How to key out a green suit.

Hello. Is there a way to key out green object in MEP Premium 2021? I know how to replace green background, but struggle to make a person, wearing a green suit, invisible, especially in the middle of a room, or a street. I would appreciate any help.

@Tomek

Can you post a screenshot of the room scene and street scene.

I suspect that if they contain other green objects, using Chromakey green - note this only works with specific 'green' colours - will not be effective, methods to try:

If there are no other green objects in the scenes try using Chromakey, Color and select the persons suit.
Another option would be to use animated mask, however the outdoor scene could make it difficult to create one, the indoor scene may be possible - see this tutorial.
Use Photo and Graphics Designer to create a moving mask as in @browj2 tutorial here.

Hi John. I have deleted those scenes, therefore unable to post screenshot. It was nothing important, for now I'm just learning how to use the program and come up with new ideas. There was no other green objects. I think animated masking will do the job if I use the same clip. I'll give it a go later. Thanks for the tutorials, very helpful.

Have a nice weekend :)
