Chroma Key

Version 2.5

Sequel DV upgrade

Sequel to ScreenPlay upgrade



Chroma Key for ScreenPlay and Sequel is an Amazing, Easy and Fun-to Use Tool for Adding Creativity and Excitement to your video.

What makes our Chrom Key unique, is that it allows you to Key off ANY COLOR YOU CHOOSE, not just blue or green! Is that easy or what!

Applied Magic's Chrom Key effect lets you record live action video in front of any colored background, by replacing the Chroma Key colored background with alternate video footage.

Television stations use Chroma Key in the production of their weather segments. For example, when the weather person stands in front of a weather map on a news set. Chroma Key tools are also commonly used in Hollywood feature films to create virtual sets.

So get your Chroma Key today and start using this creative dimension to enhance your video productions. Chroma Key costs $120 and you can purchase this upgrade through your local Applied Magic dealer, or directly from Applied Magic.



Applied Magic Makes Waves in the Video Editing Industry with the Release of A/B Roll for ScreenPlay.

To say we are excited about A/B Roll for ScreenPlay is an understatement.

This new optional ScreenPlay editing tool is THE FIRST nonlinear video editing software on the market to emulate the switcher functionality doing A/B Roll.

ScreenPlay's new A/B Roll "switching effect" lets you quickly and easily fade or cut between two simultaneously playing clips while working on one storyboard. Or to say it another way, to combine video footage that was captured from two different angles using two cameras.

The switching effect takes real-time controls from the keyboard during playback and "records" those controls so it automatically remembers your actions. It also allows you to generate a storyboard and add transitions to your production. When you sync two clips using ScreenPlay's A/B Roll, the audio stays in sync. It's that easy to add this potent effect to your video productions.

Applied Magic is proud to be able to provide you with a tool that offers the features and benefits of a linear switcher (Videonics MX) while also giving you the added features and flexibility of nonlinear editing.

A/B Roll was released just this week, and is available now for only $120

You can purchase this upgrade through your local Applied Magic dealer, or directly from Applied Magic.
