Virtual Sets

What are Virtual Sets? The most basic answer is putting a person somewhere they are not. This is usually done by a process called chromakeying, removing the colored background behind the talent and replacing it with something else, like the weather. The background can be a picture, video, or computer generated images.
Here at Virtualset.com we provide libraries of royalty free virtual backgrounds that were designed for you to chromakey your talent into them.
Our virtual set backgrounds work with a variety of platforms, some of which are listed on this page. Our libraries are broken into four main categories: computer generated still images, computer generated animations, camera generated still images, and camera generated video.
