Watched a news blooper where the anchor's green screen failed mid-sentence
Saw this clip from a local station in Ohio yesterday. Anchor was talking about the weather and suddenly half her body turned into a tree behind her. The graphics guy must have hit the wrong button or something. Took them a solid 10 seconds to fix it while she kept talking like nothing was wrong. Has anyone else seen a green screen fail that bad live on air?

Wait, was it the same Ohio station that accidentally showed someone's window on air?

That anchor handled it like a pro though. Half her face turning into a tree and she just kept going without skipping a beat. Those local news people are tougher than they get credit for. The green screen glitch was funny for about three seconds but her composure was the real story. Some big network anchors would have cracked a joke or lost their place.

April 10th 2022, I remember that clip going viral and yeah she kept her cool. But actually that wasn't a green screen glitch, it was a chroma key mapping error from the weather wall software. The anchor's composure was impressive no doubt, just wanted to point out the technical side a bit.
