Video editing

1

I am not sure if this is the right section to post this but please bare with me moderators :slight_smile: …

I want to do some fairly heavy video editing to somewhat resemble the ipod commercials (you know those commercial where someone is dancing and there body a solid color and the background is a different solid color). Well I am trying to decide what program I could use that could incorporate video editing like this and be able to export into falsh as a movie clip.

I am not sure exactly what program to use but I am thinking probably Discreet’s Combustion (i dont like apple products so please dont suggest them). Please give me your suggestions and tips for what products to use. Thanks.

Mike

I threw it in the Forum Help > Other. Random is more for general talk. The help forums may be better for this kind of question.
(granted less traversed, but a link still remains in Random so it will get more attention that way :slight_smile: )

Well the thing is I am not quite sure. I will probably have to borrow a camera but I could probably get it in most any format.

you could use combustion, and some key tracking so you can have a paint operator on the character to have that silhouette/cut out look…

or you could use after effects and reverse the auto colour key… (i ve seen it done , but never done it myself)

If you have the chance maybe it will be easy to film people in front of a green screen / blue screen. will be easy to work on when editing, epsecially if you want to add your own background…
