If you or your students need to get the image off the web, make sure that they choose a “large size” image so that it doesn’t appear pixilated in the video. (This is probably also a good time to talk to your students about Creative Commons.) • freestockfootage.com • Create your own stock footage / photo library nheschuk@bpsd.mb.ca

  14. The Chroma Key Controls • Go through the controls pretty much in the order they appear. • Start by selecting the colour with the eyedropper. Then move the colour tolerance up until most of your background vanishes. • Next, use the saturation minimum control to tidy up the key - so that everything in the background is removed. • Use the softness control to adjust the strength of the background image . • The transparency slider fades out your foreground image. • Spill Suppression control acts on the edges of your objects, removing any green fringes or hues that can appear on complicated edges or semi-transparent objects. nheschuk@bpsd.mb.ca
