I've been tasked with doing some video work at my company and this is all extremely new to me. I am wondering if there's a way to change the background of a video to an image even though I did not use a green screen. What's the best way to achieve this?
Steve, gotta agree and disagree on this. AE has some pretty amazing tools that will automate this process. Yeah, AE has a stiff learning curve but I just needed to replace a small window in the background of a shot where the subjects hand and head occasionally go in front of the window... Found a tutorial on youtube and fixed it. The big issue is learning the basic interface and workflow in AE which is a really useful thing to learn... To the OP: you might see if you can find someone to hire to help with this who would be willing to let you watch over their shoulder (either in the room or remotely).
Hi! Would I be able to use rotoscoping even if I've already added subtitles and image overlays to the video? Would after effects be a better option over premiere if I'm just adding subtitles, shapes and custom logos to my videos?
Not sure I understand. For simple titles created in Premiere, premiere is fine. If you need to create the areas of transparency around a static logo, photoshop is probably the best solution unless the logo already has transparency built in. If you need further explanation of any of this, post back...
Sorry I should explain better. Basically I was asked to remove the background of a video AFTER I added our logo and subtitles to the video. So the video I would use the rotoscoping for already has subtitles and I'm wondering if it's better to just change the background from the raw footage that hasn't been editted.
so you've added the log and subtitles in premiere? Probably better to go back to the raw footage but would depend on the source and your intermediate output formats whether there'd be a noticable difference.
