  Worked on running software experiments to find the right input parameters for a video editing software to enable the automation of the editing of recorded lecture videos. The videos would be recorded on green screen and the process of keying out the green screen was being done manually. So I had to apply my software skills to develop scripts to run experiments to find the appropriate chroma key values that would be used to automatically do the green screen removal.
