Also, I didn't think it was too long! Keying isn't something you can just gloss over and I think most tutorials miss the opportunity to discuss the challenges. You clearly know your stuff and I appreciated the depth you went into!
OMG! I wish I had seen this tutorial the day it was uploaded! This is by far the best After Effects Keying Tutorial EVER! Nobody on the net truly understands the WHY or WHAT each and every effect in AE does,... this is the best detailed defined illustration of what and why these effects are used for keying. Thank you so much for going through the process of creating this tutorial.
Videos like this are a true godsend for those like me who are complete novices at After Effects. So impressed with how thoroughly you researched and tested your methods, and how well you communicate a huge amount of information while remaining accessible to newbies. Fantastic work, definitely subbing!
AMAZING tutorial!! I've been keying green screen footage for years and have never been very impressed with my results. I've learned so much in this video and finally am producing satisfactory results w/ my keying. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Been a video editor / post production guy for 15+ years and there were definitely still methods here that were new to me. (Keying has never been my favorite and green screens are still occasionally a pain to deal with, so every little bit helps.) Thank you.
Adjusting the curves value was a complete game changer for me! Something new that I haven't learnt before in 7 years working with green screens and key light or equivalent
this is amazing, i just installed After Effects 2019 and it sure helped a lot, before that I had a lot of issues with getting my greenscreen working, but with the extra tools it now looks perfect! thanks so much
This was SO helpful. I was in a bit of a panic because my green screen looked awful and I had a tight deadline, but your video helped me fix the problem. Thanks!
best keying tutorial i've come across over the years. i've used a lot of these techniques poking around the interwebz but never fully understood the reasons and functions behind them. great stuff! thanks for passing on the knowledge.
I know this is an old post but seriously, you saved my ass. After over 20 years in the industry as a motion graphics designer, I always had an editor on staff that would handle all of our keys for major broadcast work. Now that I have my own design company, I need to be a jack of all trades. I just won a bid for a major client that had a lot of stuff I need to key. The shots are absolutely abysmal and I was having a really hard time with the keys. After watching your video, I have such amazing keys that I am even going to show the client just the key as part of the process, because I am so proud of them. Thanks again!
You are very knowledgeable man, I love your content. Sometimes even when I think I know a topic, you add something new that I have never thought of! keep it up bro
Wow, I've never seen such a detailed tutorial. I was working a very uneven green screen and your method including the Shadow/Highlights and Invert effects was significantly helpful. Thank you so much.
Incredible detail of the process. Thanks so much for all your work! I didn't mind the long running time. There's so much to cover. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic work. I think I've left a comment from before, when I saw this the first time last year, but now my greenscreening game has to get super-tight... so THIS is the video I knew I had to come back to. Can't imagine the amount of time it took to get all of this right - THANK YOU for going to the trouble and *especially* for posting here. Cheers!
Extraordinarily well-made, deeply informative greenscreening vid! I’m going to have to watch portions several times to extract all the useful data, but that’s a very effective use of evryone’s time. Very generous of you, props to you, and many thanks!
Fantastic! I had very similar problem working on this kind of problem. And I'm so frustrated not because I can't do it but because of the shoot supervisor who was supervising the shoot. Not having good knowledge on how to light and fix chroma during the shoot. And now we are having a hard time fixing all his mistakes. But thank you so much for this great tutorials!
Hands down this is the best chromakey tutorial I have found on TH-cam, it would be great to see an updated version five years on - what have you learnt since?
Wow! What a wonderfully detailed, educating video! I have been working on my VFX skills for a long time and thus have watched hundreds of videos on green screen keying and this by far was the most educating! I learned at least three new things! I will mostly likely watch this video again as I am sure I missed things the first time around. I just wanted to take the time and commend you on a job well done. Thank you for taking the time to explore all options and explain processes as your are using them. That makes a world of difference! I hope you do more videos like this in the future. Thank you again! Happy Holidays!!
Thank you SO MUCH. You've gotten to the detailed effects that really helped me with noise and flickering in white hair of my subject. (I'm crash coursing AE to composite a film- I have no compositing experience, lol.) I've really learned a TON of great tips from this that other people simply dont cover. Thanks so much.
Man, this is an awesome tutorial. All bases covered, no need to do further research. Can't stress enough how good of an idea the whole worst case scenario thing is. Thank you!
This is definitely a Master Class. Thank you! a big Thank you! you are amazing. cant thank enough. thank you! you have saved my days. Subbed, and notifications on.
By far the most in depth and best green screen tutorial I've seen. This includes payed for tutorials. Thank you and thank you for using the word googley. You're awesome!
8:50 pro tip - hold Ctrl while dragging the value for really fine adjustments. (or Shift for big adjustments). Both work when dragging 3D axis as well.
I Realy have to thank you for this tutorial. I have not found a better tutorial that goes step by step in explaining keying like you did here. I am not a newbie at all but you have shown me how to get better keying results in my work. I hope everyone that sees this tutorial realizes how much effort you put into this work. You made me better at what I do. Thanks for sharing, Gregory
Hi Lendon, Thanks for all these new techniques you are kindly sharing. Its actually far better than many of those 'professional' tutorials. Thanks for your help.
Man, this is a good video. You have a good way of explaining things at a detail and a speed that make the tutorials fun to follow. Thanks for the hard work!
Thanks alot , we need more of these detailed tuts it really help me a lot and i found many useful techniques that i can use in my composting shots. Thanks again !!
A lot of information, but I must say this is the best keying video I have watched. I've learned techniques (such as refine hard matte) which I haven't seen in any other keying video that I have watched! Thank you!
It's 2020 now and I'm surprised this vid hasn't crossed the 1 million views yet. Everything you need to know about greenscreening is in it. Awesome job!!
WOW. Been watching quite a few green screen tutorials to up my game. Yours is best, most comprehensive I have seen. Well done. I WILL watch your others.
Thx a lot for this great tutorial - having seen a lot of examples of useless or semi-useless greenscreen tutorials this was my ultimate fix of some problems of my footage. Thx a lot
This is simply the best tutorial i have ever seen.. i am trying to do a show and this is exactly what i needed.. Thanks alot bro.. you won my subscription...
im just starting and tNice tutorials video was perfect.Well explained and easy to follow for a beginner.I never understood soft soft till i watched tNice tutorials.
I did green screen the hard way before I found your video. You really took the time to understand every tool. I wish I saw this before finishing my recent short films. I won several awards at film festivals but a few people pinned me on my keying and said it wasn't up to par. If I had seen this earlier, maybe it would have come out better.
A good tutorial, like this one here, explains how the different sliders and buttons are working. In many other tuts people just say "Here is that slider. You can see what effect it does an adjust it to your liking." That not helpful to understand - its just try an error whithout knowledge. This is the best keying tutorial. Thanks for the good work.
This is by far the best keying video I've come across! I've been keying for a few years now and actually learned quite a bit. I hit the bell to keep up to date with your tutorials. Keep up the good work!
Awesome, glad you learned something! And thanks for keeping up with the channel. But yes, in this video I tried to speak to more of the advanced community such as your self I suppose. Although, giving necessary explanations for beginners as well.
Great green screen tutorial, exactly what I was looking for. You explained why you would use each effect, that helps people learn vs a quick how to video. Keep up the great tutorials!
damn this tutorial is actually sick, thanks mate
I miss the old Dani... But damn new Danny looking KINDA nice
Lol
Dani?! Nani?!
Also, I didn't think it was too long! Keying isn't something you can just gloss over and I think most tutorials miss the opportunity to discuss the challenges. You clearly know your stuff and I appreciated the depth you went into!
Glad you enjoyed all 40 minutes. You must have ambition!
One of the best and most complete tutorials I've seen on this subject. Period....
Thanks so much for leaving this comment!
This is the best green screen tutorial I've come across, so detailed and perfectly explained! Thank you so much ;).
Thanks! I'm actually making an updated keying and rotoing tutorial series right now!
Brilliant work Lendon!

experience
This was SO helpful. I was in a bit of a panic because my green screen looked awful and I had a tight deadline, but your video helped me fix the problem. Thanks!
Wow, the first example on it's own just blew my mind! This helped me out a ton! Thanks!
Really good of you to share these tips and techniques. Really helps the amateurs to get better.
