I am trying to figure out how to do some green screen "editing" on a looping MP4 background. I have a green screen behind me, and I have the MP4 as an input and I have the camera image where I want it, but on the MP4 there is a TV screen with a green screen for chroma keying. I would like to have another input or even more that would allow me to insert videos or static screens in this virtual "tv". I cannot seem to figure it out.

You can see the MP4 file I started with on youtube.

Thanks!

This is exactly what Im trying to get, but I dont need the reflection since the tv screen will display an image or video depending on what Im discussing in the vidcast.

Is it possible to have the "virtual tv screen" be another input? in my case it will be the output from a laptop running MediaShout. So I will be using that as the input.

I guess this ends up being like a virtual set... I just didn't care for the one included.

I am a minister doing a vidcast on technology and how to use it in a Church's broadcast. So I wanted it to kind be a cozy setting but still look very professional.

Thanks Ice for your help!

I do this all the time, here's how:

1. add input and choose your video you want to use as a moving background.

2. add input virtual set and choose contemporary studio.

3. add input and choose your camera.

4. now to set up the background, go to virtual set contemporary studio and click on setup you will see (layer: backdrop), underneath click on input and select your video, go to your video you added and click play + loop and the video will play.

5. click on virtual set contemporary studio and click on the cog to edit it then go to position, overlay 1 and click on (reset all) and the video will resize to full size, then exit.

6. go back to setup on virtual set contemporary studio and click on layer: set and click on visible to make the set to disappear, then click on layer: talent the click on input to add your camera, then click on layer: table and click on visible to make the table disappear.

Now you have your virtual set working but you may have to resize the talent to make it fit the background by going back to (position) overlay 3.

Now save your preset.

I hope I have given you everything and it works for you.

Thanks everyone! I got it working thanks to your great help.

One of the problems I keep having is realizing that I need to setup an input for each resource. Like a PNG image or a Video. I came to vMix from the VidBlaster camp. In vidblaster you create an input that acts like a player. In the player you can create a playlist of videos, images, etc. This way you are only creating one input. Once I realized that I wasn't dealing with a player, it made it easier for me to understand.

I have MediaShout on a laptop, and I run the desktop capture software on it. I use mediashout to play the videos, show pictures etc in the virtual tv screen on my background.

Thanks again guys for your help! I appreciate it!

God Bless,
