- Step 1: Import your clip and new title elements. Place the news text element above your footage.
- Step 2: Search your Effects panel for the Keyer/Chroma Key effect. Add it to the news text element.
- Step 3: In the Effects Control panel, finely tune your Chroma Key effect until all green is removed.
