Render out the TimeRange 2-5 of our KeyMix to a place of your choice. Do not care about the picture
content at this time, we are only creating FileIn-dummies. Start at frame 2! Frame 1 will be black
because at frame 1 we are comparing frame 1 with frame 0. And 4 dummy-frames (2-5) are more than
enough to tell Shake that this is a sequence.



Import your just rendered cleanplate-sequence and connect it to the TimeX-node, replacing the
LiveActionDude2. Adjust the Source-Parameters so that firstFrame is not 2 but 1 and lastFrame
is not 5 but 100. You just told Shake that there is a sequence with 100 frames. Yes, you lied...
Now go back to our FileOut-node and render again, this time the TimeRange 3-100. Sit back and
watch the beauty in your RenderFlipbook. The green-screen should �eat� our dude away.

The last frame rendered is your cleanplate you can work with! You can delete frame 1-99 if you want.

And try it with a "real world" shot. It is more impressive.

Remember:
- The dude must be moving to reveal as much as possible of the background.
- Works best with locked-off shots.
- If you have ghost-edges remaining after the process try to improve the key,
DelateErode it, play around.
- The TimeX-function, the shifting of the clip is essential.
- The first rendered frame must not be black.
- Shake users don�t fear anything, but do not lie.
