It's so nice and rare to see videos of advanced techniques shared just for the pleasure of passing on knowledge. Your channel is priceless. Thank you very much for that tutorial.
Hi Emilio, it's a very thorough tutorial. The only thing I didn't quite understand was why this was needed, because in your starting point it already looks pretty nice. It would have helped me to see what the problem was with the footage, before you started on improving it. You also mention in the beginning that the image is prekeyed, but in the end you show that there still is a green background as well. But again: very nicely done and it's easy to follow along.
The footage was prekeyed in the sense that I did the key myself as I showed in the end of the video. This specific footage had a very little edge problem but my goal here was to showcase how to extend edges based on an alpha more than anything else… hope this answers your question!
For some reason a previous answer of mine has disappeared from RU-vid… anyway, I did not want to show the keying process. The video intent is to showcase the edge extension techniques. Why using edge extend? Sometimes it happens that a good key, with a good despill and additive keying is just not enough. In those cases edge extension is your best friend.
Hey there... Actually this technique is also sometimes needed to fix too noisy edges, and/or to help doing the technique also quickly showed here which is edge matte/core matte. Being aware of the rest, I particularly appreciated the basic but efficient custom tool operation to round values of in between alpha ones, grazie mille ;)
@@MillolabTuts Hey Emilio, how far down would you prioritize edge extension in the list of techniques you'd use, ie core and edge matte first, good despill next, additive key, any other techniques then use edge extension as a last resort? also which of these methods are actually implemented in the AdvancedEdgeExtend fuse, feels like the clean plate method?
Hey @MillolabTuts! I love your tutorials and would be interested to see how you'd create the "A24" logo in Davinci Resolve? I've seen a number of After Effects tutorials, but not one for the Fusion page. It seems simple, but there's a lot of little complexities that makes it quite elegant.
I do have a “advanced keying” tutorial on my channel where I explain the subtract/add process (additive keying)what I’m doing here it’s basically the same thing but a bit more fancy.
