# Chroma key screens

Chroma key screens display a chosen color as transparent. You can use these screens with what are commonly referred to as green-screen videos. For example, you can record a person against a solid color background, and then, when you play that video on a chroma key screen, they will appear as though they are standing in the environment.

## Adding a chroma key screen to an experience

1. If the timeline view isn't active in the editor panel, select the timeline icon (<img src="https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-da0f5ad3a4006009141ec0303d7d51c17fe71ef8%2Ficon_timeline_unselected.png?alt=media&amp;token=e31b174b-8234-4254-bebb-58f0c39b3680" alt="" data-size="line">).
2. From the panel on the left-hand side, select <img src="https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b98651caafb53c306344b441591d797308c8f683%2Ficon_ifx.png?alt=media&amp;token=4b4f10e0-26dc-4925-ba60-254b253bb1f4" alt="" data-size="line"> **IFX**.
3. From the library of IFX, select a screen that includes **chroma key** in its title.
4. Place the IFX in the environment. For more information about the controls that are available when you add an IFX, see [Adding IFX](/engage/advanced-features/using-ifx/adding-ifx.md).

## Chroma key screen effect options

For instructions on how to access effect options, see [Effect options](/engage/experience-editor/working-with-objects/effect-options.md). Additional settings depend on whether the chroma key screen uses shared media or an external URL. For more information, see [Shared media screens](/engage/experience-editor/videos-and-screens/shared-media-screens.md#shared-media-screen-effect-options) or [External URL screens](/engage/experience-editor/videos-and-screens/external-url-screens.md#external-url-screen-effect-options).

All chroma key screens include an option to set which color in the video will be transparent.

* To set the transparency color, select **Choose Color**, select a color in the **Color Picker**, and then select **OK**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/videos-and-screens/chroma-key-screens.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
