Pictures at the Top of the Page
If you don't
understand the explanations of the pictures at the top of the page given below,
you will after a few DVUG meetings. If you do then you can help other
users in the group! The streaming video in the article Intro
to Digital Videoshows the green screen in action.
The picture in the
middle is of a Panasonic Digital Camcorder taken in front of a green
screen. A video background from the Digital Juice collection was
composited with the camcorder and the green screen was keyed out. The Adobe
Premiere timeline on the right was constructed in order to produce a video that
demonstrates how green screen compositing works.
The left picture is
a timeline from a show on Arson Dogs and demonstrates transitions, sound tracks
and the use of multiple video tracks.
