Can a section of greenscreen be cut from video?

PostSat Jul 30, 2022 1:17 am

I have a video where the footage was shot against a smooth green screen but the lighting wasn't evenly distributed.

As a result I get a clean key on 90% of the picture but the green at bottom right corner of the video is so dark that every attempt to key it out results in 90% of the main figure in the image being keyed out as well.

I think if there were a way to simply remove that corner of green from the video, I wouldn't have to try to key it out and the problem would be solved. Much like Affinity allows you to cut out sections of an image when creating a transparent background.

I just haven't found a way to do this in Resolve. It is possible?

You can use a garbage matte. Check out this video.

you can also pull multiple keys and combine them together, if your subject crosses into the shadow area.
