It&#8217;s also called a chroma-key. Keying means making some part of video transparent, and chroma means &#8220;colour&#8221;. So, you&#8217;re making parts of the video transparent based on colour, in this case, green. Then, you put other film behind your footage, and the transparent parts show that in the background.<\/p>\n<h2>Lighting Nightmares<\/h2>\n<p>In order to key out the screen, we need a nice even green.
