How to Chroma Key or Green Screen with Pinnacle Studio

Introduces the concept of chroma keying to the novice video editor using Pinnacle Studio video editing software. A short 3D animation created in 3D Studio Max is composited over a panning video of a local lake. Linked to by my Hubpage on the same subject:

hey i got a bunch of explotion and action effects for $100 and they all have black backgrounds instead of green or blue and using luma keyer doesn't work out well at all for them so how can I make they're backgrounds transparent? please help

@airsoftassassin13 I would suggest batch processing the frames using the wand tool in Photoshop. If you can select just the black background with the wand tool, you can then fill it with green, blue, or whatever. If the black background borders the image you're trying to isolate, where there is black in the image, that area would be selected as well, so it would make it very difficult to do. If there is no black in the image where it borders the background, it should be no problem.

@airsoftassassin13 It's definitely not the easiest workaround.

i want to put a different screen behind my "talking head" in a video in pinnacle studio 14 but i just cannot seem to do it. it only offers blue (a pixely almost black) and green. i want to put a picture in the background while my "talking head" talks. how do i do this?

@97elsak almost everything avi or something else I have kodak zi8 camcorder with mov format videos it works with pinnacle studio
