Hi Gurus,

I would like to create some music videos for my grandkids of their grandpa playing music along with himself. I play a multitude of instruments, and what I have in mind is to record myself playing along with myself on multiple sound tracks in my recording studio. Then I would video myself "lip synching" each instrument, so that I am a band, but all the people in the band are me. For example I would be sitting varous places in my family room, but playing a different instrument at each place (to the pre-recorded mutli-track audio).

I would like to be able to do this project without using green-screen, which would be a huge hassle to deal with. I swear I once saw a video on YouTube on how to do this layered videos-on-video without green screening, but I can't find it now.

So here's my question. Is this possible with PD10 (sans green screen)? If so, how is it done. Is there a video somewhere of how to do this, or even a write-up?

Thanks for whatever info you can provide.

Hi PDUser

Welome to the forum

There are several Youtube tutorials on how to do this and many ways it can be done.

The important thing is to use a tri-pod and attempt to control the lighting OR record when the light levels are the same.

Here's one from the Cyberlink Youtube channel. They talk about Masking. It's made using PD7 but the principals are the same for PD10.

Hi PDuser -

Here's one discussion (about the same thing) in the DZ forum which had a happy ending... http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/posts/list/3506.page

Cheers - Tony
