Blue Screen

I want to use the blue screen but have a question on if this is possible and if so how to do it.

I want to run a video of a up close shot of a male. I want the frame shot to appear to fall to a new background and shatter in a real frame.

If I put a blue screen in a real picture frame, hold in steady on the video camera and drop it, will the blue screen appear to have the video of the male shot.

Its short of like the Printer commercial where they put the photo in front of different things and the picture seems to take a snap shot and they put it down.

It's kind of hard to explain.

Thanks for any help

No! The blue screen is transparent, so you only see the corresponding area of the track you're overlaying. To get one video inside another you need to use picture in picture, but I'm not sure if you can move it.

I was wondering about the blue/green screen function in screenblast 3.0 and wanted to know how exactly it worked if anyone has really used it.

This guy Izzy has a bunch of video tutorials, really good stuff. He covers everything from sound, lighting, effects, etc.

One of his videos is a tutorial on how to video the green screen effect. He doesn't cover Vegas Studio in particular, but the tips he gives you is what you'd need to do anyway before you even think about doing anything in Vegas.

Check him out, I downloaded and watched all his tutorials several times. And yes, they're all free.

Edit: I forgot to give you the link:
