Bent Rønne Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Is it possible with “one click” to replace a Green Screen with a transparent background in Affinity Photo? Normally I’m using Final Cut Pro X to make videos, and in this application I’m used to use Green Screen as Chroma key. Is there a similar function in Affinity Photo?

Staff MEB Posted January 31, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi Bent Rønne, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, we don't have a one-click/auto feature to remove green screen although you can obviously to it manually. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Werner Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If you want to mimic what the old Ultimatte boxes used in television used to do, you can use Apply Image and use SG-MAX(SR,SB) as an expression for each red, green and blue (set alpha to 1 or simply leave it at sa). That's going to give you a grayscale mask. Clean that up with Levels, Invert, and then go Layer > Rasterize to Mask. You can save that as a macro and it's as close as it gets to a one click solution. An alternative approach that is also quite quick is to use is Select > Select Sampled Color. Can't test how well it works with green screen material right now, though, since I can't use selections due to this annoying bug, but it should work pretty well until Affinity gets a real HSL keyer.

antimattr Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I concur, this feature would be very helpful for a project I am working on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Werner Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 An indirect way to achieve this if you really need to right now might be with a third party Photoshop compatible keying plugin like Primatte for Photoshop or maybe you can find an old copy of Ultimatte AdvantEdge for cheap. But I don't think the Photoshop versions have seen much development recently, and there is currently no OpenFX plugin support in Affinity yet.
