Wax tutorial Chroma-Key and Snow effects!

In this Instructable you will learn how to use a free video editing program called Wax 2.0

To import the files right-click inside the grey box on the left of the timeline controls, and click add media to project. Once your media is in the project drag all the files to the timeline.
Make sure to only import image avi and wav files.

Step 1 Chroma-Keying or "Greenscreening"

To take objects of certain colors and cut them out is known as Chroma-Keying or "Greenscreening".

Click on the Video Plugins Tab on the bar near your media library, then click Chromakey, and drag it onto your movieclip (A movieclip can be identified by a gray bar on the time line).
Then expand the ChromaKay drop menu and change the color to what you wish, also this will not work without sliding the tolerance bar to the right setting for you.
Note lighting is very important and will decide whether or not your ChromaKey works.

is it possible to add multiple chroma keys? i've only been able to get one key filter to work at a time which makes it difficult to key out the green screen when i can't get the lighting right

What i would do is what you are doing then savethe video and import it into another project.

I've just started on wax, it's a great program, the snow is more interesting to me because I've been playing with particle effects a bit, it's actually a brilliant little editor...

I agree but i thought it would be good since the problem with http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-add-Chroma-key-green-screen-effects-to-a-/ was that it didnot show everystep which confused many people

[lemonie]

Have you got any images that show the chromakey, or a finished video? L

[acksheep13]

I will add that immediately thank you.

Video isn't always easy, but I think it would complete this rather nicely. L
