You are having Good Teacher's qualities ,learning lot from your videos. New commers like Me will have good teacher like you , I will follow you and will learn, implement lot of things from you . Thank You Mam
Thank you. I am a music teacher, developing virtual content for my students to access asynchronously. I am looking to use green screen videos to better engage students and encourage them to watch the entire video! Your instruction is very helpful in getting me started. I can't wait to try this out!
Great video Salma - love the how to/explainer. Here's two things I didn't realise. 1) Masking. I film in a small space and I used to fill the frame with my green screen so consequently, my talking head videos were REALLY close. I only just realised (after 6 months) that I can use a mask to crop out the white walls and the doorway etc, so that it only shows green - means I can put the camera further away. 2) You can stack the Ultra key preset. So if you are really struggling to eliminate the green, use one Ultra Key preset - pick a shade of green. Then hide the first preset so you can see the green screen again and on a second Ultra key preset you can pick another shade of green. This has been working well for me to remove shadows (so it's one ultra key for highlights and one ultra key for shadows0 Keep those videos coming! Love the glimpse into the process.
welldone Salma! You described it in easy to understandable format for beginners. 1:20 - that was nice example to give great sense of having green/blue screen :)
Hi, I like your presentation, I’ve a question Regarding D.Y.I Seems like you are in America / Canada, I want to know from where you buy those wide Clamps to hold the backdrops I’m here in Toronto Canada I’ve been searching for these Clamps Home Depot, Dollar Shops, Fabric Land Staples business depot Can you Please guide me Appreciate your helpful reply Zamir
Salma Jafri Media actually my videos are about safety education you can see through my profile because am publishing the videos through same I'd , actually right now am trying to make videos through phone and using Windows movie Maker to edit it but I wanna give something more to my students as you said in "principle of reciprocity" 😀 so please suggest me all the tools that you are using to shoot and edit videos so that I can apply the same and make miracles like you please. Am looking for the support and eventually turned as mad by watching thousands of suggestions by different TH-camr but finally I trust your authenticity 😊
Hi Salma. Thank you for creating very useful videos for new content creators like me. I’m setting up my green screen studio in a very, very small room. I’m also about 2 feet away from my green screen and I want to know how far are you from your camera. By the way, since I’m just starting out, I’m using my mobile phone. Just like what you said in one of your videos, “no excuses.” And so, I’m doing just that. No excuses. I need to start using whatever resources I have at hand. Btw, I’m doing a standing shoot and I’m just an arm length from my phone camera. My green screen is a bit small. It’s 5 ft wide and 6 ft tall. Any suggestions on my scenario? Thanks a lot.
Hi Salma, enjoying your videos, very well planned and thought out. I'm wondering why you emphasise not using a smartphone - just because of video quality or are there settings that will directly affect the ability to chromakey? I use a smartphone to film all my videos in 1080p, but I have an expensive smartphone...
Hi! To be honest my husband is my video editor and I consulted with him on this video. He told me that there's no big rule you can't use a smartphone but that the results would be better with a proper camera. Editing a green screen video might become a nightmare if the footage is shot with a lower quality camera. That said, feel free to experiment! I would love to hear any workaround you might have :) Thank you for the kind comments!
Thanks! Very helpful. Who would you recommend for custom backgrounds? I'm getting ready to shoot learning videos with my subject "Cornbread" doing the speaking.
Hi! Thank you! You mentioned not using a phone to record if you are wanting to do green background- can you explain more of what the negs are with starting with a phone if you don’t have a camera etc?
Hi your video is very helpful..i am facing problem such as body hair type effect coming on the video and also my video and audio is not coordinating (there is a difference of atleast 2-3 seconds difference) in editing... can you help???
I bought a Green Screen and lighting, but it didn't llook good, as you mentioned wrinkles, colouring, etc but after watching your video on this, I'm prepared and confident to try this again. Wish Me Luck!
Hello, I just found your channel and this is the second video of yours that I have watched. Your videos are great. Others may have asked this question but I'm too lazy to look for it, what is the process for a live feed on the green screen? Thanks in advance, Neil
I just created my first video with a green screen. My hair shifted between transparent and purple and a couple of time the image whited out briefly. Thanks for this video. I ordered a better green screen and I’m going to play with my lighting more. Hopefully next time it will be better.
Thank you Salma. I really enjoy your teaching style and presence and your knack for explaining all this in such simple terms (well sort of- chromakey thing I have to go back and understand), So the challenge for me is the lighting and setup as well as the audio- Can't seem to eliminate the shadows despite using a 3-point lighting with light boxes and an uplight for the background. Q: If you are eliminating the green screen background completely, in your editing software why are you ironing and clamping and making sure that there are no wrinkles etc. since you are substituting the color background. Did not understand this part.
Gayathri Shylesh Great question! The answer to ironing out the wrinkles is because wrinkles cause different shades of green, thus making it harder to key out the background cleanly. Having it all one shade of green makes it easier to remove. If you're still getting shadows with 3 point lighting, try adjusting the lights at a greater than 45 degree angle and moving them further away from the green screen. By doing so you'll cause the shadow to be formed outside the frame of your shot. Also try to move further away from the green screen for best results.
Salma am just becoming a huge fan of you and I trust you can give good advice irrespective of affiliate income , please suggest the best camera and the tools for audio making and also all other instrument and software that you use. Will be really greaful. Respond to be Salma please
Kannan Makino Thank you so much for your trust in me :) This video, and it's description, contains all the gear I use as well links on where to buy it from: th-cam.com/video/S3uDn9IW2Ec/w-d-xo.html I should probably start putting this info in each video's description from now on - thanks for the suggestion!
Salma Jafri Media Thanks a lot but do we have to spend this much money to make videos, do there any suggestions from you on making videos on low budget and easy editing software for the poor guys like me , and also I found there is no audio devices you have suggested in the description , please suggest the tool for making audio clear on my videos that would be great full, hope I will get reply from you 😑
Kannan Makino Take another look, there's some free audio devices mentioned such as the earbuds that came with your phone and also a low cost mic ($20). You can use your smartphone to film, so no need to buy a camera. The video starts with $0 spent on gear and equipment and moves up from there to cater to everyone's budget and tastes.
Salma Jafri Media Thank you Soo much Salma am Soo greatful to you. Have seen the tools 😀 your response increased my trust over your brand 200 percent thanks a lot Salma no words 😀
Great video. In near future, I may use green screen in my videos. I have thought about using green screen but I use live subjects in my videos. BTW, I love your hana hand design.
Saro Boghozian Thanks Saro, we were celebrating Eid, hence the henna on my hand :) I think green screen would be a good choice for you, and you can still have your dogs in the foreground with you. Some backdrop ideas might be a dog park or a dog training center. That would add interest!
Where's your phone? Nicely done. Learned more in ten minutes about green screen video then I ever thought I would need. Now I need to give it a try and fail forward learning.
Funnels by The Pointe Excellent catch about the phone Kenna! This was largely an unscripted video (a first for me!) so I didn't have a script on my phone to refer to! 😊
My easy way of editing a green screen video or stream is by using the chroma key filter in OBS and tweaking it to get the best look out of it just like in the premiere pro
Most challenging part is to face the lights. I shot my first greenscreen in 2015, it was a totally DIY setup. Glued some green paper to the wall, placed a couple of bulbs in shoe boxes and got going. Back then I found it very hard to film for more than fifteen minutes with the bulbs blaring in my face. Right now I have a custom made portable background which I bought from Nisbet Rd. Lahore. I've screwed it to the wall. For lighting, I bought a light kit from AliExpress. I'm in a pretty good shape. But, I'm in online courses & I see that a lot of people don't show their faces in this line. I'm trying to build a bunch of courses without showing my face. Trying to get at an advantage point before indulging in fancy stuff :).
Naeem Akram If you can get over the fear, definitely show your face! It helps build trust much faster with your audience, especially in an online course where they can't physically see you. Glad to hear you got your gear sorted :)
I worked on a green screen for a long time before I got it to work. My main problem was getting the background to be smooth, and lighting. I finally got it to work well, but... I sometimes make so many edits because of stuttering, rambling, coughing, vomiting and badger attacks (just kidding, no vomiting or badger attacks) and other things, that I found in editing, in my video software at least, I had to apply the chroma key to each clip even though it was just a continuous speech (an educational video). So I finally scrapped the green screen, which I love, and just do my videos against my bookshelf.
Can you make a photo your background via green screen? Will it blurry? Does it have to be a certain clarity? I'm going to try this; this might be the answer I need right now... Much thanks!
You are Brilliant. Please make some recommend How to make a good video if someone has to give a Tutorial using a white board without a Green screen , like a teacher teaching in actual class room . Many Thanks
The most challenging part is now having known that making videos using a green screen requires a decent camera. Because spending hundreds of dollars on the setup and struggling for four days in a row to make it work and finally understanding that it's about your camcorder kind of sucks. I think every personality making a video about a green screen MUST mention the importance of using at least a semi-professional camera (or an iPhone which captures 4k videos). So, what's your camera?
Nice explanation, Seen your lot of video that helped me a lot, i personally recommend you to re brand your background. Try out without green screen, creat a youtube studio. It's been long time you are using this background. You can continue your purple color as your brand color. Your contents are nice but I think some creativity is missing in your videos (not content vise)..... Real setup will create real consultant image of your personality. You can add some brand elements like:nice backdrop / bookshelf / art elements which shows your personality.... I am randomly suggesting you ...You need to workout on that...I am from india...फिर भी मैं suggest कर रहा हु....Just kidding,😉😉..As a well wisher of your.. suggesting you any way...
The best video on green screen, and colour correction I found on TH-cam...excellent...God Bless.
Great help Salma......and I love that line which you often use...'....you can me the media' ! Very True.
Bundled all great information in single video...thank you....
Great breakdown for using a green screen..had considered it but decided to go with a physical backdrop instead
I've been thinking of doing the opposite. Started with green screen, but eventually want to build a backdrop wall :) Thanks for sharing Herman!
You are having Good Teacher's qualities ,learning lot from your videos. New commers like Me will have good teacher like you , I will follow you and will learn, implement lot of things from you . Thank You Mam
This solves a major obstacle that I had in starting my channel. Now, I see how I can get around not having a pretty place to film. Thank you!!!

welldone Salma! You described it in easy to understandable format for beginners. 1:20 - that was nice example to give great sense of having green/blue screen :)
So good to know! Which type of green screen do you plan on using?
I have blue painted wall and I'm sure the only thing I need is proper lightning, you can have a look: th-cam.com/video/e7SUm5g1mF0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much for your videos! I have a question, will a green background work for me if I have green eyes?
I mean, there is TONS of useful information on your channel. Didn't know you were covering the green screens topic as well.
Haha, yes, because I use green screen myself :)

Nice video learned maximum
Cool!

Yep, just 2. But I do need to upgrade soon!!
I love all your videos!!!
Lmgera Naeava Thank you! Many more videos coming!
Very nice information! Thank you very much for sharing!
Very glad you enjoyed it :) What backdrop would you choose if you could choose anything?
Thank you madam very good explanation and very useful information for beginners
Hello Is it possible to incorporate my own photos and videos as the background using this way? Thank you!
Yep, definitely! Just make sure they are high quality 🙂
Hi your video is very helpful..i am facing problem such as body hair type effect coming on the video and also my video and audio is not coordinating (there is a difference of atleast 2-3 seconds difference) in editing... can you help???
Thank you so much, I learn so much from you, love how you show us how. Thank you so much👍👍👍👍
I'm so glad it was helpful, showing something is the best way to learn in my opinion :) What kind of backdrop would you use in your green screen?
Sorry for the late reply, not sure what im going to use, work in progress. Thanks again
Great effort mam thanks 😊👍
This is a great and amazing video! Thank you so much for teaching me!
Where do you buy your background from?
I bought a Green Screen and lighting, but it didn't llook good, as you mentioned wrinkles, colouring, etc but after watching your video on this, I'm prepared and confident to try this again. Wish Me Luck!
Green screen can be tricky if not done right! Good luck going forward with it
I was trying to figure out how to do this in Premiere Pro and you helped me out with this so much!
Mam can u show us wat video editing software u r using..
So it's entirely possible to light yourself and a green screen with only 2 lights?
Yes
Hello, I just found your channel and this is the second video of yours that I have watched. Your videos are great. Others may have asked this question but I'm too lazy to look for it, what is the process for a live feed on the green screen?

nice

Which software do you use for video editing?
Do you use a blue screen for dark background and a green screen for light background?
Pls show me get those background videos to substitute for the green
Thanks , I find the information resourceful, am in already.
For the standard way of lighting, should all the 5 lights be soft.
Tysm
Thank you so much

Interesting but do you need expensive software to do it?
Girona City Boy You can use most editing software to edit green screen video, such as Camtasia, Filmora, Adobe Premiere etc
I'm currently looking for the background video which my background looks awful.
Any alternative other than the physical green?
Which microphone do you use??
Audio technical, its linked in desvription

Hi Salma, love your channel. Do you have any videos on how to create a good TH-cam channel intro?
I need a video on the TH-cam channel intro too
Where's your phone? Nicely done. Learned more in ten minutes about green screen video then I ever thought I would need. Now I need to give it a try and fail forward learning.
Funnels by The Pointe Excellent catch about the phone Kenna! This was largely an unscripted video (a first for me!) so I didn't have a script on my phone to refer to! 😊
What kinds of background would you experiment with when you start with green screen?
At the moment I don't care. Just want to try different background until something resonates.
What's your biggest challenge with using green screen as a background to your video?
Boa tarde
It’s perfect details about video shooting . Thank you will help b lot
my visual stops when I start the video how do I get both to work together
What software are you using?
Photoshop CC
whe ni go to the clip and go to video settings, the "ultra key" isnt there
My easy way of editing a green screen video or stream is by using the chroma key filter in OBS and tweaking it to get the best look out of it just like in the premiere pro
Sounds very practical! OBS is such an amazing software :) What do you substitute the green with?
Most challenging part is to face the lights.
I shot my first greenscreen in 2015, it was a totally DIY setup. Glued some green paper to the wall, placed a couple of bulbs in shoe boxes and got going. Back then I found it very hard to film for more than fifteen minutes with the bulbs blaring in my face. Right now I have a custom made portable background which I bought from Nisbet Rd. Lahore. I've screwed it to the wall. For lighting, I bought a light kit from AliExpress. I'm in a pretty good shape. But, I'm in online courses & I see that a lot of people don't show their faces in this line. I'm trying to build a bunch of courses without showing my face. Trying to get at an advantage point before indulging in fancy stuff :).
Naeem Akram If you can get over the fear, definitely show your face! It helps build trust much faster with your audience, especially in an online course where they can't physically see you. Glad to hear you got your gear sorted :)
I worked on a green screen for a long time before I got it to work. My main problem was getting the background to be smooth, and lighting. I finally got it to work well, but... I sometimes make so many edits because of stuttering, rambling, coughing, vomiting and badger attacks (just kidding, no vomiting or badger attacks) and other things, that I found in editing, in my video software at least, I had to apply the chroma key to each clip even though it was just a continuous speech (an educational video). So I finally scrapped the green screen, which I love, and just do my videos against my bookshelf.
what's the difference between a built in camera in a smartphone and a normal camera and why would it not work as well on a green screen?
The most challenging part of green screen editing for me is the outline after edit. I mean which background to use to hide the imperfections
how do i get tHAT EDIT
Can you make a photo your background via green screen? Will it blurry? Does it have to be a certain clarity? I'm going to try this; this might be the answer I need right now... Much thanks!
You could, it'd have to be a really large resolution though to not pixelate when printed.
❤️❤️
You are Brilliant.
Please make some recommend How to make a good video if someone has to give a Tutorial using a white board without a Green screen , like a teacher teaching in actual class room . Many Thanks

Looking for a motion backdrop is my hardest part
The most challenging part is now having known that making videos using a green screen requires a decent camera.

It’s not easy to make a video ..
Tell something for beginners, right now who can't afford such big investment.
Will you please ?
May I say that it’s quite disgusting to watch that Amateurs take over the ideas of professional Photographers?
