How do I change video background in Premiere Rush?

Question

Hi

My college Children's Literature class requires that I shoot a video of me reading a book for the viewing audience and providing a series of informational trivia after the reading is finished.

I don't really have an appropriate reading nook in my home, so I'd like to record it and change the background to a solid or muted/blurred image background.

Is this possible with Adobe Premiere Rush? I can only afford the $10 Adobe CC Creative Suite right now, so I can only work with the software solutions that provides to me.

If post production video change to background is impossible, should I just shoot in front of a sheet or something? Any and all help is requested, appreciated and will be utilized. Thank you!!

Hey there! Filming in front of a sheet or a blank wall sounds like a great idea. If you have a wall with a piece of art on it, or maybe a plant you can sit next to in front of a blank wall, that would be a great way to create a more "staged" look.

Replacing the background in post-production is called chroma-keying and is not currently available in Rush. Hope your video goes well!
