Removing Green Screen in After Effects and Premiere Pro

Removing a green screen in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro is a straightforward process that involves keying out the green background to composite your subject onto a new background. Here’s a step-by-step guide for both applications:

In After Effects:

1. Import Footage: Open After Effects and import your green screen footage.
2. Create Composition: Drag your footage into the composition.
3. Apply Keylight Effect: Go to the Effects & Presets panel, search for the “Keylight (1.2)” effect, and apply it to your footage.
4. Select Green Screen: Use the Eyedropper tool in the Keylight effect settings to select the green background.
5. Adjust Settings: Tweak the Screen Gain, Screen Balance, and Screen Matte settings to refine the keying. Adjust the Clip Black and Clip White under the Screen Matte settings for a cleaner key.
6. Add Background: Import your new background and place it below the keyed footage in the timeline.

In Premiere Pro:

1. Import Footage: Open Premiere Pro and import your green screen footage.
2. Create Sequence: Drag your footage into a new sequence.
3. Apply Ultra Key Effect: Go to the Effects panel, search for “Ultra Key,” and apply it to your footage.
4. Select Green Screen: Use the Eyedropper tool in the Ultra Key effect settings to select the green background.
5. Adjust Settings: Modify the Matte Generation, Matte Cleanup, and Spill Suppression settings to refine the key. Adjust the Transparency, Highlight, Shadow, Tolerance, and Pedestal for better results.
6. Add Background: Import your new background and place it on the timeline under your keyed footage.

Both After Effects and Premiere Pro offer powerful tools to remove green screens and create seamless composites. Experiment with the settings to achieve the best results for your specific footage.
