A Definitive Guide To Resolve’s 3D Qualifier, Part 1 – The Workflow

A complete walkthrough using the 3D Qualifer for Chroma Keying

This tutorial features an in-depth look at the 3D Qualifier and its settings. By better understanding how to set up clips for keying and what each parameter does, you can create clean, accurate mattes for every composite and secondary grade you work on.

When chroma keying, many parameters can help produce a cleaner matte. However, these will often depend on:

The solution for one green screen composite may not work for another, and a ‘one recipe for all’ approach may never work. This is why it is important to understand the individual parameters of keying tools like the 3D Qualifier. It allows you to make informed decisions when creating a key. Instead, you need to learn the workflow steps that the 3D Qualifier expects you to follow to intelligently adapt the tool to the footage in front of you.
