Hi @Led00 ,

Could you let us know the camera you are using and we can see if it records in 10bit colour (which can help)? Be sure that you are not standing too close to the green screen which can result in background colour "spill" in which reflected light is cast upon your subject resulting in an ugly key. Make sure the background is lit as evenly as possible and use a separate light on the subject if you have one. As jetdv mentions, the NewBlue keyer can give superior results and has a rudimentary masker to minimize the amount of the image you need to key out.

I've used color corrector secondary for this which lets you precisely select the greens you want to remove.

Hey Community,

First of all, thank you all for reaching out, I am glad I can get the help :)

Before recording in front of green screen I have done research as best as I could. So I did use two seperate lights for green screen and two for the subject and also am using Chroma Key Pro. All in all, I have reached the top of what I can do and from this point I am searching for someone who can do it better than me just so I can see how good can it look if I know what to click :)

What if you just post a link to the footage here?

I understand at this point you're asking for someone to help turn-key to show you the best might look given what you've shot already, and you don't want to mess with it anymore -- ya?

While I don't have time to invest in that level of hands-on for the next month (sorry!), I'll throw in my hat for BCC Primatte Studio (part of Continuum suite) -- that thing has done an incredible job for some of my more difficult keys (excessive shadowing on the screen)

I 2nd what @RogerS wrote above -- upload your 10-second video somewhere (private/unlisted is fine) so ppl here can download and take a crack at it. I've found very helpful ppl here who are often up for a nice challenge, and pretty darned skilled!

Once again, thanks to all who are helping me :)

Here is a drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Syfhm8KjfPL0JCR6SP0svj4p3ld-A4RL/view?usp=drive_link

My goal is for the subject to be almost completely dark (therefore I am in black) and only my hands and guitar to be highlighted.

In the background i would use either total black or blurred photo of music studio that will also be very dark...

@Led00 Hi, you need to change the Access in Google to 'Anyone with this link'

These settings seemed to work great for me:

All I changed was the color and color range. Seems a very solid key on this segment.

Using the same "color" in the built-in VEGAS Chroma key you can get a fairly good key by changing both the lower and upper limits but it's not anywhere as solid as Chroma Key Pro. Sometimes the background would show through on the neck of the guitar.

I just added the "yellow" background to be able to clearly see the key (hard to see black on a black background.)

The problem I am trying to solve is observable when you look at those white "tuning pegs" on the head of the guitar. There are a lot of flickers which I cannot seem to resolve. The same happened with @jetdv settings.

I'm not seeing that. What do the "flickers" look like? I even zoomed in on the top of the neck to see that section more clearly.

I am seeing some moire patterns due to the strings.

@Led00 I see the flicker on the edge of the upper pegs, the chrome keys are reflecting the green with a bit of spill & edge blur also. I think that is more about lighting, focus & camera quality rather than the keyer itself.

Vegas's Chroma Keyer gives quite a good job but I second @RedRob-CandlelightProdctns suggestion of Primatte Studio, it is a far better keyer.

This is Primatte, I zoom in at the end, there's still some shimmering around the edge but if you look at your fingers next to it they've fairly crisp edges, you can see the green on the curved head neck, lower part of the head & lower keys, I tried to key that back in the best I could. (Primatte has multiple options for removing 'noise & spill' from the background or foreground, also edge options, pic below), Like I say i think this is about reflection...

Green screen is better with a back light if you haven't got one, this helps with that green edge you can get by lighting that area but t also interrupts green reflecting from the background.

PS. Primatte has built in Mocha masking & tracking so unkeyable areas can be excluded

Boris FX Primatte Studio using only Auto Analyze. @Gid what version do you have? I have 9.1850

Vegas Pro 22 Chroma Keyer

@Reyfox 9.1754, I haven't upgraded recently. I hardly did any adjustment on that video above, & the one below I've done nothing but Auto Analyze, if I zoom in like i have done above there's a little bit of shimmering but not much, (There's a good chance i made the one above worse by adding the bright yellow background & light wrap... 🤦‍♂️😂)

These are all just with Auto Analyze, no further adjustment.

Boris just released 2025.5. As always, a nice release. But the price has gone up. Still, for what you get with it, it is an amazing kit.

@Reyfox 👍

How does yours treat the CPU/GPU ?. I've got no integrated graphics but it still uses my CPU more than my GPU.

This was with Auto Analyze only.

But the first video that did have a little adjustment ..

@Led00 This is NewBlue Chroma Key Pro, it's pretty good but for the price I'd go with Boris Continuum (Primatte Studio) , if nothing else the majority of Boris fxs inc Mocha masking/tracking.

Wow, guys, good work!

@Gid can you tell me the settings you used for NewBlue?

When I bought Vegas Pro 20, did I get license for Boris..?

@Led00 Sorry I didn't keep the settings, to be honest I didn't spend a lot of time on it.

I just dragged in a Green Key preset I'd made at some point & played with the Sensitivity, Colour Range & added a bit of Feather.

@Led00 Try these settings in Chroma Key Pro:

I'll second/third all the advice about Primatte Studio. This is the result I got with just 20 to 30 seconds work
