green screen

Hi, new to this Forum. Was looking for some advice, I have VS
10 Ultimate and and was curious if anyone has a link to green screen
Tutorial and somewhere I can download lava footage. Basically
My granddaughter wants video of her jumping from vision to vision
To avoid red hot lava. "Floor is lava" game they play these days.
Thanks
Carl.

Green screen is quite simple. Record your daughter in front of the green screen making sure the screen is flat and evenly lit. i.e. No Shadows on the screen. She can jump about.
Record your background or transfer your footage into VS. Put the lava scene onto the main track and the green screen onto the first overlay track. Click on the overlay track and Open Options. Click on Mask & Chromakey then on Apply Overlay Options. Use the Dropper Symbol to click on the green background and you should see the main video through the transparent background. You can then play with the locations as you like.
Hope this helps

Edit: If you go into Corel's Discovery Centre and type in Chroma Key, you will find a number of articles and tutorials.
