| Mosaic framework (How-To) |
| Modules: mosaic (mosaic-bridge • bridge-in • bridge-out) • alphamask • bluescreen |
| Module: bluescreen | |
|---|---|
| Type | Video filter |
| First VLC version | 0.9.0 |
| Last VLC version | - |
| Operating system(s) | all |
| Description | change the video's alpha channel |
| Shortcut(s) | - |
This filter can be used in the mosaic framework to set a video's alpha channel (or transparency) based on a pixel's color. This is also known as green screen or chroma key blending and can be used to create effects like on most weather channels.
Options
- bluescreen-u <integer> : U chroma component (0 to 255) default value: 120
- bluescreen-v <integer> : V chroma component (0 to 255) default value: 90
- bluescreen-ut <integer> : U chroma component threshold (0 to 255) default value: 17
- bluescreen-vt <integer> : V chroma component threshold (0 to 255) default value: 17
Example
% vlc -vvv --vlm-conf mosaic.vlm --mosaic-keep-picture --sub-filter mosaic
And the vlm config:
new channel0 broadcast enabled
setup channel0 input rushfondvert.avi
setup channel0 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{chroma=YUVA,vfilter=bluescreen},select=video}
new background broadcast enabled
setup background input redefined-nintendo.mpg
control background play
control channel0 play
Have a look at http://people.videolan.org/~dionoea/bluescreen2.mpg for an example of the VLC bluescreen filter. The overlay video is http://people.videolan.org/~dionoea/rushfondvert.avi and features someone with a mask in front of a green background. The bluescreen module's default values are adjusted to remove the background from this video. For other videos you should use your favorite color editing tool to find out the appropriate U and V values.
Another example
Tested with VLC 2.0.0
new channel0 broadcast enabled
setup channel0 input rushfondvert.avi
setup channel0 output #duplicate{dst=mosaic-bridge{height=270,width=360,chroma=YUVA,vfilter=bluescreen},select=video}:display
new background broadcast enabled
setup background input file:///mire.jpg
control background play
control channel0 play
