Compositing Tutorial for Pinnacle

PLEASE READ:

This tutorial tells you how to do Chroma and Luma keying
for green, black and white backgrounds.

Yes, all three are in this, just watch it through all the way. Chroma takes out a colour (green or blue) and luma takes out white or black.

All the explosions are from www.detonationfilms.com and i would highly recommend you go and look at that website.

Feel free to comment with any questions.

Hi, i have recently downloaded some explosion effects from detfilms and i cant get the video clips to open with pinnacle. when in my documents it shows it as being a quicktime video. do i need to convert it to something else for pinnacle to open it? thanks

[applefilms]

yes, you need to convert the file to avi. Watch the video to find out how.

Nice tutorial- thanks! Combined with my RTFM principle, which I recommend some other commenters adopt, you have helped to fill in some gaps.

I've never used pinnacle, but I'm just wondering -- can you chroma key other colors besides green/blue?

[TalentZuK]

with pinnacle studio 10 (non plus) how do you add slow motion effects?
