&quot;Blue-Screen&quot; Can't Post

I have both a Kron and an Avio and I would like to do a "blue-screen" effect with either machine. The backdrop of my studio is painted solid blue. Is there any way that I can filter out the blue in the backdrop and replace it with an image/video/etc.? Thanks in advance for your help.

You can use Blue Box which will be found in the transition screen, you will need to play around with it for a while(lights etc) to get a feel for it.

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.
I found the Blue Box transition on my machine, but I'm confused about exactly how to go about doing what I'm trying to accomplish and the manual is absolutely no help. Can you tell me what settings I would need to change in order to get my entire blue backdrop to disappear? Also...I need to know how to reinsert/superimpose a different image in its place, but still have people, etc., in the foreground. Thanks again for any help!

Hi Chase,
select the scene you want to run in the background and place on the storyboard then select the scene which you want to key out the background(blue/green screen)and place on the story board, go to transitions screen select Blue Box and insert it selecting the time that the transition(effect) is to last. Then select colour choice and you can size and move the box this chooses the colour to key out so the larger the area you can select the better. You then can preview but need to play around with the settings a bit to get it how you want it. Having good even lighting with no flaring helps to get best results and even a light shining behind the subject in front of the blue screen can help with definition between the subject and the blue screen.
Hope this helps, It does take a bit of trial and error to get the desired effect.

Arny
