Chroma Key Improvement

Asked by Victor Ramos

Hi, I have a news website, i use openshot to edit interviews, recently i think about adding news-shows in 3 mintues video, when i try to use chroma key effect i have a kind of green light around me, i think its spill from the chroma background lights, i did the edition with other software (windows software) and keyed perfectly, i want to use only openshot for all my video editing needs, so i found the other software have spill supression and chroma blur addition to chroma key effect, that way i can vanish the green light around me and the result is great.

when i was thinking about asking you to improve you chroma key effect i tought this is a free software and if i need something more, i have to pay, that will be fair, but i dont have enough money to pay for my improvement, so this idea comes to my mind, why dont you make a paid wishlist section, and if somebody needs something can put money in that section, that way if theres lets say 10 people who wants this improvement and every one of us put 50 dollars on the improvement you will have 500 dollars, the more people needs the improvement, the fastest and more money you get, i am aware of the situation that you are making these great software for free, but if we can help a little with this idea, i think openshot can grow faster.

If this idea comes up count me in with my 50 bucks

Thanks

Victor

Thanks for the suggestions. Have you tried adjusting the settings of the
chroma effect? Right click on your clip and choose properties. Then switch
to the effects tab. Click on the Chroma key effect, and adjust the
threshold. You should be able to remove the green outlines. Also, if you
have 2 or more colors that need to be keyed out, you can add as many chroma
key effects as you need (just stack them up). Good luck!

Yes i tried that, actually i put three chroma key effects, and the line stills there, very very thin but its there, and it appears and dissapears, that why i tought that the blur and transparency effect on the edges will help.
Thanks a lot, is there any improvements to the zoom error on maverick?
Greetings and great job i like a lot Openshot, did not like my idea of paid wishlist?
Have a great day

I Hope this idea can help openshot and many other great opensource software developers, i know that 50 dollars or a 100 is not big money, but is all i can afford, but if all of us using openshot do the same, with every software that is making our lives easier, the developers will feel more valued, and with all the money, they can make a party or travel togheter i dont know but i encourage all the users to support this software and others they are using that will make opensource better, if you make the wishlist i repeat count me in, or better, make the first one for chroma key improvement and i promise i will put the first money in :)

Can you help with this problem?
