Chroma Key

Description

Chroma Key

The chroma key feature is activated as follows:

- load a background image with SetImageOverlayFromImageFile (or another SetImageOverlayFrom... function)

- enable the ImageOverlayEnabled property

- enable the ImageOverlay_ChromaKey property

- assign the chroma key RGB color to use to the ImageOverlay_ChromaKeyRGBColor property

- adjust the chroma key leeway % (optional) with the ImageOverlay_ChromaKeyLeewayPercent property (the default value is 25%)

E.g.:

VideoGrabber.PlayerFileName := 'my video clip.avi';
VideoGrabber.SetImageOverlayFromImageFile ('my background image.jpg');
VideoGrabber.ImageOverlay_ChromaKeyRGBColor := $FF0000; // the blue color
VideoGrabber.ImageOverlay_ChromaKeyLeewayPercent := 20; // 20%
VideoGrabber.ImageOverlay_ChromaKey := true;
VideoGrabber.ImageOverlayEnabled := true;
VideoGrabber.OpenPlayer;
