    How to take high quality chroma key in Adobe After Effects CS5 ? (Part 1-Creating a garbage matte)

    Create a garbage matte
    When using a green or a blue screen,the only area that matters is the area around the subject.However,while filming a video you intentionally or unintentionally include extra elements in the video frame.The first step in the chroma keying process is to create a garbage matte,which is a mask that you draw to remove the unnecessary areas of the video frame and to isolate the subject and the area immediately around it.The garbage matte has to completely enclose the subject.If the subject is moving it is important to animate the vertices of the mask to accommodate the moving subject in the video frame.
    Perform the following steps to create a garbage matte:
    1. Drag the files into a new composition in the project panel.In our case we have created a new composition called chroma keying and placed two footage items in the timeline panel.
      Two footages in the composition chroma keying
       
    2. Select the layer containing the green/blue screen background in the timeline panel.
    3. Move the playhead to the desired time mark on the timeline,where the subject takes maximum area on the screen.
    4. Select the tool that you want to use to create the garbage mask.in our case we have selected rectangle tool.
      Rectangle tool in adobe after effects cs5
    5. Select rectangle tool and click and drag the mouse pointer around the subject to create the garbage mask.
      Garbage matte hides the unnecessary part of the video frame
    6. Select File ->Save from the Menu bar to save the project.
    You can use the pen tool to create the garbage mask in case you want to mask out complex areas.It is always preferred to create a large garbage mask to not cut out any of the subject's movement.Alternatively,you can create  a smaller mask that matches the contours of the figure of subject and then animate the position of the vertices on the path using the Mask Path property.
       In the next part you will learn how to create a chroma key like a pro.

    It has now been common that at least 10 of every 100 files that you download from the internet is password locked.This is locked either because it is scam or the owner doesn't actually want to share it with you.There is no way to realize whether it is fake or not other than just opening the password protected file.Getting the passwords to unlock these are quite difficult because most of them are locked down in surveys.I have already told you how to open password protected zip file without password in my previous posts.I have seen a great positive response to my how to open password protected rar file without password posts.Therefore I will share a similar trick to unlock zip files without password in this post.

      Choosing The Right Recovery Option & Settings? (Very Important)

      Recovery Tab

      There are three different recovery options in the Recovery tab in this RAR Password Unlocker Tool.They are as follows:
      • Brute-force Attack-This method tries all the possible combinations to unlock.This is recommended  for RARs downloaded form the internet where you don't know anything about the password.
      • Brute-force with Mask Attack-This is almost similar to the above method.The only difference is that you can use this method in cases where you know some symbols or letters of the password.
      • Dictionary Attack-This method is recommended in cases where a user has forgotten the password or the user believes that the password is an english word rather any symbols.You can manually set any dictionary file in this tool.

      Brute-force Tab

      When brute force with mask attack is selected the options in the brute force tab becomes usable.This options include the ability to set the password length and provide information about the password including prefix,suffix,letter,numerals,etc.We highly recommend you to fill up these information if you are using the brute force with mask attack option.

      Dictionary Tab

      This tab gets enabled when you select the dictionary option.This tab includes a couple of features including ability to use different dictionary file,max password lengths,etc.

      The option tab includes 3 options including program priority,auto-save function,auto shut down upon recovery completion.

      All You Need To Know About SSDs | Buyers Guide

      Complete Guide To SSDs
      SSDs are storage drives which have an increase performance than hard drives.SSD stand for Solid State Drives.They are so fast in read and write,power efficient,less size and weight,no moving parts,less heat output,increase lifespan,etc.If you want to upgrade your hardware components for performance then upgrading your PC with a SSD is the best that you could do.SSDs are so expensive when compared to a Hard Disk.That is why many people still use HDD.If you are looking to upgrade your PC with a SSD then this post is right for you.I hope this guide to SSD helps you.

      Pros Of SSDs

      • Speed;Access Time - SSD are so fast than HDD.This is because they use flash memory to store data rather than a magnetic tape.

      • Lifespan - They are having a very good lifespan than a HDD.HDDs have moving parts inside them which makes the drive wear down after a long time.SSDs do not have any mechanical or moving parts like HDDs and therefore has a better life span than HDDs.
      • Size & Weight - They are usually available in 2.5 inch size that can be fit in a laptop.There are also 3.5 inch SSDs.You need to have a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch mounting adapter to install a 2.5 inch SSD onto your 3.5 inch bay.They are also lighter than a HDD.
      • Significantly Less Heat -They produce comparatively less heat than a typical HDD.Less heat means your computer can run more efficient for a longer period of time.
      • Power Efficiency - They are power efficient too.They consume less power than a HDD.
      • Generates No Noise - As I mentioned earlier they do not have any mechanical parts in them.This makes them noise free!

      Cons Of SSDs

      • More expensive - They are so expensive than a HDD.For example: A 3TB 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0 Gb/s  HDD will costs around $140 whereas a 512 GB SSD will costs you around $520.
      • Less Capacity - SSDs are now available in small capacities only.

      Choosing The Right SSD

      All SSDs are fast but when you are spending your dollars on a less storage device you should consider these tips.
      • High Maximum Speeds - Max read speeds are around 400MB/second, and max write speeds are around 300MB/sec . These numbers do not have to be exact. A little faster or slower won't make a significant difference.
      • Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory - When shopping for SSDs you might have come across MLC and SLC memory.The primary difference is that MLC memory can store more information on a each cell and it is cheaper than SLC memory.SLC memory has a more performance than MLC.
      • SATA 3 - This term confuses to many people.Some people consider this term as SATA port with 3.0 GB/s while some consider this as the generation name.Usually this is said in generation name i.e. a SATA 3(6.0 GB/s) or SATA 2(3.0 GB/s).Make sure your SSD supports SATA 3 for faster performance.You will enjoy the speed of SATA 3 only if your SSD and your motherboard supports it.All SSDs are backward compatible i.e ven if your SSD is SATA 3 you can still run it previous generation SATA ports.
