Green screen (Chroma Key) editing allows you to replace the background of any green screen footage with your own video, image, or animation.
KineMaster makes this process super easy — even beginners can create professional-quality edits on Android!
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Chroma Key in KineMaster, how to adjust the settings, and how to get the cleanest results.
✅ What Is Chroma Key?
Chroma Key is a video editing technique that removes a single color (usually green or blue) from a video.
Once removed, you can place anything behind your subject — effects, backgrounds, transitions, or animations.
KineMaster’s Chroma Key tool lets you:
-
Remove green/blue background
-
Add VFX and transitions
-
Place overlays on top of your clip
-
Make professional-looking cinematic edits
