Chromakey

Chromakey removes a colored background during capture — green, blue, or whichever color you pick — and replaces it with a different background. It’s one of the extra processing options in the Photo menu header, and the same settings apply to video (with one exception, below).

Note

This is the capture-time chromakey. It’s different from the cloud Ai Chromakey (RMBG) that runs as an AI template mode — see Photo AI modes.

Enable and pick a mode

Press Enable, then choose the mode:

• Real chromakey — classic color keying.
• AI chromakey — runs locally, in roughly real time; how smooth it is depends on your PC’s power.

Real chromakey

Tools available:

• Color — pick the color to key out.
• Crop — trim excess that sticks out past the backdrop; the cropped area is filled with the background.
• Position — move the cropped image on the frame and fit it to the background.
• Preview.
• Design — load a separate overlay (on top) and background.

Fine adjustments:

• Color match / similarity — how closely a pixel must match the picked color to be keyed (a math threshold).
• Edge blur — soften the edges.

Preview source: to set it up more easily, use the camera (live from your connected camera), load a file (a photo, or a video for video chromakey), or take a photo (when editing photo chromakey), then tune against it.

AI chromakey

Much simpler, with fewer settings: crop, position, and preview. There’s no color selection — the AI segments people from the background itself. Its only extra control is edge blur.

You can also add a design (overlay + background).

Tip

If you add no background, the photo is simply transparent — but your photo template still has a background, so you can let the template’s background show through as the chromakey background. A handy shortcut.

Video

The settings are the same for video, with one exception: AI chromakey is not available for video. Real chromakey works the same way — it just keys the video rather than a photo.
