Using chroma key in Kinemaster Pro is a powerful way to composite still images and graphics into a video. Chroma keying is a technique for compositing two video layers together by removing a specific color (known as the “key” color) from one layer, making that layer’s pixels transparent. This allows the underlying layer to show through.
By using chroma key to composite still images and graphics into a video, you can add a wide range of visual elements to your project, such as background imagery, overlaid text and logos, and special effects. The following is a step-by-step guide on how to use chroma key in Kinemaster Pro to composite still images and graphics into a video:
- Open Kinemaster Pro and start a new project.
- Add the video that will be used as the background layer by tapping on the “+” button in the Media tab and selecting the appropriate file.
- Add the still image or graphic that will be used as the foreground layer by tapping on the “+” button again and selecting the appropriate file.
- Tap on the foreground layer to select it, and then tap on the Chroma key button located in the lower right corner of the screen. This will open the Chroma key options, which allows you to adjust the color threshold, edge thickness, and other parameters to fine-tune the chroma key effect.
- Use your finger to select the color that you want to remove from the foreground layer, usually it’s a solid color background, such as green or blue, which is commonly used in chroma keying.
- Adjust the color threshold, edge thickness, and other parameters as needed to fine-tune the chroma key effect. For example, you may need to adjust the color threshold to ensure that all of the pixels in the background color are removed, while also ensuring that no pixels from the foreground are removed.
- Once you’re happy with the composite, tap on the Save button in the upper right corner of the screen to export your video with the composited image or graphic.
It is worth mentioning that having good lighting condition, a good contrast between the background and foreground and a good composition for the compositing footage will lead to better results, also you can use the other tools like mask, rotoscope, and color correction to enhance the final output of your composite.
Using chroma key in Kinemaster Pro to composite still images and graphics into a video is a powerful way to add visual interest and depth to your projects. With some practice and experimentation, you can master this technique and take your video editing skills to the next level. Whether you’re working on a commercial, a music video, or a personal project, chroma keying is a versatile technique that can help you create professional-looking videos that stand out.
