The effect is available in versions 5.5 and above. In this sample, I used the Color Key effect on the footage using Adobe Premiere PRO CC2015. For a steady shot you can use a selfie stick. You can get away with some decent shots using an iPhone. My camera is what is known as a “prosumer” camera, it looks like a camcorder but it’s way more powerful. It really helps if you camera has a side view display that so you can see whether or not you are in frame for the shot. You could also use a table or desk to sit the camera on. Ideally, set the camera up on the tripod so it remains stable on a flat surface. Google Drive or other cloud based storage (optional).Articulate Storyline or Storyline2 (I’m using SL2).Green Screen ( if none available, try shooting in front of a colored wall or sheet that does not match the character’s colors).Adobe Premiere PRO or Adobe After Effects (this is the software I used to remove the video background) or equivalent video editing software.If not, you can use your iPhone or other device’s video camera. HD camera, preferably anything capable of 1080i resolution.In this post, I share the process and some creative tips to integrate videos without background into your elearning courses. In this sample, I mimic those classic movie shows where the highlights of an actor’s career are shown and the host adds commentary. I didn’t get to go this year (sniff, sniff), but instead I created this interaction with greenscreen effects and my own acting performance (what can I say? I’m on a low budget) to participate in the challenge.

Every Storyline user was excited to see her there at the Articulate booth and many even got the chance to take a selfie with her. Atsumi is an actor, model and talented Taiko drummer who is in fact the default elearning photographic character that comes with Articulate Storyline. Why? Another awesome ELH Challenge of course! This week’s challenge #101 was inspired by the presence of Atsumi at the recent DevLearn 2015 conference. This week I did a bit of quick green screen video editing to create a mock TV show dubbed “eLearning Legends: Atsumi”.

Instructional videos have always been considered a great way to convey knowledge or illustrate concepts.
