As our name says, this site is all about Chroma Key;
"The process of overlaying one video signal over another, the
areas of overlay being defined by a specific range of colour, or chrominance,
on the background signal" (Quantel
Digital Factbook).
Final Cut Pro is hands down the most common chroma keying application
on the mac, and while Shake might be a better tool to do it in, many
more people experience the joys and difficulties of chroma key with
their Final Cut Pro. If there is any additional information missing
from these pages that you think is relevant, please feel free to send
an email to info@chromakey.tv.

Final Cut Pro has a built in chroma key and matte tool
that can be used to make a virtual set, a multilayered composite of
a background, a chroma keyed layer with talent in it, and potentially
a foreground layer for things like desks. Final Cut Pro can import
footage from various sources and chroma key it over an animated video
background or virtual
sets. This gives you a powerful way to composite images right
within Final Cut Pro.

A Virtual Set uses green screen keying to create a
set or stage that isn't real, and in some cases could not be. Virtual
Sets are ideal for situations where a real set is too expensive because
of either space, location, or materials cost. Building a football
stadium would be very expensive. Building a football stadium made
of gold on the moon would be impossible, but not with a virtual set.
A small stage covered with green screen, Final Cut Pro, and adequate
lighting is all that's needed to put your talent anywhere your imagination
wants to put them. |
