I have a question - This seems like a technique that is keying specific, but just in case I missed something, can you clarify if/how this helps with DSLR footage that doesn't need to be keyed? Or am I misunderstanding your comment on 8-bit footage from the 5d?
Hey Sandeep, yes you are correct it only applies to footage that needs to be keyed, my comment on 8 bit footage from a DSLR was referring to the sad fact that I sometimes will get footage to be keyed from the 5D, I might have gone through that bit a little quick :)
Check out the the chroma option in the new blur tool. If you change the colorspace from RGB to YUV, it opens up the options to blur Chroma+Luma, Luma, or Chroma only. If you select the Chroma Only I think you can take out the first chunk of nodes and just use a single blur. Unless I'm missing something of course!
Hey Alex, I just tried what you said and you're right it does the exact same thing, I didn't realise they changed the blur node and I am used to doing it the way that i learnt in Shake, i guess one plus is you can see exactly what is going on behind the scenes when you do that i guess
Another nice tutorial Joel, thanks!
