Green screen video editing software Review



Green screen video editing software refers to the computer program or tool that edits the videos and photographs by adding visual effects. This program replaces the background image of the subject in the photograph by any other selected image. The tool raises the bar in the chroma key program that blends or merges two images together. During the process of merging the color is removed from previous image to reveal another image behind it. This process gives an effect of a single photograph.

Uses of the tool:

There are numerous uses of this computer program. This tool can be used when one has to present film or video on any subject. A user can prepare video presentation on any subject. You can also create emphatic and meaningful images for corporate presentations. One can also prepare video films for business presentation. The tool is instrumental in adding visual effects to the films and photographs. You can also use these images and video films for personal purpose. One can capture memorable moments with friends, family and co-workers in photographs and films. This tool is useful for the professional photographers for photo shoots or movies. Television channels often use this technique during news reporting.

Review of the tool:

Green screen video editing software is the computer program that equips the user to create several photographs. There are many types of tools available that can make the task of the photographer easier and smoother. The basic function of these tools is to replace the background image of the subject by any other selected image. Many tools provide the pre-made images for the user to select and replace. Advanced tools equip the user with an ability to upload his personal images and use them as background image. Other tools provide with transitions and effects. Modified tools equip the user to customize the transitions and effects of the images and films. You can save the final output in portable formats like Moving Picture Experts Group format or Windows Media Video and much more. Some tools enable the user to personalize the animations and use graphics to make the video clip magnetic and attractive. Good tools are easy to use and operate quickly.

Video Editing Software: Camtasia Studio



Camtasia Studio is one of the most popularly recommended video editing software programs. For what it is, Camtasia is a great program BUT (and this is a very BIG BUT) it is absolutely NOT the right software for most video editing projects.

To hear some people recommend it though, you sure would get the impression that it is the be-all and end-all for video editing.

It’s NOT.

A question from a reader the other day really drove this home. He is in the cooking niche and he wanted to produce a cooking show, kind of like Emeril. He bought a bunch of video equipment, including Camtasia for editing. Problem is, for him, Camtasia is essentially worthless.

Why?

Camtasia is designed to make screen capture videos. This means that the main function of the software is the ability to record whatever is on your computer screen. Let’s say you want to make a video tutorial about how to use a computer application. Camtasia will allow you to record screen shots of the application when it is open on your computer. You can demonstrate how the software works using these screen shots. You can add audio, transitions and titles.

Camtasia is also good for making videos out of Power Point slides.

But my friend who wanted to edit his cooking show was out of luck because Camtasia is NOT designed to edit an entire show out of nothing but video you shoot with a regular video camcorder.

You can add a little bit of camera video to a Camtasia production, but it is recommended that you use that video as a small inset, a picture-in-picture (PIP) display. In this way, the camera video is designed to be an adjunct to the screen capture video. The screen capture video (or power point video) makes up the bulk of your show.

If you want to make a show out of video you shoot with a standard video camcorder, then you need a standard video editing program, like Windows Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier or Final Cut, to name just a few.

Those video editing programs are for editing camera video. Unlike comtasia, they can not record a screen capture shot. So if you wanted to show your computer screen in a video you are editing with Windows Movie Maker, you would either have to use a jpeg or you would need to videotape your computer screen using a video camera and then capture that video into Movie Maker in the same way you captured your vacation video. I do that all the time because I haven’t wanted to spend $300 for Camtasia.

Whether Camtasia is right for you depends entirely on what kind of video you want to make.

Is your video going to be full of computer screen shots or is it going to be full of video you took at the beach?

Camtasia is good software, please do not get me wrong. For what it does, Camtasia is probably the best program out there. BUT, if you want to edit videos that consist primarily of video you take with your camcorder, i.e. live action video, then you need software other than Camtasia.

I felt real sorry for my friend the chef who completely misunderstood this vital distinction before he bought his video editing software. $300 is a lot to waste when Windows Movie Maker would have been a better choice for him and it is free.
