How to Key Green Screen Footage in Final Cut Pro X?

Green screen footage is used in a vast amount these days. There are many production houses where people can’t arrange suitable sets to shoot. So, they shoot by applying green screen i.e croma then Croma is cut by video editor or compositing artist. 

The reason for cutting Croma is to add another background to your video. 

For this thing, make sure that video was shot in particular lightning. 

Now, if you are a compositing artist then you have many software for Croma cutting like Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Apple Motion etc. Every software has a different way of cutting croma. 

Today let’s discuss how can we do croma cutting in Final Cut Pro: 

• Open Final Cut Pro Just open Apple FCP software and make a new project. 
• Import footage After creating a new project, import the desired footage that you want to edit. To import the footage either press short command comm+I or Go to file>import. 
• Drag it to the timeline. The next step is to drag your footage in the timeline to edit. 
• Apply effect Apply keying effect from the effects library. Here you will find two effects like keyer and luma keyer. Drag the keyer effect over to your clip and place it above your clip. 
• Refine it Unluckily you can’t get your croma cut clearly. You have to make some changes to make it perfect. 

Now go to keyer settings and you will find options like: 

• Refine key: It is used to refine the edges and part which is not clear. 
• Strength: Strength means how much croma cutting you want in your footage. 
• Jump to sample: It means you can go to sample part of the croma directly. 
• View: As it named view, i.e you can see the view of footage having croma, having no croma and transparent one. 
• Fill holes: It is used to fill the holes where croma is not cutting properly. 
• Edge distance: You can adjust the edge distance. 
• Spill level: It is used to add magenta in a particular part of green screen.
• Invert: Invert means opposite, it reverse the keyer from the particular space. 
• Color selection: It is used to color correct the particular color from the footage. 
• Matte tools: It is used to clear the roughness and patchy part from the footage. 

Now you can change the background of the footage as you want. 

You should apply the background which matches the theme. Just import the image and footage and apply as a background. 

If you are willing to learn croma cutting in Final Cut Pro then you can learn online but it is worth it if you learn Final Cut Pro in depth.
