ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CHROMA KEY INSTRUCTIONS 1.

Select "File", then "Import" from the menu to import the template you want keyed into Adobe Premiere CS3. 2. Import the video or image that will replace the key background using the same procedure in the last step. 3. Place the video clip or image that will serve as the new image into the Video 1 track on the "Timeline Sequence" tab. 4. Place the template with the green box in the Video 2 track of the timeline sequence. 5. Select the "Effects" tab next to the project tab where your imported video clips are located. Click on the arrow next to the "Video Effects" folder to expand your folder selection. Likewise click the arrow next to the "keying" folder and drag the "chroma key" effect onto the video clip containing the key backdrop on the Timeline sequence. 6. Using the "effects control" tab in the center of the premiere CS3 desktop, expand the Chroma Key effect controls by clicking on the arrow next to the effect. 7. From the Chroma Key controls, select the eyedropper icon and place the icon over the color box as viewed in the sequence monitor window in the upper right side of the Premiere desktop. 8. Expand the controls for "Similarity" found beneath the "color" eyedropper control icon used in the previous step. Adjust the slider toward the right until the backdrop color is replaced by the video you placed on the Video 1 track. 9. Use the additional "blend," "threshold" and "cutoff" controls to finetune the key effect, removing the trace artifacts of the original green box from the edges of the template.
