VS9 overlay & chroma key & filter

Anyway to control the effect sequene of the above? Chroma key alone for overlay is ok. If filter is added, the chroma key effect is messed up. I can see the overlay with square background that is also touched by the filter.

Any comments are welcomed.

Hi ulhk, welcome to the boards,

AFIAK there is no way to do that in VS9. You would have to render the clip with the Chroma-key and then reload it and apply the filter (or vice-versa). This is probably something the high-end editors can achieve.

and: be careful to render the first time in AVI-DV, to avoid double MPEG encoding.
Or just save the overlaid part as a small VSP project and include that in your main timeline, via add video, then add the effect. You can repeat as you wish.
Very powerful and the rendering is then done once for all.
