What is Chroma Key?
The Chroma key is also known as the Green or Blue Screen. The Chroma key technique is mostly used when we need to add any CGI or visual effects to our project. This is the process of recording any object or actor in front of a monochrome color and then replacing the color with anything.
After shooting with the green screen you can easily change the background with any live footage or scenery background. Most video production companies use Chroma key to add special effects or realistic backgrounds to their videos.
The best example of a green screen is Hollywood movies as they use a chroma key in every movie. Now Android apps also introduce Chroma key in their software for making video editing more interesting and easy.
What is different between Blue and Green Screen?
The blue screen was used first in chroma key composition. After the development of CGI, the use of the green screen began, as the green color was more prominent and easier than the blue color.
Digital cameras also recorded the green better than the Blue and Red Colors. The better the camera records the color, the more good chroma composition will be. Even today, some companies use the Blue Screen, but most companies choose the green screen to get the best results.
Green screen compositions occasionally do not work properly on fine things and the green screen cannot be used at night. The Blue Screen composition requires a lot of light, and it is especially problematic when the color of a character is also blue and the background color is blue.
