Is it possible to remove the background from a video in Qlab?

[José Miguel Mayoral]

Hi, I have some videos with karaoke lyrics and animated backgrounds. Is there any way to remove or disguise the background and leave only the lyrics in Qlab, or do I have to try it in a video editor?

[Philip Glenn]

Pretty sure you’d have to do that outside QLab.

Can SpectraLayers run inside QLAB?

Need to do this outside of QLab.
You could look at using Magic Mask in DaVincini Resolve Fusion for this.

see a quick demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmQKedj3r2E 

alternatively I would find the lyrics online and make Text cue(s); just need to get the timing right.

Either way it's going to be a quite a lot of work.
