Click Overlay to the right and return to Control tab. At the bottom of the controls list, click the ‘+’
next to Chroma / Lumakeying to reveal its options. Select the color of the green screen by right
clicking in the Key Color selector, and, holding the right-mouse down, drag the eyedropper to the
Project monitor. Click to enable Chromakey (the middle button of three above the color well),
making this color transparent. On playback, you now have the foreground of the greenscreen
video layered on top of your base clip.
Another place rich for exploration is Tool Shed, automating many routines used in day-to-day
editing. We’ll postpone that discussion until a bit later, though.
5.5 EDIT TEXT
The Edit Text panel provides you with
professional character generation tools. You
can use it to design and manage great
looking still and animated text and graphics
for your productions (whether for Live or
Edit Media projects.)
For live production purposes, Edit Text panel
creations can be utilized as Overlays,
supplied by the DDRs, or as custom
templates for the Text module.
Alternatively, you can even create a custom
LiveSet for use in Input Setup. And of course,
exported title/cg pages can be used as graphic
elements in Edit Media projects too.
The sheer depth of the Edit Text panel disqualifies it for coverage here in the Quick Start chapter,
but if you have some previous familiarity with graphics applications you’ll find its intuitive nature
allows you to jump right in. Please refer to Chapter 9, Edit Text, which provides much more
detailed information.
