VSProX6sp1 Color Picker HowTo Question

[jaholstein]

Hi - I have a question on how to create a new graphic color chip to match a video background.

Conditions
- Video MainTrack: Color Chip/Graphic
- Video OverlayTrack1: Video of my Mom sitting in a chair against a painted wall being interviewed about her life [age 87]
The project is 16x9 and video is 4x3 which I have left-centered [so there is a black "stripe" to the right of the video image]
As she talks about certain events, I will have .JPG photos show on overlay tracks 2 & 3 in this "black stripe" area
I desire to make the "black stripe" are match the wall behind Mom so project looks more professional

Question:
How can I create a color chip that matches the background painted wall.
All I can think of is to create a screen capture, open that is PAINT, and read-off the color coordinates
Note: My only Corel product is VSPro.

Thanks, Jim

I have achieved a match in the past by using the Chroma Key option inside of VideoStudio - with your video in the overlay track invoke the Mask and Chroma key and then Apply overlay function - generally by default it will select the background colour if not use the eye dropper in there.

If you now click on the little colour square and choose Corel Color Picker you can note the numbers in there - then go back to the color library and create a color block using those figures.
