Customer Question

Hi Russell,
I have a digital video camera and I want to take a video and change the background in it. I have used "green screen" for still work but don't know if the same thing can be done with video. Question 1, can "green screen" be done with video? Question 2, what software do I need to get?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi,

Yes, the same thing can be done with video, still generally called, Chroma Key, (the same color replacement technology as with stills). I do not have a preference in software for this function and it will depend on your operating system and the software that you are already using. You may only need a Plug-in. The link below has great demo videos that should help you figure out what you need
