Making compositing part of your projects
You see compositing when you watch a TV meteorologist standing in front of a map or other graphic. As shown in the following photos, most times they're standing in front of a green or blue wall. The technical director uses a keying effect to make that wall transparent, and then inserts a weather graphic. You can do the same thing in your video projects using a Premiere Pro video keying effect.
