Open Source Program For This?

[kevin11951]

are there any open source programs that will take green screen footage and replace it with a video or picture of my choosing?

hopefully a simple program...

The only free chroma-key capable software I'm aware of is t@b (http://www.zs4.net/news-zs4-video-editing-software-release-0958?PHPSESSID=759e6dc3bf9240392f0807dffca56f75). It's gratis but I don't think it's open source.

Blender is for 3d modeling, not flat pictures. But I do agree that it's very complex.

Gimp might be able to <.<.

well, it is possible, i was following the tutorial here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Matte_nodes

I've seen some simpler tutorials for green screen in blender than that. They still required some basic understanding of blender UI and nodes, perhaps, and unfortunately I can't remember where I found them.
