This is true. A lot of video editors have a chroma key built in.

[quote=AquaMorph]It's probably best just not to use chroma keying at all if you can't afford the software it takes to do it well.[/quote]

This is not true. Chroma Key is one of the most basic parts of special effects, and has been used for years, even before the digital age. Fancy and expensive software doesn't make chroma key work well. Even if someone has an expensive program like After Effects, but they don't know how to use it, the chroma key can come out terribly. It's the user, not the software.

There is a whole list of free software that does great chroma keying. I can personally recommend Blender. It's more of a 3D software, but once you get the hang of it, you will discover that it has masking, de-spill, and all the things needed for Chroma Keying.

Here's a tutorial on how to use the keying node in Blender.

Here's a wiki page on the Keying Node also.

What do you mean when you say "without having blue all over the set."? Do you mean around the edges of your objects, or is your set tinted blue?]]></content>
