Chapter 6: Two-track editing with Studio Plus 129
Blue and green are the generally-preferred colors for
chroma key use because their removal from an image
will not affect human skin tones, but in principle any
hue can be used with Studio’s chroma key tool.
Creating a scene with chroma key: A clip on the
video track (L) is chosen as the background for a
green-screen clip on the overlay track (C). Chroma
keying removes the green to complete the scene (R).
As with picture-in-picture, the first step in using
chroma key is to drag some video clips onto the
Timeline. Drop the clips you want for background
video onto the video track. The foreground clip, which
should have a uniform, highly-saturated background
like the center clip in the illustration above, goes on the
overlay track below the main clip.
With the clips in place, select the foreground
clip and open the Picture-in-picture and
Chroma key (PIP/CK) tool. It is the sixth tool in the
Movie Window’s video toolbox. Select the Chroma key
tab to display the controls you will need.
