Cutting out silhouettes and inserting elements in virtual settings requires a certain skill to manipulate color and create cuts through a chromatic key (or chroma key) that allows us to differentiate which areas we intend to replace and which ones we intend to maintain. The same does not happen when we try to make cuts in static images since in this type of compositions we can work with a variety of methods and tools such as the magic wand or ties.
As you know, we have already seen several exercises to cut both photos and videos. And today I have come across a very interesting package that contains videos prepared at a professional level to be cut and practice the chroma key technique. Although we can apply it ourselves through a matte green fabric (or failing that, blue), the truth is that in order to obtain a professional result, it is necessary that we have a team that provides us with certain benefits. Lighting for example is crucial, because it will depend on whether our background is more or less homogeneous and it will also help us to modulate and control the influence of shadows and reflections.
To all of you who are getting started in digital post-production, I recommend that you start by doing some tests with videos that are already prepared and of a certain quality. I am sure that many of you will use it very well to practice and insert special effects from applications like Adobe After Effects with these types of videos. You can access the package at the following address.
