- Perfect Green Screen Not Required!
You've often heard that a smooth, no-wrinkle, no-crease, well & evenly lit green screen is a necessity if you don't want to spend hours and hours correcting this in post-production. Well, that's not necessarily true anymore. I'll show you how to use an imperfect green screen with Premiere Pro CC.
Premiere Pro Quick Tips is a set of tutorial videos to help video editors-such as yourself-become more productive and creative when using Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
More of my Premiere Pro Quick Tips videos are here:

Hey, everyone...I'm trying to build up my subscriber base on TH-cam, please subscribe. It's free and I would really appreciate it...and you'll be gifted with more awesome video goodness! ;-)
Thank you so much. I had been suffering for a long time now. This video saved me. Your way of teaching is also very relaxing, to the point, and concise. Thanks
Your tip is useful and informative. The old adage, Garbage in Garbage out doesn't apply so much these days but, with that said, if your green-screen stays hung for daily podcasts or whatever other reason, having a smooth green-screen still helps eliminate a lot of what you're trying to get rid of with this tip. An inexpensive steamer will remove those wrinkles and even though your backdrop may not be evenly lit, it'll be smooth. Placing sandbags, weights, soup cans, whatever on the lower edge of the material will also help pull your backdrop tight making even lighting easier still. Even stretching it tight and using pushpins into the wall can do the trick. These tips will make your technique even more effective.
20 tutorials and this is the only one that has a messy backround and has been the only one i could find to fix it, thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience with GS. Sometimes when we hear how we should have a perfect, wrinkle-free, evenly-lighted green screen, it becomes depressing because no matter how hard we try, we home content creators never quite measure up. Three other things I have found that help: 1) the pedestal effect can really help blacken the background by pushing it up to 80-95 percent, 2) It can really help to have a light over and behind our head which will give our hair definition and not cause us to have a "wavy head," and 3) Strangely, I have found that by reducing the contrast of our video and then applying the ultra key effect, I get a better key. After the ultra key effect is applied I go back and add contrast to my video. This sounds sorta counter-intuitive, but it works for me.
*The guy who taught us about aggressive keying - Thank You, Les.*
5 yrs later and you’re still saving lives lol… you are a godsend brother 🙏🏾
I know you made this years ago but I need you to know how much it is still helping people. During Covid, I decided to start 2 TH-cam channels - I had always wanted to do it. I am completely self-taught in regards to hardware and software I'm using, and this tutorial helped me SO much. Thank you for making this video and I hope you are doing well.
I really wish I'd seen this video before using a greenscreen it would have saved me so much time - thanks for a great and very useful video.
My pleasure. At least you will be able to these techniques in the future.
Literally fuck.. i was so mad for the left overs. It was due to few wrinkles on the green screen. I was about get a new green screen. Then I saw your video. Fuck. Literally fuck..
it is so good to see this, i wish i would have seen earlier. Also, despite highlighting, left over can be erased by increasing contrast, and mid points as well.
This is wonderful!!! You are a star sir!!! Thanks so much!
You are very welcome
Thank you so much...really great tutor and easy to understan..good job.. ilove it love it love it
I come back to this video every few months because I always forget the aggressive step! I do DJ and backgrounds for singers and artist so thank you!
Cool. Thanks!
This is exactly what my projects need, and I like your speak speeding, just perfect to me , not too fast not too slow. Your tone, your words are very clear, easy to understand. Thanks so much, sir! You are amazing!!!
Thank you. Comments like this give me inspiration to do more videos.
I just started working with green screens and found this video. It is great and very helpful. The tips worked perfectly when I used them in Premiere Pro!
Thank you so much, mine was a little pixelated but that's because i need to iron the sheet beforehand
This was an absolute godsend, thank you so so much
Hi! I love your videos! Oh and btw, you don't seem to have a checkmark besides your username when I found your comment in this video. I thought this was a fake account at first lol
Glad it helped!
Halfway through 2021. Couldn't find anything better than this vid from 2017. Perfect job🙌✔
Very simple and great tips!
ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVIOR!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you for your tutorial, its so pleasing to actually be able to understand clearly what you are saying and doing, there are many tutorials on here but most people talk too fast and wiz through it, making it very difficult for the total novice to follow. thank you again
YOU ARE THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD! You save my life!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like any other aspect of video production, good planning using the appropriate tools correctly will provide you with a better final product and less hassles in post production.
Thank you so much I published my first video after hours of trying the traditional method I put it out with imperfections, this method is EASY
Thank you so much! Very helpful. In my case I physically cannot have a perfect green screen. This tutorial solved my problem!
over 3 years since you posted this but "thank you" this improved a group project I am working on ten fold (or more).
@Martin Ask Eriksen: Thanks for you comments. I agree. That's why I say in the video that a perfect screen is not necessarily required. It's all context-sensitive based on what your content is. And yes, this is the use of Ultra Key. For those that are new to Premiere, Adobe bought "Ultra" from a company called, "Serious Magic" quite some time ago. Other Premiere Pro chroma-keying tools include RedGiant's "Key Correct" and PHYX's "Keyer".
I just think your description promises something else than showing a well-known key plugin : )
I guess I was looking for something more advanced when you wrote "Well, that's not necessarily true anymore." - like you`ve discovered something ground-breaking, but you`re showing a plug-in that`s existed since version 5.0.
Still a good video for beginners getting into keying!
This video just accomplished, in minutes, what I had been trying to accomplish, for hours, following other tutorials! Thank you!
GRACIAS. sencillo, sin vueltas, me hice un lio enorme con el after, y tenia todo lo necesario en premier. GRACIAS NUEVAMENTE!
¡De nada!
So far, this is the easiest and most helpful video I found for using green screens on Premiere Pro. It’s so easy and simply to follow. Thanks for this!
Thanks for posting this very clear and concise way to get started with keying!
Thanks!
New TH-camr. Found this very very helpful. Thanks a lot 👍🏾
Used these instructions to remove all the creases from a green screen. Thank you so much. Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Cool tips. we are just beginners and starting out from slide-show to videos. we appreciate all these tips and advice as we have a lot of outdoor stuff and too much wind at the ocean. always some sound issues. this way we can make our short comments and narrations seperately. and your tutorial gives hope, that we can do it with our very limited budget. Thanks Thumbs up
I hope your approach turns out well. Thanks!
Les I appreciate you
Amazing video. You just saved my backside. Very clear useful information. It's amazing how many videos out there cant get to the point.
Thank you! You are the best!!! Very helpful!
This is one of the most helpful videos I've watched (and I've watched a lot at this point)! You saved me a TON of time and hassle. BTW it worked perfectly. THANK YOU!
I'm happy it worked for you!
Thank you SO much for being the rare tutorial that describes every step slowly. My 4th try at a tutorial that is not at break-neck speed. Thank you for the life-saving green screen color solutions! New sub.
Glad it helped!
2 years and you're still saving lives! Thank you so much Sir! You deserve many more subscribers.
Haha! Thank you. My sub count has certainly gone up because of this video.

Thank you. This is a great help. Just bought a green screen and was concerned about the wrinkle.
Thank you! This worked great! I so appreciate the highlight on the mouse. So much easier to follow. You didn't leave anything out. It worked so well right away!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'm just starting out with the use of green screen and I was going LOCA!!!You saved me!!!
This is thus far one of the best tutorial ever seen for green screen tips *****
This was SO helpul. More than any other solutions I've come across. Thank you so much for making this tutorial.
THANK YOU! It's perfect. Aggressive is such an awesome setting- incredible name too
I agree!
Thank you so much! I just got a chair green screen today 'cause I don't have enough room for a big one and this is exactly what I needed
Love how you actually explain things. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Thank you.
You are a great teacher, simple but very effective. Thanks
Thanks so much bro, just came from Davinchi resolve so I have no clue what I am doing. Thanks again
Needed a bit more for my "failed" recording, and even then still a bit of masking, but using aggressive and highlight helped a lot. Always tweaked it manually before, and highlight never did a lot (probably because it's the second one in the list and I never revisited it), but with aggressive already in place highlight actually did quite a bit. Thanks!
You are very welcome.
This is the best green screen tutorial. I have been struggling to find a solution for days. Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found it very useful!
Im still getting a grey/blue background thats slightly visible in front of the background but this video has really helped me
Great tutorial!! It helped me remove all the shades to solid black on the alpha channel and the edge that I had a lot of light spill I learned how to crop out without effecting the main subject. Great presentation!! Thank you - I will keep working on improving how I light the green screen so post production goes smoother each time. Really awesome on this though!! :)
Thank you and happy editing!
you solve my problem..thanks you so muchhh...love from Malaysia
OMG, you're a lifesaver sire, I've spent hours and hours trying to fix my green screen with Lumetri color HSL settings and what not and yet I was not getting usable footage, it was all coming down to have a better lighting solution, especially with my hairs and edges, as they were too jittery, I was so disappointed and was about to quit the idea of me using a green screen for my videos until I fix my lights but damn, found your video and fixed it in 2 mins. Thank you so much man you deserve more subs, please keep on uploading such tutorials, subscribed your channel right away :)

Thank you for the help... I was using the wrong effect Color Key... realized the mistake the moment I saw your video. Thanks again.
You're welcome.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I would love to use Premiere but I only have a 32 bit computer right now so I'm using VSDC Pro until I can build a stronger, 64 bit computer. I'm just now getting back into video after 10 years of health problems. Back in the days when You Tube was just a baby I used Camtasia 3 and Sony Vegas 6 to make Photoshop and Dreamweaver tutorials. HD video is a brand new species to me! :)
Best green screen tutorial I have ever seen!
Thank you, this was very helpful and explained in a way that I could understand. I'm new to the whole green screen thing but plan to use it a lot for my next project. Appreciate you making videos like this!
