Chroma Key + Layouter

[Marc44]

I shoot a speaker on green screen to put the result on a choir (speaker on left frame).
No problem with Chroma key in Edius.
Now, I have to place the speaker on the right.
Then I use the layouter to place her on the right.
But, a black shape appears on the left (= no video).
I try different ways to delete this shape without effect.

Use Enable rectangle in the Chromakey.

OK, thanks, I found it , here : Chroma-key and alpha matte

It's the solution
(rectangle in CK doesn't do the job).

Here is a very recent thread about the same thing:

And the rectangle Will do the job!

[antonsvideo]

yes, first move the clip, then perform chroma key and enable rectangle

do not do chroma key first and then layouter

no need for this awkward workaround at all, see my other answer

OK , with this worflow , the effect is more simple than alpha matte and the result is fine.
And the rectangle does the job, really :-)
Thanks to all.
(in this chroma key example, Robuskey is not so good than Edius).

Robuskey is 10x better in every way, it is a filter

so you can apply the key and then move it around with the layouter, just make sure you drag the layouter below Robuskey in the info palette

There is no way that the Edius chromakeyer is better, at anything, than Robuskey.
