Removing blue screen

[Steve Rhoden]

Robbin,

To explain it as simple and basic as possible….
Place the video with the animation with the blue screen on the first timeline and the video with your son on the second timeline below it…..
Then in videofx choose the ‘chroma key’ filter and drag the preset
named ‘pure blue screen’ on the video with the animation with the blue screen.
You should immediately see something happening…from there now, just
toggle the sliders until things look how you want it to. (just hoping iam reading your description correctly).

However for a more professional and believable look it involves more
adjustments and the use of more filters including “chroma blur”.
So what i have instructed above is the basic to get you started and
you start experimenting from there.

Thanks! We’ll try it this morning and see what we come up with. He’s only 12 so some of this is a little over his head but he’s figuring most of it out on his own. Having the ability for him to get all these ideas out of his head and onto the screen is awesome!

He’s only 12

Yeah, i figured he was young from your post…that’s why i stated
it as simple as possible….Again:

1…Animation with the blue screen on top.

2…video with him below.

3…Then in videofx choose ‘chroma key’, then drag the box named
‘pure blue screen’ on drop it on the animation with the blue
screen.

4….When a window opens up, move the sliders until the video
looks real as if they are together.
