It worked like a charm! You are the best Douglas Spotted Eagle. Thank you so very much. Now, I can continue to shoot the interviews without having to adjust the lighting and gels and everything each time. Sincerely, Holly O’Neil

Well, we had success this way. Open the video from the chroma keyer movie icon on the video. It is the little icon on the bottom right. It opens up all kinds of options. It’s the Video Event FX button. Then select the Chroma Keyer option. Then use the eydropper tool to take away green (or whatever color) background. You can even do this on the preview screen. Then to adjust the thresholds appropriately go ahead and place some video underneath the chroma key video to move thresholds till you get the best look. Then go ahead and delete that video. Then render as: Video for Windows AVI, use default template- uncompressed, then choose custom setting and then choose video rendering quallity best, then select the Video settings button and set at 720×480, field order none (progressive scan) and make sure render alpha channel (uncompressed window formats only) and create an OpenDML are checked. Then render. Voila! Thanks Douglas Spotted Eagle, Holly O’Neil

We have figured out how to render a transparent background using the chroma keyer! Thanks so much for your help! It was awesome! Holly

[Holly O’neil]

Thanks so much. The color picker (eyedropper?) did take out the green. I rendered as uncompressed AVI. Where is the transparency enabler? In Flash? If so, where in Flash? Our Flash person doesn’t know.

Can’t thank you enough. Holly

Hello Borba Fett,

I am in search of the same thing you were about creating a transparent background “on” my chroma key green screen in Vegas. We want to also import it into flash. I see the answer you got but it didn’t work for us. Do you have any further insight?

The part selecting “render Alpha Channel” was greyed out and already checked it appeared. That was the only part of the directions we weren’t able to influence.

Any suggestions? Thank you so very much, in advance, Holly
