I confirm again chroma key not working

[Andrius_Vasaitis]

version 21.09.20.
I took another editing soft and changed chroma key for background and can see difference, i opened Shortcut changed chroma key for same video, no any changes.
Simple : “pick a color on the screen” function seems working, but no changes on video ; trying “distance” - no any changes, ok lets try another, lets say “chroma hold” - working, lets try “Blend Mode” - no any changes.

Quick question. Did you put the clip on the same track or on a new track on top of the existing track? I tried it on 21.09.20 and working fine.

Here is sample

Here is how must work

You cannot use the Chroma-Key filter on a clip on track V1. The clip has to be on a higher track so the Chroma-key enables the underlying track(s) to show through the transparency it creates.

See here on how to use it, or check out the first reply above.

How to Use a "green-sceen" Video to Overlay Another

I have created a short (4 minute) video of how to use the “Chroma Key: Simple” filter to overlay a “green-screen” video on top of another.

This may be the solution, but you never responded to this post.

Shotcut chroma key simple not working

Thank you. I watched your video. There is nothing underneath the video on V1. Shotcut does not blend video on V1 with a black blackground. Shotcut does not show transparent areas with a white-and-gray checker board unless you add the Alpha Channel: View filter. Chroma Key works on your green oval because you have the clip on a track above V1 with something below it so you can see something else. Again, what do you want to see when you remove the color? Move the clip with red oval to a higher tra…

Seeing in your last example video, you’re wanting the color to go black, just stick a black color underneath on V1, Your Video on V2, Chroma key on V2.

Sorry for no answer.
Back in a day, i got trouble on exporting video and need time to relax :), i think there was problems with iphone X better quality video shooting. There is 2 options in phone.
Exporting gone wrong and i understood that nothing i can do here, so i went to another editor.
Second Shortcut hudge problem was cpu load and lag on effects.
But i see you improving soft and thats nice.

I think you need some text boxes in editor with short explain.

There is just a few steps to add color (even black) to a video.

You can expand out the color clip by dragging the right edge (or left edge, depending on where you placed it).

@Andrius_Vasaitis , has any of our replies solved you problem? If yes, please mark it as a solution.

[Andrius_Vasaitis]

Can find where to mark possible solution. But in fact problem not solved and you will receive same question time after time.

The answer is: the Chroma-key filter is working as designed. It will not work on track V1. The video clip has to be on track V2 or higher.
