Green screen (chroma key) (chroma key) — Replacing a solid-color background so you can drop in any scene.
Green screen, or chroma key, removes a solid-color background so you can place a subject over any footage. In faceless videos it's used for overlays — a cut-out element, a sticker or a graphic — composited cleanly onto the scene.
A good editor keys it out per layer so overlays blend naturally with your b-roll.
