What is Compositing?

Walk through a full compositing example in Runway using Green Screen, Inpainting, and Motion Tracking.

- We’re going to use a combination of tooling in Runway to composite this example: Green Screen, Inpainting, and Motion Tracking.
- Drag desired background layer into the timeline below your subject layer.
- To remove the background from the top subject layer, select Green Screen to mask the subject out. Refine as needed.
- Track the background layer using Motion Tracking to emulate the movement in the foreground layer. Tip: select an area of high contrast for best results.
- Rescale or adjust position of tracked background layer to fill the frame.
- Use Inpainting to paint out any undesired objects or people in your background layer.
- Correct color of background to match foreground layer by using effects and LUTs. In this example, we use a LUT, the Hue/Saturation/Lightness effect, and a small amount of blur.
