Body: <p>I have two videos - both are on a tripod, so they are locked in place. First video has an <strong>empty background</strong> (no people or objects), the second video has a <strong>person walking</strong> through the scene.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a technique that allows me to combine the two images - have the empty background remove the background from the person walking through it - and <strong>only keep the person with a transparent background</strong>?</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2013-12-07)
  
  I have two videos - both are on a tripod, so they are locked in place. First video has an **empty background** (no people or objects), the second video has a **person walking** through the scene.
  
  Is there a technique that allows me to combine the two images - have the empty background remove the background from the person walking through it - and **only keep the person with a transparent background**?

  I believe the effect you're after is `Difference Matte`. Keep in mind your clean plate needs to be **exactly** the same, pixel for pixel, as in your shots. You'll likely need to do some manual clean up as well.
