rearrange these panels by dragging on their name.
Then if you like a layout, you can save it in the View menu - Layout.
You can also disable and enable panels in View.

BTW, if you're using a green screen already, and want to mask the person completely, I don't think the person needs to dress up in blue necessarily. You should be able to separate the person with a combination of some effects, like the levels, invertRGB, and then colorize it, to then chroma key.
