Video Wave and Chroma Key

[SemploryTrevor]

I had Easy Media Creator 8 and liked it well enough, but I wanted to play around with combining video images using the chroma key overlay feature. Looking at some of the discussions I came to the conclusion that the VideoWave component in EMC8 had that feature disabled. Chatting live with a Roxio agent confirmed this, and she assured me that upgrading to EMC9 would solve my problem and that all the features are enabled in its version of VideoWave.

 

Either I'm missing something really obvious, or I was steered wrong. Does anyone know which it is. If it's the former, can you let me know how to use the Chroma key feature?

 

Thanks

I don't have EMC8 installed but let me know if this activates the chroma key.

 

Open Videowave. Add a color panel. Then add a photo/video as an overlay to that color panel. Go to Timeline and double click the photo/video overlay. That should bring up the settings dialog box. Is there a dropddown in the Main tab where you can select Chroma Key?

Chorma Key works exactly as it did in Version 8:

Place stil image or video on MAIN TRACK

Add the image or video to be chroma keyed on the OVERLAY track.

Select the overlay track and VIEW / SETTINGS

 

In the drop down list, choose Chroma Key. If it doesn't automatically select the correct color to be keyed, there is a dropper function.

Be aware some of the text may be scrambled but you should be able to select the first box to get to the dropper function and play around with the other boxes to fine tune. This, I'm sure is a glitch in my version and you may not see it.

Thanks you all for your help. It works like a charm. Now I know how my father feels when he has computer issues with simple solutions.
