This powerful tool allows you to work with chroma key effects. If you take a movie of a subject over a solid color background, you can super-impose that video on a different background. This effect is often used with a green or blue screen to help assure the success of the effect. The closer to uniform the background is, the easier the effect will be to achieve.

Video Detailer allows you to select any color to use the tool. While it is most often used with superimposition of video, it can also be used with still pictures or other image objects.

Using the Remove Color tool:

1. Take a video over a solid color background that you intend to superimpose on a different background.

2. Import the video and the background into Video Detailer.

3. Be sure the imported video is stacked above the background in the timeline.

4. Be sure the timeline indicator is over the video object .

5. Activate the video object by clicking on it in the timeline.

6. Click the FXs menu in the object control panel.

7. Toggle the Remove Color item to on. The pop-up menu button will become available.

8. Click the pop-up menu button to the left of Remove Color [ ]. This will open the Remove Color pop-up control panel.

   

9. Click the Color Picker menu [ ]. This will open a color palette.

   

10. Click on the eye-dropper tool [ ].

11. Select the background color by clicking directly on the background color that you want to eliminate. The preview should immediately show masking off the color that you selected.

12. Use the Tolerance slider to adjust the effect.
