Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default Mask out single color?

Is there a way to mask out a single color in a movie? I have a model on a bright green background. I'd like the model to be my mask without the green, obviously. I want the green to be my alpha color.

I saw in After Effects there was a simple way to do this but haven't been able to figure it out in Vegas.

2 steps easy enough for you?

Step 1: Apply the Chroma Key Fx to the Event.

Step 2: Use the colour picker to select/scrub the background colour GREEN you have.

Sorry, that's about as difficult as it gets.

Grazie

oops, I guess my reply didn't go through. I actually was able to find how to do it in an older thread.

I appreciate the help though! This forum has been invaluable to me

NP chum! Thanks for your politeness in coming back to confirm your success. And guess what - somebody "else" will have read this and would have benefited/gained from it.

So, No Problemo!

Grazie
