Object Effect

Global Effect

A chromakey removes a color (or small color range) from one graphic image to reveal another “behind” it. The removed color becomes transparent. The modifier parameters define the color you want to select as the chromakey in terms of Red, Green and Blue values. The Inverse Chromakey Coarse parameter selects a color range either side of the defined value and then sets every other color as chromakeyed.

Chromakey Coarse, Inverse

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 31

The Inverse Chromakey Coarse parameter selects a color range ±40% either side of the defined value and then sets every other color as chromakeyed.

Chromakey Fine, Inverse

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 29

The Inverse Chromakey Fine parameter selects a color range ±15% either side of the defined value and then sets every other color as a chromakey.

Chromakey Medium, Inverse

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 30

The Inverse Chromakey Medium parameter selects a color range ±25% either side of the defined value and then sets every other color as chromakeyed.

Modifier Parameters

Modifier 1: Defines the red color component from 0 = no red to 255 (100%) = maximum red saturation.

Modifier 2: Defines the green color component from 0 = no green to 255 (100%) = maximum green saturation.

Modifier 3: Defines the blue color component from 0 = no blue to 255 (100%) = maximum blue saturation.
