Oh, but I...Hehe... thanks for the compliment, Ron. Oh, but I am far from a chroma key master! I've been able to use my experience as a photographer to expose and light my video work in such a way that makes it fairly painless to key out stuff is all. I use Final Cut Express with a dvMatte Pro plug-in filter, and a EEFX Bluescreen which helps get a clean key also. <BR/><BR/>If you ever want to delve into this stuff a bit further in your own work, I'd be glad to share anything I know that might help you out.<BR/><BR/>Just give me a shout :)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982150456282907567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34646116.post-30685076024560268622008-07-30T08:44:00.000-04:002008-07-30T08:44:00.000-04:00Yeah thanks Paul, you are the chroma key master I ...Yeah thanks Paul, you are the chroma key master I see from your videos, I've only attempted to use FinalCut recently in attempts to do some blue screen style stuff, I'm still experimenting. :)Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722342595669144766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34646116.post-20047656111947970132008-07-30T08:12:00.000-04:002008-07-30T08:12:00.000-04:00I haven't worked in Flash, but you could probably ...I haven't worked in Flash, but you could probably also export flash animations like this (with the white text on black) without working about preserving transparency. Import this as a new track into your editor and set the blending mode to "Screen" ... this would quickly knock out all the black.<BR/><BR/>You could also key out a specific color...<BR/><BR/>Nice work on the video, Ron.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982150456282907567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34646116.post-74442350140295788662008-07-25T06:11:00.000-04:002008-07-25T06:11:00.000-04:00I didn't have to. I captured the live action video...I didn't have to. I captured the live action video from the digital camera, then exported as a Quicktime movie. Imported that movie into Flash, made a new layer on top of the live action layer, drew and painted the animation on top of it, re-exported as a video.<BR/><BR/>If I ever had to export from Flash and preserve the transparency from it to a video editor, I imagine I'd just have to export the animation as sequential PNG images (24 bit alpha channel), but I haven't had to try that yet.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722342595669144766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34646116.post-80100194936481221142008-07-25T04:47:00.000-04:002008-07-25T04:47:00.000-04:00Loved the animations!
