Adobe Premier Elements 7Chroma Key Effect

Movie Making Software Tutorial:

Adding Special Effects to your movie!

Chroma Key Effect

• You will learn how to take pictures using a green or blue background

• You will take those pictures, and with Adobe Premier Elements, remove the green or blue and replace it with an image or video of your choice

Take a picture using a background

• Bright green or blue is the best, because it stands out, and makes an easy background to remove

• Do not have the same color in the foreground as in the background, or it too will disappear

• Light the background separately with a lamp

Big Light on the subject

A little light on the background

This is the ideal set up…
