Alpha Channel
-
Hello there,
thank you for help in advance!I am having a video which has a white backround and moving hand (scale from grey to blue/violet) and I would like to achieve that which color becomes totally transparent, while having hand in tact. I manage to get transparencies, but in total frame (including hand was getting transparent, which I do not want).
Down I tried one patch, however I doubt that is good, since I am still getting white background.
Greetings,

Here its how it looks. I will clear out that FX, recorded output, after I do Aplha Channel, so I keep it on GPU. Its just a test. Thanks.

Did you try it with the chroma key actor? There is also a FFGLChromaKey actor, I think it's in the TroikaTronix FreeFrameGL Plugin Collection.

HI Michel,
I have partial success with traditional Chroma Key - but there is bit too much of a noise. FFGL gives me control only over entire frame. Regardless of FX what is there before, I just trying to get that blue hand on transparent background.
Maybe its not work for Isadora, but some editing/FX software.
Thank you anyway.

Dear @em_tx,
Given that you have a white background, I would suggest the Luminance Key actor, which is based on brightness not color. Try that... you might have better success.Best Wishes,Mark -
I did not really succeed with complete isolating hand that its stays and everything gets transparent. With Luma I am able to get hand transparent (and insert content there), however not a background. Video file I am using is an output of Isadora. I am getting solid white. Its also quite rough.
With Chroma key I can get subject floating while background (even white) is transparent, but its very rough.
I tried with After Effects, just I would like to ask which format/codec takes Isadora, that I can import video, where I am able to maintain color and texture while having transparent background and keep the detail.Thank you very much!

I like "hap alpha" for video with an alpha channel.

the screen capture looks like the correct sort of setup, except that you will gain much in performance using Vid_gpu rather than cpu and,I suggest using the native isadora plugin "Luminance Key". It offers more control and, includes help text that can help you understand the inputs.
