Quote Hi, say you just masked something using the adjustment mask and it lasts for 30 keyframes. Do you have to make the green scteen for each keyframe?

I'm not quite sure how to answer that, because it sounds like you're asking about working with a green screen kind of backwards.

What I mean is that you'd typically record a scene with the person or object in front of a green screen, which is then chroma-keyed out so a completely differernt background can be added in the finished photo or video. You normally wouldn't create a green screen by masking a timeline object.

If you've created a mask, you can already place that object directly on top of another background without doing anything else. There's no need for a green screen.

If you're asking whether the mask needs to be applied to all 30 frames, the answer is a mask will last as long as you have it applied, but if the subject is moving then you'd need to adjust the mask in each keyframe to match.

Does this explanation help?

I don't have an actual green screen. I want to try masking an object, removing the background and adding another background in PD. In order to do that I believe I have to make something similar to a green screen in CD.

Yes, you are right. Have a look:

Awesome thanks

Hi Mouhamad, that's a really great video from Hatti.
I wanted to find out if it's easy to produce a greenscreen in post a few years ago after watching Star Wars Rebellion by hitfilm. It was made with earlier version of software but the principle is the same. Where as Hatti skillfully uses the tracking function, mine is static. It's just a variation on the same theme. Here is my video which may be of some use to you.

Kind Regards I just want to edit and make pictures, walk my dog and go fishing.
