- The Basics of Green Screen is Everything You need to Know. It's long, but I've included Chapter Markers below. I got tired of everyone making green screen work so complicated and wanted all this info in one place! I also demo how I shoot a green screen from start to finish, edit and render it in under 3 minutes!

Great episode. Learned a lot.
Thanks Rick! Appreciate the feedback. :)
Not long at all, you should see the videos we do at our company ;)
Great stuff, learned a lot. Now I'll pitch it to my boss and hope she gives us the green light to go ahead and set up a semi-permanent studio.
Many thanks, my green screen is arriving tomorrow and I’m freaking out.
Can you please do an episode showing how to light yourself and your setup.
@@BasicFilmmaker Thank you, good set of important things for greenscreen. To speed editing things, you can use Q and W keys to trim the footage, it's way faster than dragging it using mouse.
Great video.
The video is almost 5 years old and he is still responding to all the comments what a legend.
Thanks Kushagra! 👍👍👍
Ikr
😁
Like John Legend? I am Legend? Just joking! This is really an amazing video - was feeling lost with all the things you need to know all over the place. It's all here - thank you, sir!
This man is a legend for adding Closed Captions to his content, helping Deaf filmmakers and students altogether learn from his experiences and instructions. Thank you for making your video / channel accessible for us.
Wow, thanks!
I can't believe this video is 8 years old. I have been watching dozens of green screening videos from the past few years and most of them don't cover half as much detail. Bravo and thank you for all the help Kevin!
It's 2023 and this is still one of the best green screen guides! You've even got a few tips that I haven't seen in other recent tutorials.
This is the best green screen tutorial I've ever seen. Great job! This could literally be part of a paid course.
AdamIvy Cool! Send money! (just kidding). Thank you!
***** I would, but I just sent all of my money to a Nigerian Prince who is giving me his fortune. Thank God I checked my spam folder.
Haha! I think I send a bunch of money to his wife! LOL! :)
Hahaha... Hey Adam, great to meet you here! :)) I totally agree-this IS THE BEST! It's both educational and entertaining-Killer! Thank you so much Kevin!!! 😎 ✌️
I agree!!! It is a method that just a person with really knowledges can explain. Excellent Kevin, good job!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Kevin - I've 36 years in the film business. Your green-screen video is simply one of the best training videos on nearly any topic in this crazy business. Thanks for making 23 minutes move right along. Great job - thank you for the effort.
Thanks Steve! I seemed to have hit on something because a lot of people sure do like it. Appreciate the comment!
Just starting out playing around with green screening in OBS and this has to be the most natural looking keying I have ever seen. Usually I can pick up keying and 99% of the time it looks awful. Your studio background looks so natural it absolutely fooled me. Well done.
Thank you. It’s all about the lighting and staying away from the green screen. 👍
Learned more in 20 mins with you than HOURS of other videos on a variety of Premiere Pro subjects (ultra keying included). Hands down, STILL the best green screen video so far -- even 4+ years later. (head shaking). Hard to believe that soooo many green screen videos fail to properly emphasize the importance of LIGHTING THE GREEN SCREEN AS A SEPARATE ELEMENT OF THE SET. Thanks for that and for everything else.
You ROCK!
Thank you very much. Is much appreciated.
Hello Sir, I'm watching this video nearly 4 years after your posting. Though it is a little long by most standards I didn't find it to be too long at all due to all of the FANTASTIC, RELIABLE, REQUIRED AND USE FULL information here in. Most of the video's I've seen so far on the topic give you tips on what to do but are a little weak in the WHY to do it. As a semi pro photographer I understand very well lighting, aperture and shutter speed. Your video here is by far includes the WHY and for that I thank you very much. Great Video....
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the comment!
I also first saw this video today(5-7-2019) and found it very helpful. If good info is being presented, time is not a concern to me.
*useful
same here! 4 years later, and worth every minute! SUBSCRIBED
All I had to do was read the comments and everyone is incredibly positive about this channel, awesome work.
Thanks Strange! Five years old and keeps going. Wish all of my videos worked that well. :)
This is the best "Green Screen for People Starting from 0" On CZcams hands down
Thanks!
I don’t even have any intention of using green screen any time in the near future and I still watched this whole thing. It was interesting and you’re really enjoyable to listen to.
Nice! Thanks Krystal!
This was seriously the best video on this topic! THANK YOU for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us. I really appreciate you!
Thanks so much Kelly!!
I've taught screenwriting, editing, lighting and effects college courses and have worked on several feature fillms.. it is very refreshing to FINALLY find someone explain what i ALWAYS SAID... LIGHT YOU DAMN GREENSCREEN FIRST... THE RIGHT WAY!!!!! as well as DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!! so thank you Kevin!
Thanks! Yep - it's all about the lighting. I abhor spending hour(s) messing in the editor.
Thank you. I've been a classroom teacher for twenty years. You're very good and thorough. In a couple of weeks I'll shoot a green screen video but I'll re-watch this a bout five times first.
Great! Let me know how it turns out! 👍
I love down and dirty tutorials & demos. This was one great and very informative. You get straight to the point and keep on hittin' it. All meat & potatoes-no boring stuff. This was education.
Appreciate the feedback John!
You have heard this old saying "T. M. I." omg! Thank you and as far as I am concerned
I could listen to you covering this subject all day long. Also, thank you for all of the helpful links down below. You even linked to the Portable Steamer. You were real and I enjoyed your enthusiasm.
Thank you!
Comment much appreciated Jerry!!
I don't know why people give you a thumbs down, when your so educational about showing how to do green screen. Don't let it bother you...
It doesn’t bother me at all. It actually makes me laugh at people who come to watch a video for free and really didn’t want to learn anything.
This is incredible. I found this while dreaming about if we could pull off a green screen and now I'm hooked on all of your videos. I'll be here for the next few weeks upping our game. Thanks so much for doing all of these!
Awesome! Thank you!
Got to tell 'ya....... I've been doing green screening for.... years, and I kinda knew everything he said but, it's all here folks. One ONE video. And YES..... it's all about lighting the screen, He nailed it! You should watch this.
Thanks Roger! Really appreciate the kind feedback! 👍
I remember seeing the behind the scenes of "This is The End." They were greenscreening on a set that had green grass on it! I have no idea how they pulled it off so well.
There's a LOT to this thing. It includes masking, rotoscoping, filming plate shots, and having people who really know their tools and spending weeks if not months make stuff look awesome.
Kevin: I never post comments (well, I guess I have to say 'almost never . . . .'). Seriously, THANKS for an outstanding video. This one checks all my boxes: fun, helpful, clear, by a professional, no-nonsense, practical for me, etc.
Your narration is pitch perfect too. I love the phrasing, the voice clarity, the dynamic range, it just slides into my ears so nicely.
Then, most importantly, you have the cajones to take the time that's NEEDED to tell me what I needed to know. That "something worth learning is worth the time to learn," is a concept that just resonates with me. CZcams is full to overflowing with well-meaning people who don't take the time (theirs and mine) the time required for reasonable coverage and accuracy. You do! Thanks!!
I have fallen in love with what I can do for my learners with KdenLive (whose price I can afford) that I could never do with even the latest-greatest and, yes, expensive current version of PowerPoint. I can zoom and draw, and SHOW them and now, thanks to your videos, I can communicate with them so much better and more effectively. Thanks so very much.
Wow! Thank you so much John for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. Very much appreciated!
green screen "Long Video".
I do not think this video is too long!!
As a "nubie" I appreciated all this information -- all in one place!!
THANK YOU -- THANK YOU!!!
You are most welcome and correct. Made for those who wish to learn. 👍
For real, everything is in one video! This is GOLD! I’ve been into video and photography for around 10 years and never learned how to properly green screen. Now I know!! Thanks!
Thanks Trevor! I do appreciate the comment! - Kevin
I understood 90% of this! That's an amazing bit of understanding for someone who has never used a green screen, watched a video about using a green screen, or shot a video for CZcams. The only things I weren't 100% on is stuff I just need to watch Kevin's other videos on, specifically the post-edit stuff. Great video! Just the type of stuff a greenhorn like me needs.
Awesome and thank you!! 👍
Thank you so much! First time green screener here, and wow, great tutorial. 👍🏽
You're welcome!
Nearly 7 years later, this is most likely still the very best green screen tutorial video around -- now that's what I call *evergreen*!!
*crickets*
I've got to admit.. I didn't even figure out the background wasn't really there until well into the video, AND I thought the green screen was actually added in post until you turned off some light!! If that ain't proof you know how to do this a LOT better than I do, I don't know what is...
Thanks so much!
Wow. I wish I'd seen this video three years ago when I got into this stuff. This was excellent from start to finish. Thanks Grandma
Thanks John! Grandma. 😂😂😂
This guy is on a level of his own. He gives a lot of useful information and making a point to the nay-sayers through one video. Great job, Kevin, and keep it up!
Thanks very much. Love that you appreciated the effort. p.s. The entitled who watch stuff for free and complain about it make me LOL... :)
Top Man. Great to listen to somebody who knows their stuff. Cant stand it when people take 5min to learn something then upload it-misleading the viewer-student. Keep up the great work. I will have to go over this several times before it sinks in, but that's the beauty of CZcams. Thank you very much, great tutorial.
Thanks so much John!
YES TO ALL THE GRANDMAS!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!
LOL!!! Thanks!!
5:45 YES! I feel like this on most shoots! I"ve been using the green screener app but the soft boxes won't cut it and
halogen lights can get too hot and are hard to control at times.
Hopefully using this bank lights will help. I've used kino flows before though not being in school anymore, I don't have access to them.
+Gaming Wildlife These seem to help a lot. If you're not paid for green screening, well, unless you got a lot of money, these will work. But, they are NOT Kinoflos. :)
Best chroma key tutorial I have seen! I've been keying for years and I learned so much watching this!
Thanks Ali!
Kevin, I'm really new to this and am a teacher of sorts, looking to create some different ways to answer our issues. This tutorial was a masterclass in how to keep things simple, interesting, funny and REALLY useful. Having watched this I now not only have what I came for, but more than that, twice as much enthusiasm and confidence for the project. Wonderful work sir!!
Being a new green screen user, this was SUPER HELPFUL!!! I have been having trouble for so long, and I hadn't even thought about some of the things mentioned in this video. Again, this is much appreciated!
Dude - i'm 90 seconds into this video, and you are one of the best instructors i've seen in a very long time. LOVE LOVE LOVE your personalism. GREAT presentation, and I'm looking forward to everything AFTER the first 90 seconds.
Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you Brian! 👍
THAT... WAS... EXCELLENT! Thanks! I bought that exact setup a week back and just as you said, watched a ton of green screen videos trying to figure out WTF was happening and why I couldn't get rid of the green shadow on the subject. This answered so many Qs for me. Next on my list, making up a couple of those bank lights from your other video. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and for putting these kick ass videos together.
Thanks Gerald! Hearing comments like that is what keeps me making them!
I dont care who said u talk more than grand. I think you are best teacher. Very detail. Thank you and easy understanding.
LOL! Funny, I don’t care either! 😂😂😂 Thank you!
Excellent Sir Thankyou verymuch.
Thank you!
It fills my heart with joy to see that there is finally a good green screen tutorial video on youtube!
Keep up the good work!
***** Wow! Thank you for the really nice comment. :)
This is **the best** CZcams tutorial I have ever seen, and I've probably watched a bazillion hours of video. Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge!
Thanks so much for the nice comment! :)
Epic stuff. Thanks so much.
👍
It's 12:23AM. I have work tomorrow at 8AM, with an 8 hour, 2 day long training. I work in a completely unrelated field, but this video was worth every bit of info. Thanks!
Robert McCall Wow! Thanks Robert! I hope your day went well!
Man..this is THE BEST explanation of green screen video ever !!!! Now I finally know how to works!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!
Awesome! 👍
Thanks man. I am the one-men band you spoke of. This is crazy helpful. Best to you.
6 years later, of all the green screen videos I've watched this is by far the best.
As a post guy, please allow me to thank you greatly for making this! I will be sending links to this video to many colleagues!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind comment.
"If you don't have the patience to learn something, watch some other video instead." Love it.
👍
Just ran across this. I'm a digital artist, both 3D and painting, and I've also been interested in green screen for awhile, but it all looked so complicated for just a simple home setup. You just took a lot of guess work out. Thank you.
Thank you!
I really appreciate that you took the time to create this. There are so many elements to build on. Again...Thank You!
if you're impatient, you can change video speed.
True that. Or use the linked time makers in the description.
In the age of Covid-19 and self-distancing this is perfect tutorial for anyone wanting to produce video clips on their own using green-screen technology. There are lots of very useful tips for the beginner that will help anyone not only get started but also avoid spending hours in post-production having to correct mistakes because of poor green-screen lighting. Thanks Kevin
Thanks Paul!
Just found this and pretty much gave me the info that I needed to look into more all in one place for my filming project I have starting later this summer.
Well done, VERY helpful. If you are a total noob, this is well worth watching. If you have been playing around with chromakey and want to get a good basic introduction that will help save you time because you don't end up making rookie mistakes and then repeating them, this is great. Thanks Kevin!
Thanks so much Marc!!!
There are so many GEMS of Knowledge in this VIDEO, it's just FANTASTIC, thanks for sharing your BRAIN :)
LOL! My brain. A deep and dark place. Joking aside, thank you. Much appreciated.
Wow - this is awesome!! You've really covered everything anybody could want to ever know about green screening. I was going mad trying to correct all this stuff in post production...finally looking forward to the creative aspect of things now, knowing I can solve all the issues I was facing. Thank you SO much!! :D
Thanks Tracey! Appreciate the feedback!! 👍
Nice tutorial. I got tired of the wrinkly fabric options and painted my basement wall with the special green paint. I film using a wide aperture to de-focus all the imperfections in the concrete. Works great for me.
Awesome. I checked out the GET MORE VIEWS WITH THIS SECRET STRATEGY video, and the in-computer screen skit made me LOL. Nicely done. :)
Best green screen lighting video. I was at the point of giving up. I was making ALL the mistakes. Thanks 👍
This has got to be one of the very few technical videos that I've watched right through without skipping forward even though I didn't understand everything that's being said. Thank you. 💜
LOL! Thanks Dew. It’s a lot of info!
This is an absolutely amazing (not to mention useful) video. Thank you for taking the time to be thorough.
Thank you! And thanks for being a LONG-TIME subscriber and supporter!!
Sir I am a musician from India and I ask singers to sing a song before a green screen in a 11x11 feet room and use Vegas Pro to add some titles, then some scenic background behind the singer. Sir please don't feel that someone said "You are talking more than..." You are explaining so nicely that laymen like me, are understanding step by step. Only thing since our mother-tongue is not English, I understand slowly. If you speak little slow, i feel your video may become longer so I stop and read your writings on the screen and understand. I am a self-learner and I can and could learn only through CZcams tutorials and your channel and your teaching is one of the very few best in these lines. Regarding Sound, sometimes I record audio first in Cubase where I can correct the singer's singing errors, taking into a laptop,, connecting it to Soundcraft mixer, giving mixer output to XLR connections of Sony NX-30 (small videocam) & shooting the singer before the green screen. Sir actually I am not able to light the green-screen because of the space problem (11feet x11feet) room but I am putting one 9watt bulb each on the floor (without any coverings)on left and right side of the green screen. Now only I came to know about GREEN SCREENER and now onwards I will try to do something better than what I were doing. Thanks a lot, God bless you Sir. 👌👍🙏
Thank you Seetha for the kind comment.
The video content, picture, and the youtube description are of great quality. It sets a standard for all youtube tutorials even after 4 years. Thanks Kevin, you have been doing great.
Thanks Patrick!!! 👍👍👍
watched the entire video, this was super super useful :)
thank you!
👍👍👍👍👍
You've Unlocked "Attention Span"... Level Up!
:-)
😁👍
amazing video. thorough, obvious knowledge, and answered the questions the moment they brewed in my mind....and its great to see a full length video, not an A.D.D. video...which usually are too quick, to understand a damn thing, no explanations, no work through problems, and always assumes the viewer knows way too much, or me as the viewer assume you know way to little by the lack of information from your video. Your video was great!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!! why didnt i see this one first, could have literally saved me watching 20 videos!! good job.. thank you so much for sharing. i feel way more confident as to what my problem is, as i am very new to green screen. thank you
Thanks! Really glad it helped, and yes, I tend NOT to cater to the "give it to me all in 2 minutes" crowd. :)
Thank you, I find you to be professional, knowledgable, patient and clear speaking. But most of all I enjoy your channel because of your energy!
Much appreciated Peter!
That's it! You cut the BS and really just answered the questions I didn't know I had (the new green screen and lights aren't unpacked yet) with enough technical to figure things out, but without being so advanced I would have to Google the words to figure out what you were talking about. THANK YOU, perfect to jump start this whole thing.
Thanks Jeffery!! Appreciate you taking the time to leave the feedback. 😂
recommendations have raised and introduced you well to me, and this time, i genuinely needed this. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind comment!
Kevin, this is just fantastic for my University students. We are trying to do THEATRE in the time of Covid. Thank you so much!
You are MOST welcome! Thanks!
Thank you, now i know what mistake i made.
Best regards from germany
Stefan
Awesome Stefan. Glad this helped!
Sir, Your wittiness has earned you a subscription. Many thanks. EDIT : 4:24 Anyone else see that with the naked eye ?
That's why I use the app. I can see a certain amount with the eyeballs, but looking through the app, it's a Wow!
Love this. Thanks for sharing this knowledge and also making it fun to watch!!!
Thanks Jay!!
You explained everything the way I have been needing to hear it. Thank you, sir. This is THE best tutorial on green screen I have seen. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks ninja19!
love the video, what i love the most is the last parts where you got mistakes. thanks for adding that its pretty inspirational because i get discourage when that kind of things happen, now i know that i am not the only one who have that.
LOL! For sure! I think in 8 years I had TWO videos I didn't make a mistake in. I just laugh it off usually. :)
Some of these I have already learned as a idea, but not in makeing.
I bought a green fabrick, two meters and three meters to create the wall in backround. It needs really good light and better cam when space is bigger, but I have this life to learn.
Thank you for these videos!
Thank you Jenni!
I had no idea you were on a green screen when this video started. Well done.
Oh that’s cool! Thanks very much!
Thank you mr. boomer, this was a great stimulating tut, great hook to the vid.
👍👍👍
Thank you for this! After so many videos saying what you basically said..."the number one problem with green screen is uneven lighting and good luck to you". I finally found some answers I was looking for!
Excellent. Thank you.
That sequence leading up to the editing room was excellent. And people thought Dunkirk had good editing.
Many thanks!
Thank you Sir, Good Information. As A Film school Graduate, I Appreciate your help and support.
Thanks again buddy, Rod P. Jr.
Any time!
The most useful green screen hint ever. Thank you, sir!
Thanks Alejandro!
Easily the best green screen tutorial I’ve watched yet. I feel stupid that I never considered using depth of field to make screening easier. That’s a point missing from every tutorial I’ve seen today but this one.
Thanks!! 👍
Beginning was savage loved it. Made me dedicate the rest of my drive to watch it all the way thru
Fantastic video! One of your best.
I learned a few things.
24 cores! What?! Please do a video on that topic please!
24 cores refers to his computer processor(s)
Right!? That blew my damn mind. I'd love to see his computer/workstation setup.
Ditto!
Please do. Intel Xeon 56XX...?
Dave Dugdale Oh man. Now I've done it. I hate doing the "look what I got!" videos. :) It's a system that was built from parts ordered by my IT guys and because of that, it was "only" 10Gs (for the box). Add in the 3 monitors, wireless keyboard and mice, tablet, 4gig mems on the vid card - yeah, it works pretty well. Maybe I should ship it to you Dave...you have WAY more experience doing these techie type things that I do. :)
People always ask me "Green screen or Blue Screen" the answer is "it depends" video uses Blue screen because blue is the opposite if fleshtone, and all video professionals choose blue. Green screen is what cinematographers use. Because they used film and film is more sensitive to green. But clean lighting ls most important! Also proper clothing is important. I have been doing professional chromakey since the early 60s and a Emmy award editor.
True that roy Yung.
Pro’s use both. Green pulls a better key than blue for codecs that are not 4:4:4 which is most of the time. Green holds more information in the signal. Only reason I have ever used blue is outside if there is grass or foliage in the shot because in that case you want all of your green spill.
@@blackout1111 they use Blue for video because its the opposite of skin tone. Maybe you never saw a real professional chroma key Blue background before, but its color almost hurts the eyes and pulls a fantastic key. Its all how you light it. I have been doing video production / editing for over 50 years and also a Emmy award editor. Green was always used for film becuase of the films sensitivity to green. Disney used sodium vapor lamps for thier background and used special til to generate the mask
roy Yung I was just making the point that in film developing days, before DI’s, you use the traditional (old) method of blue with film that was blue sensitive so the blue would print clear. Blue was the film standard because of this type of film. Star WARS, Dune etc.
Green gets twice as much chroma detail on all the popular video broadcast 4:2:2 codecs like DNxHD and ProRes as well as the crappy 4:2:0 avchd and mpeg stuff. Im sure you know this from all of your experience in post production green is best for these compressed video codecs...because the green channel is much less compressed.
@@blackout1111 in the "old" days as you referred to, film was much more sensitive to the Green not blue. In video, the green channel is used as reference for the blue and red channels. Again rhe reason blue was chosen was because it was the opposite of the skin tone as green produced artifacts that were hard to key out and the spill made people look unnatural. This is why film people use green and video people use blue. Before images are encoded you must take into consideration if the sensativity if the sensor used in the cameras. For example in high quality film scanners there is ni encoding and it is 4:4:4. For the sake of readers who are unfamiliar with encoding method the first number (A) is the number of pixels in the sample (usually 4) the second number (B) is the number of chromance samples in the first row of A samples, and the 3rd number (C) is the number if changes of chrimanace samoles between the frist and second rows of A. But that is all about encoding. What is important is the sensitivity of the imaging device. As stated high quality film scanner use no chroma subsampling. Usually in production and cinematic post production no chroma subsampling is done for maximum quality. Since no chroma subsampling is done for live production it is at the discretion of the technical people to decide which they want to use. Again, blue is chosen for the opposite of skin tones.
After a signal leaves the production switcher is is then recorded using compression or non compression depending on the Post House. I prefer using non compression because of higher quality. So to the original observation the red and blue channels are referenced from the main green channel. Even when setting color linearity of cameras, the green channel is as the reference to adjust the blue and red channels. (I have set up thousands of cameras this way) as all image sensors to not track the colors the same way and in multi camera shoots this is obviously important.. If am image has chroma subsampling (ie recorded image your best bet for correct linearity and no chroma artifacts would be green. But again it totally depends on the situation. Again for live it cinematic post production where humans are in the shot, I would always choose blue
Best video ever. Thank you. Watched it over and over. Did exactly what you recommend. It’s the only way that worked. Should be part of a paid course!
Thank you. Always though of making a course out of this for 2020. If only I had the time. :)
The quality of this presentation is way over the top! I'm very happy to have found it. I wish I had this information years ago when I gave up trying this myself. I knew back then that I needed real lights and not cheap junk that I had bought.
Thanks Dave J!
Wow, Kevin excellent job. To be honest, just a person with knowledge and experience about lighting, can explain a topic like this in the way you make it. Thank you for sharing!!! You have a new subscriber!!!
Thank you Jose!!!
This is the best Green Screen tutorial ever!
Appreciate the comment Ricardo!
I'm 2 minutes in an got 20 minutes to go and am excited to be here. I'm disabled/have ptsd; and so far you speak in a way I can completely understand. This is cool. Thank you..
Thanks Jesse! Appreciate the kind comment.
This is just perfect! Thank you for being so thorough, who cares if it's long, it's wonderful! I love that you marked the sections for easy viewing. I never get the lighting right, so please wish me luck!
Thank you and good luck!!
I'm only 3.5 minutes in and you're already my favorite person on CZcams. :-)
LOL! Thanks Cory. Appreciate it!
I second that!
*We are green with envy over your film making skills*
😀😀😀
You are the man! I've tried so many videos but your method 2 worked for me - thanks! I was so tired of trying to fold this thing!!!
Awesome and Thank You Gaynor!
Great Video!! I will watch this video a bunch of times….very informative!! Thank You!!👍 I learned alot!!
Awesome video. I especially like the blooper reel at the end.
Thanks much Michael!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 everything I needed to know 😭👌🏾
👍
Thank you for sharing!
Incredibly thorough and informative
Thanks Steve!
Is it possible to create a basic green screen effect n the background of a subject for a video using a phone camera or is a higher spec required. I'd like to use a green screen for my reviews and want to gauge the cost if I have to buy a separate camera. Also what programs would you suggest for editing? (some I have seen mentioned online are no longer active) thanks
Sure you can. A good phone with lots of light on the screen and talent will work.
p.s. Hitfilm is free. I use Premiere Pro.
@@BasicFilmmaker fantastic! Thank you very much
You bet and Happy New Year!
@@HazardF5 people are dumping Adobe Premiere for DaVinci. Premiere is shooting themselves in the foot with thier pricing and constant internet connection. DaVinci is also free, although I gladly pay the $299 for the pro version as I feel is very reasonable and it keeps them work on it. It works for Windoze, Mac, and Linux!!
