Thanks, James. I'll look through my copies of RB Developer.

Wasn't their an article in RB Developer or similar that did this with Quartz composer?

The author overlaid some glasses and a mustache over the live video from a camera etc.

Not in front of that computer at the moment though.

Hope this jogs some ones memory ;)

Best,

James

I've seen discussion on alpha channels and picts, however, I'm trying to write software that will allow me to work with video and a green screen. I would like to juxtapose a graphic or another video as a background to a live video (or another video file). Can someone give me any ideas of how I could do this in RB? Is this even possible?

Yes, it's possible, at least on Mac OS X, because I saw it demonstrated at an Apple keynote a few years ago. Of course that software wasn't written in REALbasic, but it's important to remember that a language is just a language -- pretty much anything that can be done in one, can be done in another.

It's likely to take quite a bit of research, though. You want to read up on CoreVideo, and possibly QuickTime. Maybe someone more familiar with these APIs will be able to point you more precisely in the right direction.

Do remember to include what platform you have in mind with questions like this, since such things are supported by the underlying OS, and current OSes vary wildly in such support.

Best,
