After Effects keys out the green screen using a multitude
of different keying systems. Without a doubt, the easiest
and best keying system offered by Adobe is the Keylight
(1,2). After Effects then renders the alpha channel
version of the video in FLV using On2 VP6 codec format.

The subject is videoed in front of a green screen. Adobe
After Effects keys out the green screen using a multitude
of different keying systems. After Effects uses the
easiest and best keying system offered, called
Keylight(1,2) . After Effects then renders the alpha
channel version of the video in FLV using On2 VP6 codec
format.

"This keying method was used in the following scores of
films: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Die Another
Day, Blade 2, Resident Evil, Harry Potter and the
Sorceror's Stone, the Beach, Notting Hill, Sleepy Hollow,
Chicken Run, Lost in Space, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Truman
Show, Armaggeddon, The Big Lebowski, Mission Impossible,
Last Action Hero, The Saint, Strange Days, Little Buddha,
Waterworld, The Quick and the Dead and many, many more."

Once you have used Adobe's Keylight (1,2) to make the
background transparent, you can use special software to
show your transparent video. The transparent video lives
in a layer called dhtml and the video shows the alpha
channel video without a background. The background that
you see, is the web page. It is a nice effect.

The video has no background so you just view the subject.
Actually, the background was a green screen or a blue
screen. By using After Effects, you key out the background
and you end up with just the alpha channel. This page
demonstrates transparent video, RichDayHealthPlans. com

You must purchase the correct software, to show the alpha
only, but it isn't too expensive. I use Josh Anderson's
transparent video player product because it has many
features such as the video staying on the page as you
scroll. You can trigger another video after the first one
is done running. You can scroll down to a particular
portion on a page, such as the sign in form. These are
just a few of the features.

Although this is more advanced video than just uploading a
video to YouTube, it pays off rather nicely. You may have
some trouble finding After Effects software on eBay or
elsewhere. It isn't sold as a separate item. Unfortunately, you
will have to purchase After Effects as part of a suite of products.

Actually, you could download their software and test it for
30 days. Perhaps you could even do what you need to have
done in 30 days. Take the time to learn how to do this and
you will be on the cutting edge of website marketing using
website video. ]]> no@spam.com (Richard Day) Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:07:28 EDT http://www.articlesofadvice.com/articles/1021/1/Have-You-Seen-A-Transparent-Video/Page1.html
