Not sure if this question is too specific for this forum but here goes ....

I'm in the process of editing a video interview . The person was shot against a dull white wall( which looks greenish in the video) and not against the blue/green screen. Is there any way I can eliminate the background behind my Interviewee and superimpose any other nicer looking image (even a partial elimination will do )? I did play around with the Transparency settings (chroma keys, luminance, mattes etc) but did not get a satisfactory result.....any advice would be a great help.

thanks
Iris.

Please answer this question for me too, because this is exactly what I'm going to be doing somewhere this week. We have no video equipment in my workplace and I have no big blue sheet/screen to shoot against. (why make a video then? Because .. well .. i had this shupid idea and nothing to lose but time so i thought why not)

keying/greenscreening/bluescreening is much more a job for after effects than premiere. i haven't done his myself but DVgarage has lots of info and sells an after effects plug-in called DVmatte that's designed for this. there's lots of info in their forums too. hope that helps.

mmmmm..... your options are limited in Premiere..... the transparency option is about all you can do mate. Play with it more.

Fey, in premiere you can key out any flat color (blue, green, pink, yellah, black...)... but it has to be FLAT. evenly lit.. no shadows or highlights on it.

One technique (sans After Effects) with which I've had some success is exporting the movie as a Photoshop 'Filmstrip' file. Photoshop's selection options are significantly more sophisticated than Premiere's. It'll take some patience and a bit of luck, but if your interview isn't too long this just might be the option for you.

I found the "Filmstrip" technique to be very helpful mobrul. But as my interview is not short, I can't really use it on this project....editing all those frames..a lot of work ..phew !!!
but its a very handy technique to know........
