HOW TO Fold Up A Pop-Up 5x7 Green Screen Background--Easily!

Those 5x7' Green Screens can be a life saver to your video project, but they can also be a BIG PAIN when it comes to putting them away.
If you're like me, the instructions for folding them up correctly are LONG GONE. There is an easier way to go about folding them up.
Take a look at this video and see if this might be the way to get that monster folded back up!

Jesus this was the best method, I thought I would have to live the rest of my life with a giant greenscreen in front of my wardrobe

[@StairwayToVideo]

Very glad it helped. Thanks!

[@jocelyneshiromotolcsw6378]

This is the best video out there on how to fold these son-of-guns easily. I'm a 5'2" 72 year old women and was able to do it by myself. Thanks Jim.

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad it helped. Thanks for commenting on the video and for taking the time to watch the video!!

[@angelathomas149]

Protect this man AT ALL COSTS!!!!! He is a national treasure!!!!! I also struggled with this thing for two months!!!!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks! I appreciate the comment! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!

[@HiDeathinition]

Jim, YOU ARE A LEGEND. I got one of these a few days back and your video prevents me from sleeping in the dog house as I finally can put it back into the bag and stow it away. Much to the pleasure of my partner who was not pleased which led to the dog house thread if it stays unfolded in our guest room...

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad I could help. You are way too kind! Thanks.

[@oomingmakroo]

This was the fourth video I tried to follow and I got it in a second!!! Way way simpler than other videos. Thank you!!!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad the video helped! Thanks for commenting and for watching the video!

[@evananderson9635]

In the first half of the video, you make it look really easy. In the second half of the video, you give a key tip -- make sure you get three circles and it will fit well. Thanks for breaking this down for me (so to speak)!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Cool, thanks. Glad it helped you!

[@ChrisLayfield]

Seriously, I've been trying for 15 minutes. Watched this video, and immediately did it. Life saver!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad it helped. Thanks for commenting!

[@lawrencekraman5775]

OK, so like all the others, I have gone STARK RAVING MAD trying to fold the green screen. Was able to do it 2 years ago, and then totally forgot. AND just like the others, got it on the FIRST TIME!! You are the YODA of green screens. LET THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

[@StairwayToVideo]

LOL!! Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it!

[@RyanYeager1979]

You have BY FAR the easiest method of getting this folded down. Thank you so much for the video! Subscribed!!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thank you!

[@kenweiss8808]

I have watched so many videos to figure out how to fold our 5x7 green screen. They were so complicated. I watched yours, and had it folded and in the bag within 2 mins. I tried it three more times, and each was just as easy. Thanks Jim!

[@StairwayToVideo]

That's great! Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.

[@thombrennan9784]

It wasn't a problem that the instructions got lost, it was they were useless. I didn't think I would ever get it back in the bag. THANK YOU!!!!! I've been moving the damn thing around the house for two weeks and in five minutes it's stored. I'm bookmarking this for every time i try to use it again. And THANK YOU!!! again.

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks for commenting. Glad it helped!

[@talentibbs]

YOU JUST MADE MY LIFE BETTER!! THANK YOU! I've been living with this thing OPEN in my guest bedroom for about 6 months (no lie) --I've seen 2 other videos, asked neighbors and family for help, etc. YOU are the only one who made the video useful. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

[@StairwayToVideo]

You're so welcome! Thanks!

[@cee_willy]

[@StairwayToVideo]

You're welcome. Glad it helped. Thanks!

[@alannapalardy8198]

THIS! I struggled with this baby for over an hour the first time before my fiancee had to step in and do it for me, so imagine my dread when I needed to do it again when he wasn't here! After abouy a half hour of struggling and watching different videos and struggling some more. I watched this video and got it on the FIRST try! THANK YOU!!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Glad the video helped! Thanks for taking the time to comment and to watch the video!!

[@barryosullivan606]

Thanks a million, Jim. I went blue in the face trying to fold this darn thing down - after watching heaps of videos that said it was easy, trying their 'technique' and failing. I watched your video once and have since folded the green screen away twice on the first go, using your technique that works. Brilliant.

[@StairwayToVideo]

Thanks. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching the video!

[@rjgmlar]

I am so happy I found your video. This is the simplest and best method out there. Thank you for posting this!

Yes!!! You are the best, and this is the first video that worked. :) A++++ Followed

[@StairwayToVideo]

[@TheMadHermit]

I have the same green screen and man... you made that look easy! Nice quick tutorial! Saving for later so the next time I have to put it away I have a guide!

[@StairwayToVideo]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RobertoDiaz7]

Great tip! Gonna try it later today.

[@thesalesbreakthroughcoach2099]

Oh, thank you. You don't know what this means. I still had the instructions but what they DON'T tell you is to put your foot on the rim of the screen. I'm only five feet tall, so you can imagine me trying to wrangle that thing to collapse and I didn't know what I was doing. Now it's safely away in the box and we don't have to look at the huge green Frisbee in my dining room!

[@StairwayToVideo]

I’m glad it helped! Thanks!

[@nicolairvine5525]
