Yeah, I can be pretty lazy about the last one, or I don't decide on the backdrop until after I've done the key. Definitely just ups the quality to think about it ahead of time. Thanks for watching Luis!
Yours is the first green screen 'How To' that I have seen where the creator gave concrete info on what NOT to do. It's about time someone did that. Great job at putting together this type of video. I have watched all kinds of green screen videos that talk about all the pros of using green screen. However, no on talks about what kinds of problems you could run into while using a screen. Thanks for sharing.
Doing god's work here! What I liked the most about this tutorial was the information per minute, the pacing and the demo of everything you were telling. Very easy to keep up with the tips! :D Thanks fam!
The last tip is so crucial. I think another thing to add along with the last tip is to look at source lighting in your background. For instance, the beach background with the sun directed behind you would act as a backlight and create glowing edges around the subject (light wrapping). A useful method in getting the right light direction and quality on your keyed-in subject is reference lighting where you find an object within your background and reference its lighting shape and distance from the source light, such as how hard are the shadows. (ie. Do the shadows roll off or do they have a distinct line/cut-off between the exposed side and underexposed side?)
I just bought a green screen off Amazon for only $17.99 shipped to the house and I love the fact that you're suggesting getting stuff from thrift stores like how I've always done my whole life. That's awesome dude and thanks for the ideas so I don't make all those mistakes.
So I definitely wish I watched this video before posting my 4 green screen TH-cam videos! But this video was super helpful and I will use all your tips!! Even the snow.. now that’s a must!
Really good info, especially lighting the subject to match your final background. I'm using DaVinci and it's a learning process. Have only made one solid green screen clip out of about 17 attempts. BIG LEARNING PROCESS.
Tip 5 is what makes the effect work in the end. You can have the most clean separation from the green screen but it will look fake if the lighting doesn’t match your background. Great video!
Use blue it is easier to key and it far more forgiving with less light spill. It really helps with close up shots where the luminosity of green will be hard to key in parts like hair and other hard to key areas however using blue your lighting has to be much more perfect
Good episode. Extra tip... Use a backlight on the subject to lessen bleed-through of green screen on hair. Works like a charm for most situations. Just place a light to the upper right or left of the green screen and point it at the subject. You’ll have to play around with placement and intensity to reach the desired effect.
This was super helpful. I’ve made all the mistakes you mentioned. The one that hit me most was the shutter speed. I’ve never even thought about that one. Thank you 🙏
Yeah, it can be an added work in the process, but if the shot has a lot of motion in it sometimes its the only thing I can do to make it look okay. Thanks for watching!
Cooler Flix Ltd : shure ! At least 100 ms shutter speed BUT in most cases you need extra lights...Yungnuo has some nice little led spots 👉🏼see some vids on my music channel👍🏾
I’m just getting into green screen filming (for miniatures) and this video has the best tips I have found so far, and I’ve watched a lot of videos on it. Well done.
This was really helpful. I solved my issue my reducing my light from the front, as you mentioned, then also increasing a soft light behind. This gave my green screen a flatter and more balanced colour. Thanks for your help!
Damnnnnnnnnnnn You nailed green screen. I wonder how come such a genius has only 42K subs? He deserves more than Million. I hope to see his sub count Million more while my journey goes on with Skyler Thomas. Allah bless you :)
1:50 How is the shadow still there? How is the green behind the shadow removed without the shadow being removed with it? What app are you using here? Also, general question, how do you make the lighting on the green screen even while keeping the natural lighting?
0:39 1. UNEVEN LIGHTING (wrinkles, not even lighting, distance for not casting shadow) 2:05 2. LIGHT FALLOFF 3:03 3. SHUTTER SPEED 3:58 4. GREEN CLOTHES/TATTOOS 4:27 5. MATCHING the BACKGROUND
I have a question. In some shots your green screen didn't cover the whole screen. I'm wondering how were you cover the entire background without having the green screen covering up the whole screen?
The actor stays in the area with the green screen behind them, that means the rest of the area is useless and they crop away everything outside of the green screen
Great tips man! I have the problem of not having enough space in my room so I cant light the green screen evenly enough and give myself distance unless Im shooting only upper torso or headshots.
Also, when the green reflection is falling on your specs. You May be, seeing tree or greenary or reflection of green screen falling on window glass in front of you
Thank you. Great video, very helpful. Minor point, I would do away with the music. I find it intrusive and because you have really good content to share, clear diction and a lively intonation, the music is not only superfluous, but for me, distracting.
I don't think I'll ever need to know any of this, but it was fun to learn it. There is a lot more to doing that well, even in a home setting, than I would have guessed!
I wish I had watched this video last year when I was working on a green screen project for school. The chroma key was all off... In my defense, I had no experience whatsoever with editing or using chroma key and the program I was using didn't help...
I think the best thing to do is just try to be creative in how you set up the green screen and get the shots to make the shots look as good as possible. Having the space and the equipment to make everything look perfect can be pretty tough, so I'd say just do your best for now and over time you'll see the quality on everything get better.
Good info, but the noise, "music" in the background was way too distracting. I should make a video about the top 5 mistakes people make with their AUDIO.
Great video dude ! :) Very informative and useful ! Keep up the good work ! :D You should leave a 20s outro screen at the end, and put an end screen so you can recommend your other videos to viewers rather than them being given a page of random videos usually from other TH-camrs ! :) \o>
@@SkylerThomas No problem ! :) Good Luck ! You might also want to consider doing merch too for your fans :) It'll generate some income to help with providing even more content for your viewers ! :P I'm dropping Merch start of next year on my channel, already got a high demand for it and I'm only on almost 2,700 Subs ! :) \o>
I bodged it for sure. It was primarily a black dress and so I did my best to create an alpha mask and put a black solid behind it. It worked, but I'm never doing that again lol.
I've been in that situation where you can't reshoot, so you just spend countless hours trying to make something acceptable in post. Definitely not a fun situation to be in.
OK I have a couple of green screens. The fabric one that you were showing I found so difficult and a pain to keep steaming and stretching that I opted for an 8 foot green roll of paper green screen. So much easier to work with and when the screen gets old or cruddy I just pull out some more fresh green from the roll. Love the video, great job, keep it short and to the point. Feel free to explain some more of that blend mode you used in Adobe Premiere to make the snow in the scene, that was awesome!
just subscribed. I've watched only two videos so far, but you are so concise and clear. I think it's amazing how much information you convey with so few words.
Thank you so much... I just switched to green screen and it was a nightmare, your tips really helpped. I am a new subscriber and hit the bell so I don't miss any of your videos, you're great!
Thanks for this. Very interesting and helpful. My songs are more important than my films but maybe i can bring the films upt o scratch with this advice. Much appreciated.

Wtf! Don’t sleep!! Do your science presentation xD
@@SlimeBoyYT well, the presentation is over
Felipe Hdez pfft! Ok oops xD
This is actually one of the best green screen videos I've seen. Nobody actually explains the whole shutter speed things
The last tip is the best one. Matching the background is usually what I lack the most and what mostly gives it away. Thanks for the tips!
Yeah, I can be pretty lazy about the last one, or I don't decide on the backdrop until after I've done the key. Definitely just ups the quality to think about it ahead of time. Thanks for watching Luis!

Very nice Skyer - clear and not patronising. Would like to see your lighting setup though.
Awesome video explaining these basics that too often get lost in the storm of creating. Thanks for making it fun and informative.
Finally, there is the ONE video, that really helped me. Nearly. No clue where to get the extension - err - things from.
The shutterspeed one was news to me, I never thought of it! Thank you!
Good episode.

Just place a light to the upper right or left of the green screen and point it at the subject. You’ll have to play around with placement and intensity to reach the desired effect.
Great tip! I've heard even using a subtle magenta gel on the backlight can really help with the bleed as well, though I've never tried it.
Heard that as well, but also never tried it. Hmmm... maybe it’s time I did.

you can adjust it by applying ultrakey and messing with the color matte

0:16 how did you do that editing?
And masking.

Having the space and the equipment to make everything look perfect can be pretty tough, so I'd say just do your best for now and over time you'll see the quality on everything get better.
I used lamps I had at home for my first attempt if that's any help. Tricky to get them evenly lined up but not impossible.
Nice job, direct, easy to follow, not the typical TH-cam self- obsessed tool.

I once was tasked with keying someone wearing a *transparent* dress..... A *TRANSPARENT* dress. Let that sink in.
I can't imagine how to do that successfully.
I bodged it for sure. It was primarily a black dress and so I did my best to create an alpha mask and put a black solid behind it. It worked, but I'm never doing that again lol.
