Hi,

I've yet to learn the ins and outs of this program but i wanted to check it can do what i need it too before venturing any further.

This is for an installation for my degree show, so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

What i need is to be able to output two seperate videos with a overlay that is coming from a live webcam that is filming off of a chroma key background.

Again any help on whether this is possible and the best tutorials/help documents to be looking at would be much appreciate.

it doesn't matter how good modul8's keyer is, if your chromakey set is lit badly you wont get it to work.

don't just assume you can point what is basically a cheap camera at a blue background and it will work perfectly.
it wont work even with the best equipment if the lighting isn't perfect.
it is possible to do chromakey well, but you really have to learn how to do it properly, or you'll be in a world of pain.

i suggest a trip to youtube and find a good tutorial on keying

maybe here is a good place to start
