Before using Chroma Key

Chroma Key is a choice for those who want to remove video background and replace it. But before starting recording remember these tips :

Make sure the backround is lighted and not dark.
Make sure to avoid wrinkles
Everything same to the color of background will be removed so dont use green or blue clothes.

Lets see what happens when the background is not lighted enought.

Using Ultra Key in premiere causes shadows and if you remove those shadows the subject becames less accurate, I mean you cant see more details on the edges and you see like something is moving on the hairs.

The exact same thing is when the background has wrinkles and those dark areas are very hard to remove, even if in After Effects.

"But you can avoid these problems if you care a little bit by working with the background before the shoot"

Video format explained and compared

This article explains main video formats and later compares with photos the quality. Audio Video Interleave (.avi) Developed by Microsoft and released with Windows 3.1 way back when false teeth were still made out of wood, AVI files have been a work horse of digital video. Although its popularity has been waning, lots of legacy video in AVI can be found all over the web. More recently, AVI has been abandoned for Microsoft's WMV (Windows Media Video). One of the most maddening things about AVI today is that the format doesn't allow for specifying an aspect ratio, so a 16:9 AVI video may start displaying at 4:3 - this is less of a problem if your player allows you to manually select aspect ratios. If you're watching in the non-pro version of QuickTime though, you'll have to learn to live with people being unusually narrow. Advanced Systems Format (.asf) ASF is a proprietary Microsoft container that usually houses files compressed with Microsoft's

MPEG 2 vs H264 vs H265

As time moves away, compression techniques are created. As a beginning we all have seen an AVI movie about 2 hours and equal to 30-40 GB. After that nee techniques were invented with a main reason : Same quality, less storage. MPEG group created some compression standarts like MPEG1,2 and 4 but MPEG 2 became really important and is being used in many devices. What about H264 and H265? Well, the quality is the same but they use less memory in your disk, H265 < H264 < MPEG 2. But, is H265 worth? Well the simpliest answer is you but rembere : the higher the compression the higher the export time is. So if you have a powerfull computer use it. But H265 is new and it is not tested in some devices. The good news is that google supports H265. This format is the greatest solution for youtube videos.
