Adobe Audition: Green screen removal with Ultra Key

Demo summary
The instructor demonstrates using the Ultra Key effect and eyedropper tool to remove a green screen and composite nature footage behind a door.
Step-by-step
- Open the Effect Controls panel or press Shift + 7.
- Search for 'Ultra Key' in the Video Effects > Keying folder and drag it onto the clip.
- Select the eyedropper icon in the Ultra Key settings and click the green color in the Program Monitor.
- Adjust the 'Choke' slider under Matte Cleanup to remove green edges.
- Move the door footage to a higher track on the timeline and place the nature footage underneath it.
- Select the nature clips, right-click, and select 'Nest' to group them.
- Click the stopwatch icon next to 'Scale' in Effect Controls to set a keyframe.
- Adjust the scale values at different points in the timeline to match the zoom of the door footage.
Options
- Access effects by manually twirling down folders or using the search bar.
- Use the Q key to ripple trim the beginning of a clip.
Watch out for
- The background footage must be placed on a track physically below the keyed footage in the timeline to be visible.
- If the top clip is zooming, the bottom clips will remain static unless you manually keyframe their scale to match.
Tips
- Use the arrow keys to move frame-by-frame to identify specific lighting or trim issues.
- Increase the scale of the background footage (e.g., to 60) to ensure no black edges are visible when a door or frame opens.
- Nesting multiple background clips makes it easier to apply a single scale animation across all of them.
