- Find the picture or the video you want to use
2. Create a new composition and keep the same settings. If you don’t know the right settings, these are the ones:
3. Import your video by pressing File (at the top) > Import> File
4. Drag the file into your timeline
5. Select the file and go to Effects> Keying> Keylight (1.2)
Your options will come on the left side of the computer
6. Press the pen tool
7. Then go around the green screen like this. Change the View from Final Result to Combined Matte.
8. Go to Screen Matte and then to Clip Black, so the green screen turns into black. While doing it, make sure you don’t black out the person as well.
9. Change the View back to Final Result
10. Change the Screen Balance to make it red around the body
11. Now you can add your own background by importing the picture you want. Import it the same way you imported the person. I’m going to import a 3D landscape.
Make sure the background is on top on your timeline
12. You can make the person smaller so it fits with the background. You can place it wherever you want.
You’re done 😉
