Learn how to remove the Green Screen in After Effects

In the Movie or TV, actors run or fly through elaborate and exotic landscapes or they ride on dragons backs or visit magical realms with towering citadels inhabited by fantastic creatures that don’t exist in the real world. Sometimes the story takes place in a native city, but in the distant past or the far-off future. Sometimes characters stage epic fights that seem to pulverise landmarks or places that audiences know well or where they live. And sometimes, the person is physically transformed or defy the laws of gravity. This all things are only possible using Chroma keying technique which quickly and easily remove the green screen and panel from the people standing in front of them and replaces the backgrounds with pretty much anything.
