Overview

The HSV Keyer turns any colour you choose transparent, so whatever is behind the layer shows through. That is how a presenter in front of a coloured screen can be placed anywhere. In this video we use a green screen, and key a roulette dealer into a new background. We pick the key colour, check the result, and clean the green off her hair. Then a garbage matte fixes what colour alone cannot, a light stand at the edge of the frame and a glossy wheel that reflects the green screen.
