I would like to use this camera overlay on top of a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzpaGJ8r3Kg
I have tried using the Sony Chroma Keyer effect and adjusting the threshold but it doesn't work, no amount of tweaking can make it look good.
Is it possible to remove the black and just make it look transparent?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Create a white image with a red box where the record light is flashing. Overlay that image onto your main video using the youtube video as an alpha mask. The mask will work best if you convert the alpha mask to greyscale and increase brightness/contrast so the red dot becomes completely white (and the background remains black)

Here's a script that creates an RGB32 clip with an alpha channel, ready to be overlaid onto a video:
Code:alpha = LWLibavVideoSource("Security camera CCTV overlay video effect CC0 [LzpaGJ8r3Kg].webm", cache=false, prefer_hw=2).GreyScale().ColorYUV(gain_y=2000, off_y=-190).Blur(1.0) white = BlankClip(width=alpha.width, height=alpha.height, color=$ffffff) red = BlankClip(width=64, height=64, color=$a00000) white = Overlay(white, red, x=1622, y=80) MergeARGB(alpha, ShowRed(white), ShowGreen(white), ShowBlue(white)) Trim(0, 249)

While jagabo is doing you a big favor giving you an alpha channel version to work with and bypass chromakey, understand, @vegas13, that your question "is it possible to remove the black and just make it look transparent" is strange as that is exactly what Chromakey (or Lumakey in this particular instance) does. If you are not getting the results you were intending, perhaps you are not using it properly.
Tell us more how you have/had it set up in Vegas...
