Some time ago, someone asked me to show them how I managed to achieve a green screen without actually shooting a green screen!
It's taking me a while to get around to it so here is my contribution to making a green screen FX in ColorDirector 6, then using PowerDirector 16 to put it all together.
For my first video, I used PowerDirector 11 and ColorDirector 3 ( I think ! ) The latest versions of PowerDirector & ColorDirector are so much faster and easier to use. I dillied and dallied about upgrading and I'm now glad I took the plunge

Appologies for the spelling mistakes

Video is Mute, you'll have to make your own der, der der, der, ded der sound. Can you do a Light Saber?

I have already pointed out that I did not shoot the video, they are a FREE downloaded them from the Hit Film website, links included in the video.

hope it helps you.
Happy Editing
Cheers
Dave F.

Too bad the video is so small. I can't read what is going on. .

Hi Myk, thanks for your comments. If you open it up in YouTube, you do get a better look at it

Thank you Kyle,

Perhaps other members will be able to put your green screen "trick" into action.

An impressive forum contribution.

Many thanks PIX

I've carried out a quick tweak, zooming in on some settings, plus adding a bit of sound plus an extra guest !
SFX was created by using a factory ambiance fx edited in AudioDirector and adding a Factory FX #2 . The SFX was looped after picking the most interesting sound.
Links to droid FX are included with the video.

I'm sure I can hear Tie Fighters going past, what do think?

cheers
