Chroma Keying Tutorial for VS9/VS10

Is there a Chroma Keying Tutorial for VS9/VS10? I checked the Video Tutorials section, but didn't see one. Unless I scrolled too fast and overlooked it. I would like to understand better what this process does, how to apply it and how to use VS10+ to accomplish the effect. Thanks.

BrianCee,

Thanks. I already read thru that earlier before I posted. I was hoping to find a tutorial to walk you thru the steps. Was actually hoping that Steve J. already had one written, but I guess he hasn't gotten to that one yet. (Hint, hint - I hope he does, as all of his tutorials are fantastic).

Even after reading that post, and especially Steve's brief description of the steps, does chroma keying work most effectively if the image/video clip in the foreground (overlay track) has a mono colored background? What about the image/video clip in the background (main video track), does it need to have a mono colored background, as well? Do both clips need to have mono colored backgrounds for the chroma color to work the best? This is one of the few areas within VS10 that I have not delved into yet, and I want to learn more about this process and achieving the best results.

Thanks, Brian.
