Vegas Studio green-screen tutorial

I know a lot of you have been doing green-screen effects for years, and are pretty much pros at it. For me, for some reason, it was just something I never did, I think I had a mental hurdle to get over that it was something I could actually do.

From reading this forum and a few other tips I have managed to do green-screen on a budget.

Here's the link below from my personal website for a Vegas Studio green-screen tutorial.

Sony Vegas Studio Green Screen Tutorial

High-res green-screen format (50MB)

Maybe there are others like me who never got around to messing with it, but now that I can do green screen, it opens all kinds of possibilities.

I know the video isn't perfect, and I may clean it up a bit later, but if you don't know how to do green-screen yet, this hopefully will help.

I posted this message in the regular Vegas forum too, because some of those guys had given me good tips too, I hope it's OK to post in both forums? I just wanted both crowds to see it, and this works with both Vegas and Studio.

Edit: Added the high-res format

Kevin,

Thanks for the step-by-step tutorial. Before, I'd only played around a little bit with the chroma-key feature, but never took the time to read up on how to use it, and how to use the Low Threshold and High Threshold sliders. Your example, with turning on the Mask Only view, made it pretty easy.

(By the way, your daughter's very cute. But you already knew that.)
