Moreover, you’ll notice that many Chroma Key parameters provide you with the option to set the Initial value and the Final value as well. Keep in mind that 100% means full transparency and 0% means non-transparency.įor example, this is what the Chroma Key effect will look like if you set its Initial value at 100%, and the Final value at 10%: To set the gradual change of the transparency level, you’ll be using the Initial value and the Final value. This means you can either set a constant transparency value for the Chroma Key effect or you can have it gradually increase/decrease over time.

The Properties window contains three groups of settings:Ĭommon settings allow you to add a title to the effect layer, change the moment when the effect appears in the video (by seconds or by frames), and the duration of the effect (in seconds or in frames).Īdjustment effect settings allow you to set the transparency level for the beginning and the end of the effect. If you can’t find the Properties window, right-click on the effect layer and select Properties from the context menu. The Properties window will slide-in from the right side – that’s where Chroma Key settings are located. Notice that once you apply the effect, you’ll be taken to a different tab on the timeline where the effect layer is located. By default, the effect is applied from the cursor position to the remaining part of the file if you’d like to change that – select the desired option and click OK. The Object’s position settings window will pop up to indicate the point at which the Chroma Key effect should be applied to the footage. To get started, import your footage to VSDC, then open the Video effects menu and select Transparency - Background remover.

If you haven’t downloaded VSDC 6.6 yet, you can do it here.

Next, you can read the instructions covering the rest of the background removal properties. We suggest starting with this video tutorial about the HSL color space – the most exciting new feature in the Chroma Key toolset. The precision of chroma keying and the quality of the result is just outstanding, so even if you weren’t keen on removing backgrounds before, you probably will be after seeing how it works. We can’t be happier with the way it came out, and we’re sure you’ll love it too. The new version of VSDC brings quite a few surprises, the updated Chroma Key toolset being one of them.
