Video Transcription
Hi, this is Margaret from Noble Desktop. This is a video on the Track Matte Key and Ultra Key in Premiere Pro. I have a video here of people dueling and I'd like the title to say "Duel" and have them fighting inside the letters.
To do this, I first press 'T' for the text tool and write "Duel". I select it and go under Effects Controls and Open Text. I make it super large and bold. Under Video Effects, I have a Track Matte Key. I drop it on the video, not on the text, and check my Key Composite using Matte Alpha.
I also have the Ultra Key option, which is used when removing the green screen. I select it, double-click on Ultra Key, and use the eyedropper to choose the green. I keep the Composite option and bring the road beneath her. I also adjust the opacity, highlights, and choking to get rid of any edges around her.
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson on the Track Matte Key and Ultra Key. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
