• Blend the new sky with the original footage using feathered masks

• Extract foreground elements with the Luma keyer for realistic compositing

• Color correct the replacement sky to match your footage

• Create animated garbage masks that follow camera movement

Key Techniques:

• Creating planar transform data from tracked footage

• Using rectangle masks with feathering for horizon blending

• Refining Luma keyer settings to preserve foreground detail while allowing subtle sky integration

• Applying tracking data to mask polygons for movement-synced refinement

Assets Used:
