Learn the art of Image Integration
This is not only a keying course. Image integration is one of the most essential skills of a compositor. Even if you can get an alpha of an image, knowing how to artistically blend and adjust colors to draw the eye is even more important.

This course teaches the creative process of seeing contrast and value, color and edge blending, diffusion and black levels, camera artifacts and exposure, and more

Taught like a University
Learn keying visually! Before jumping into software, it’s important to learn the theory and concepts behind what you’re doing.

Similar to university lectures, numerous concepts are covered using diagrams, illustrations, and explanations – before jumping into the Nuke portion.

One of our core philosophies is taking something complex, and making it SIMPLE to understand.

Realistic Scenarios. Feature Film level keying.
Green Screen removal on feature films isn’t as simple as selecting one color.

We go through difficult real world keying exercises, such as keying an unevenly lit greenscreen. This requires dozens of combined keys, rotoscoping, and various techniques to extract

You will also learn techniques about advanced edge fixes, edge painting, patch fixes, advanced camera grain workflows and more.

Methods for edges, grain, and script structure
Working on a green screen key for film requires a very detailed approach. Advertising, Episodic Television, and Feature Film require different levels of detail or speed.

In this course you will learn feature film level keying (the most detailed keys and edge integration possible) – so you can work in any of these three fields by knowing a wide array of techniques.
