Using chroma key in Kinemaster Pro for virtual reality and 360-degree video

By / March 9, 2024

Chroma key compositing can also be used in virtual reality and 360-degree video production to create immersive experiences. Here are some tips for using chroma key in Kinemaster Pro for virtual reality and 360-degree video:

  1. Use a Spherical Camera: To shoot 360-degree video, you’ll need a spherical camera that can capture a full 360-degree field of view. Make sure that the green screen or blue screen fills the entire view of the camera and that the edges are not visible.
  2. Use a High-Resolution Camera: Virtual reality and 360-degree video require a high resolution to maintain quality and sharpness when viewed on a VR headset.
  3. Use a High-Quality Green Screen: For optimal results, use a high-quality green screen with a smooth, wrinkle-free surface.
  4. Adjust Color Range Keying: Adjust the color range keying to accurately key out the green screen in your footage and fine-tune the edges.
  5. Use Motion Tracking: If your subject is moving in the frame, use the motion tracking feature in Kinemaster Pro to track the movement of the subject and apply the chroma key effect.
  6. Use Spill Suppression: Remove any remaining green color around the edges of the keyed object by using spill suppression tools.
  7. Match the Color: Match the color of the foreground and background to make the composite look more natural and realistic.
  8. Preview in VR: Preview your composite in VR to ensure it looks correct from all angles, and make any necessary adjustments.
  9. Export and Share: Once you are satisfied with your composite, export and share your 360-degree video and enjoy the immersive experience with a VR headset.

Keep in mind that Chroma keying for 360-degree video can be more challenging, because of the additional constraints. You’ll need to take care to have a perfect chroma key setup, and also, to have a consistent lighting and background in your footage to avoid visible edges or inconsistencies in your final result. Additionally, previewing your composition on a VR headset is crucial to ensure that your chroma key is working correctly from all angles.
