How to use green screen animated gifs with PTE

[Lin Evans]

One of the new techniques being played with by some owners of newer smart phones are green screen animated gifs. Although we can easily use animated gifs with PTE, and we can chroma key green screen videos, we don't have the ability to directly use greenscreen animated gifs hundreds of which are freely available in places like "Giphy" on the web. Actually, with a free screen video capture tool like SRecorder, we can easily incorporate these animated gifs by just recording them while playing then saving them as an mp4. Take the mp4 into PTE and use the chroma key extraction to make the  green background invisible so your own images and videos show and "viola" you have effectively added a new dimension to your possibilities with PTE. Works like a charm...

Note to Self - Check Spelling And Don't Let Spell Corrector Do Your Job - LOL.... Dave reminded me that "viola" is a stringed instrument and "Voila" is "behold" - good catch !!!! HA!

Viola = a stringed instrument

Voila = behold

Ha!  Good catch! That stringed instrument just doesn't get it to add that dimension to PTE - LOL

LOL - the mysteries of forums...  software gremlins permeate our environment I think... 

I've answered a few that were years old because I didn't pay attention to the dates.
