We will start off by covering what compositing is and what a tool is. We will then take a look at importing images into Composite so you learn how to begin work on your own projects. After that, you will learn to use the common tools to build compositions. And to wrap up this project, we will go over how to render your projects out of Composite to show the world what you have accomplished. This series of step-by-step videos were developed with artists new to Composite in mind so we will be moving at a steady, easy-to-follow pace making sure you understand terms and basic techniques.

We'll begin this project by learning what a chroma key is and what we need to look out for while we shoot the greenscreen footage. From there, we begin keying a sample shot using the Keyer supertool. We'll then learn how to refine our matte and edge using the various built-in modifiers. Then we'll combine multiple Keyers to get the best possible result. Finally, we will composite our keyed footage over a background and learn about spill suppression and some compositing tricks to integrate our pieces of footage. We'll end by learning a method of treating compressed or chroma subsampled footage to pull better keys.

We'll begin this project by learning the basic composition creation process, learning how to move around the Composite user interface, begin compositing images together and render out our finished material. We'll then move into the common uses of Composite such as Color Correction, Masking, 3D compositing and Animation. This series of lessons is a great starting point to learning Composite. By learning the tools and fundamental workflows of Composite, we will be able to create complex effects and images in no time. This will allow us to begin exploring other areas of Composite and start using Composite in our own production pipeline.

We'll begin this project by learning about the garbage mask tool. We'll then learn how to easily and quickly control our mask shape and edge feathering using Toxiks powerful Edge Point system. We'll then jump into the basic workflows of animating masks and how we can keep a consistent shape for a more appealing matte. We'll end by outputting our mask into an image sequence that can be used in other applications.

We'll begin this project by learning the basic composition creation process, learning how to move around the Toxik user interface, begin compositing images together and render out our finished material. We'll then move into the common uses of Toxik such as Color Correction, Garbage Masks, blending Modes, and Animation. Toxik 2010 introduces some workflow changes that make it easier and quicker to use. We'll also learn about the Tool Options panel and how to use Presets inside of Toxik.

We'll begin this project by doing a simple one point track using some easy footage. We'll then learn how to do a two point track on real footage. Lastly, we'll track the four corners of a television screen. We'll then learn some tips and tricks for getting a track from difficult footage and how to take our four point track and finish the shot using color correction tools to match the images together.

In this series of lessons we'll learn how to get started using the compositing software Toxik. Using Toxik we can quickly color correct, mask, composite, or animate still images and image sequences. We'll begin this project by learning the basic project/composition creation process, learning how to move around the Toxik user interface, begin compositing images together and render out our finished material. We'll then move into the common uses of Toxik such as color correction, garbage masks, blending modes, and animation. This series of lessons is a great starting point to learning Toxik. By learning the tools and fundamental workflows of Toxik, we will be able to create complex effects and images in no time. This will allow us to begin exploring other areas of Toxik and start using Toxik in our own production pipeline.
