Steven, I have to say all your tutorials hopefully helping people to achieve that pro green screen production are extremely clear & easy to understand. Including information most newbie have no clue about. Solutions they absolutely need to know about including steps in the video editing software. but wait! The video doesn't stop or slow down & it's kept interesting by well, you know who. Awesome shit dude, Thanks
Thank You! I don't know the terms are to call it when I see things like this. I usually like to look into fixing them, but find it hard looking for the answer without the proper keyword or words and now I know what to look for.
Your presentations are top notch - recommend: 'Give just enough detail to prove what you are talking about but not so much detail that you bore/overwhelm them.'
Nice tips! Another tool is using rgb leds green or blue to light the screen. Takes care of color discrepancies. And use false color tool, or rgb parade to check the screen ire and color levels. The most effective is zone lightning. Keeping at least 2 to 3 meters away from background to avoid spill.
I've had great results using your tips to rescue a video that needed leaves on the trees to complete. It can be frustrating filming over the course of time but the green screen has solved this for me.
I've had some success backlighting with with Magenta, mostly just around the head. Any green light bouncing back at the subject has the magenta mix with it to make White, or close enough to mitigate hair catching the green for the matte.
Anyone know if there are settings for an Android phone that are more conducive to green screen? Just upping the resolution, for instance? A nice DSLR is not in my budget yet.
I don’t think so. Spill is a function of proximity and intensity. You can only be in one spot at a time. You just want the light as even as possible, then balance exposure of subject and background.
I keep coming back to your videos to watch them again and again as they are so much more informative than most others - Thanks! Question: If I should avoid MP4 Wrapper format, what Low-Compression CODEC format should I be looking for in a new camera? Thanks again.
@@rexhardy1703 ProRes 422 is very good. In any case, it's what I use daily. And it's not lossy like MP4. And if you really want to go crazy, get a camera with ProRes 422 HQ!
I have not, but friends have and have found it beneficial when it wasn't reflecting excessively. That's why I like the sort of felt-like texture for small rooms. Less reflection back to the subject. Hope that helps!
What do you think about the possibility of doing green screen live streaming with something like OBS. Is it going to be possible to get a realistic result?
Hi Steven, thank you so much for another great video upon Chroma Key technique! Again I took notes in order to convert all your hints into a working green screen system at home and that really helps a lot. :-) One question: Is there a good source for the living room backgrounds you are compositing yourself in post? I'm still searching for these kinds of backgrounds. Thank you!
Thanks Steven. I believe I am experiencing the green fringe due to cam settings. I have good lighting, distance from green screen, but still too much fringe. What settings should I use as a starting place for a Sony a5100? And thank you!
Thanks for sharing helpful information. I have a question regarding blur, I can seem to get a reasonable key, but the fast moving hands causes blur which I can not get rid of the blue outline from blurred motion. I've tried different frame rates and shutter speed, but still nothing seems to work. I feel maybe its the camera Im using which is a Canon M50? Im aware that is very basic camera, but would it be causing me a lot of issues with Chroma Key. Btw Im using Blue screen on my videos. Thanks
Blur is caused by motion faster than the frame rate can keep it resolved. When you're trying to remove pixels at the same time, it further overwhelms the process. If you have a lot of faster motion, then you'll need a greater frame rate AND you'll likely need to shoot with a camera that offers 4:2:2 color space. Why? Because that gives you double the color pixels, thus more pixels closer to your outline, thus a greatly increased chance that movement UNDER 60 frames per second will be accompanied by pristine footage without the green outline. And movement above 60 fps will have much fewer green artifacts.
@@StevenWasher thanks, I appreciate your help & advise. I think I will need to upgrade my camera next as the Canon M50 is very basic and entry level. Looking at the LUMIX GH5s. What lens would you recommend for that camera for blue screen? The shot I will be using it for is fairly close up, half body frame like a news caster. Thanks again 🙏🏻
Vegas hasn't been owned by Sony for years. It's Magix Vegas now. Also, while many cameras will record a 100 megaBIT file, very few will record 100 megaBYTES. Other than this, good info.
Just to be pedantic, your super and associated verbiage should be 100Mbps, not 100MBps. Recording formats are most commonly measured in megabits, not megabytes. :)
Great to see some new content from you - Good stuff, as always.

This is fantastic!!! A Green Screen series! Love it!

cant get rid of the halo in power director 19. might try obs

How do you do this on Sony Vegas?
thank you! i put a green screen unevenly - just because i didn't know i need to tighten it :(
your video helped to fix the consequences!
"...perfect right out of the box, just like every moment of life." Funny guy, 😂
Thank you for this video! @4:25. The Huwaki filter? What's the correct spelling of that & how do we find it?
I've just revised the Ultimate Green Screen Guide. Click on it in the description for all the new recommendations. Thanks!
Anyone know if there are settings for an Android phone that are more conducive to green screen? Just upping the resolution, for instance? A nice DSLR is not in my budget yet.
This was so informative, thankyou!
de nada! :)
Hey Steven! thanks for your videos. If the green screen is bigger, on needs more light and also it there more spill that can happen and bounce back?
I don’t think so. Spill is a function of proximity and intensity. You can only be in one spot at a time. You just want the light as even as possible, then balance exposure of subject and background.

I suspect H.264 Lossless?

Hi, have you worked with Green screen paint, and if so would you recommend it? Many thanks Dave 👌
I have not, but friends have and have found it beneficial when it wasn't reflecting excessively. That's why I like the sort of felt-like texture for small rooms. Less reflection back to the subject. Hope that helps!
@@StevenWasher thank you for your reply very helpful videos 👌
What do you think about the possibility of doing green screen live streaming with something like OBS. Is it going to be possible to get a realistic result?
I think so. I'm testing out a new green screen solution just for that. Stay tuned...
Thanks Steve

great question...i have the same camera..
That's a really tough question to answer in the absence of about 25 other unknown factors. So I'll cover it in the webinar.
