In, this video and, actually the next few videos for this chapter, we're going to use three effects to actually pull a very clean green screen key. And we'll start by applying those three effects by using one of the effect presets. So let's select layer 1 in the timeline and go to the effect and presets panel. In that panel I want you to open up the options for the animation presets and then scroll down to the Image utilities folder. In there, if you scroll down, there are several different keying options, and the one that I want you to choose is this Key Light option. Now since we can't read it, I'll go ahead and just make it a little larger.

See it's going to apply a Key Light, key cleaner and advanced spill suppressor. So to apply all we have to do is just double click on that preset.

As long as we have layer one selected it'll automatically apply that preset in the effect controls panel. Okay I'm just going to make the right side of the interface a little smaller here so we can see what's going on. Pak Army Mp4 Songs there. Now the beauty in using this preset is the fact this screen color is automatically linked through these two other effects. Through expressions and they're already set up. So all we have to do is click on the eye dropper for the screen color. Now, usually when I'm keying a color, like green or blue in the background, what I like to do is find the darkest area.

So down here I'm just going to click, not right next to her body but, pretty close to her left arm here, so I'll just go ahead and click on the green, and that will go ahead, and pull the green key. Now you might think this looks pretty good straight away, but what you need to do is change the magnification up to 100% in the lower left corner of your composition panel, and then just press the space bar to kind of move around. In here, you can see it's a little soft up here and I have a little bit of a green bleed that's happening here and it's a little soft in the, in the right area here.

Since we have three different effects applied, if you want to toggle the original footage on and off, I would just suggest going to the timeline and toggling all of the effects off and on. So here, you can see that her hair is right here in this one, a little area.
