ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL

Description.

Turn ordinary footage into an alpha matte and a transparent foreground using FREE software—even without a green screen. In this full tutorial, I walk through setup, subject selection, quality settings, rendering, and exporting transparent footage for compositing. You’ll see actual results with moving hair, an ordinary background, and green-screen footage. ⬇️ Download the free software: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_BcW4QnbI-yqU9UwoujWv2Agn13mqCOW/view?usp=sharing 🌐 Website: GETVFX Studios Chapters 00:00 Original footage vs. finished foreground 00:20 Download and system requirements 00:40 Launch the software 00:55 Import your footage 01:10 Subject-selection options 01:34 Preview your selection 01:52 Generate without a mask 02:08 Choose the background setting 02:25 High vs. Low quality 02:50 High-quality frame limit 03:05 Generate the foreground 03:26 Inspect the finished result 03:46 Alpha matte explained 04:11 Export ProRes 4444 and RGBA PNGs 04:35 Green-screen settings 04:49 Finished green-screen result 05:08 Check against different backgrounds 05:26 Try your own footage This tutorial uses the Windows/NVIDIA build.
