It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein a news presenter is usually seen standing in front of a large
CGI map during live television newscasts, though in actuality it is a large blue or green background. When using a blue screen,
different weather maps are added on the parts of the image where the color is blue. If the news presenter wears blue clothes,

keying is also used in the entertainment industry for special effects in movies and videogames. The advanced state of the
technology and much commercially availablecomputer software, such as Autodesk Smoke Final Cut Pro Pinnacle Studio Adobe
After Effects, and dozens of other computer programs, makes it possible and relatively easy for the average home computer
user to create videos using the "Chromakey" function with HDM-SPLITPRO-4A.
