OK, I am ready to use my chroma key in Vegas (5.0b). I am going to test it out and would like any cool, crazy, serious, or funny suggestions you all may have regarding what the subject(s) and background(s) are doing or showing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Stonefield,

Any tutorials on how i could make that FIre transition? Or even maybe a blasting one?

Love the motion effects by the way as well as the play of lights and rays!

Cheers,Ü

Taking you at your word... fun tricks to do with green screen.

Wide shot: Get your best friend to walk by an empty parking space with two other cars in place... one in front... one in back (of the empty space).
Your friend looks up in horror and then tracks something crashing into the empty space.
GREENSCREEN: Drop a realistic model car onto the paper - key it into the empty space - dopey, right??? but very cute - it was my first experiment with keying, a long time ago, and I still laugh at how stupid it looks... but it never fails to get a response ... "Hey how did you get that car to drop?"

Hi Ana...

What fire transitions are you referring to ? Give me the name of the video and the time count at the point you're talking about and I'd be glad to share with ya.
