It’s often necessary to adjust both your images to make the foreground and background look as if they were shot together. The only thing missing is balancing the foreground image to the background image.

You can get acceptable results with well-shot footage, and the composites you create work well for the rough-cut of the video. We find that Final Cut Pro offers a robust chroma keyer, and that it’s well suited for the initial edit. The workflows we cover here are meant to serve as an inspiration but are no means right for every situation. For most of you reading this book, you will need to explore the many different options available and choose the ones that work best for you. The “right” method really depends on a variety of factors including acquisition format, lighting approach, subject matter, and personal taste. There are several ways to get the job done when it comes to keying.
