Chroma Key
Removes one color, such as a green screen.
Chroma Key makes one color transparent, for example a green screen. Pick the color with Key Color (green by default). Tolerance is how wide a range of colors around it is removed, and Softness is how soft the edge of the cut-out is.
- Put the keyed clip above the background you want to show.
- Add Chroma Key and set Key Color to the color of the screen.
- Raise Tolerance until the screen has gone. If parts of the person start to disappear, lower it again.
- Clean the edge with Softness, Feather or Matte Choker.
Light the screen evenly when you film: a flat, well-lit color gives the cleanest result.
