What is chroma keying?

In layman terms, it is the use of a green screen so that you can insert a different background. This is done during editing in Camtasia Studio.

Are there special requirements for chroma keying?

Before recording:

  • Do not wear green to the recording.

  • Ensure your hair is neat and tidy. If you have long hair, make sure it is tied up neatly. This will allow for clean separation between you and the green background.

I want to insert slides/videos in the background or interact with the background. Can I use the recording room green screen for this purpose?

The room is set up for simple chroma keying - using still images as a background, where placement is not vital. This is because the chroma keying is done during editing, not live.

If you want to use slides with text/animation or videos in the background, or you want to interact with the background, you should contact CTLT to arrange for a proper studio shoot.
