Green Screen

Post by SwatSnipe »

Okey, i have bought a new greenscreen and i cant get it to work. I have filmed myself on the greenscrenn, removed all of the shadows and i have filmed a background to use. When i put myself on the background with the tool "Green screen" on adobe preimär, i get invisible. Another thing, the green screen always gets a little brighter or a little darker then the background (when i make the greenscreen smaller). My english is cr**, i know! =P

Ok, here are the steps you have to do in premiere:

*Open a new project
*import your green screen footage and background
*Drag your background to the "video 1" layer
*Drag your green screen footage to the "video 2" layer
*right-click on the greenscreen, choose video-options, then choose transparency
*Choose "green screen" as type
*adjust treshold and cutoff if needed
*press ok (duh)

Stilll doesn't work?
send me your footage (if it isn't too big), and i will check why it doesn't work
By the way, where did you buy a greenscreen???

This is what I do in Premiere:

Import the background and green screen file... DUH!

put the green screen video on Video Track 2
and the background video on Video Track 1

right click on the green screen video, then go Video Options>Transparency.

On the menu Key Type, select 'Chroma'. Now a new cursor should appear. on the SMALL image of the green screen, select the shade of green which isn't too dark yet not too bright.

use the sliders to get the desired result.

When you have pressed OK, the background, not the green screen will only show up. Don't worry. Render, and it should be OK, This is what I got (note this was cooked up in 5 minutes, if it was for a movie I would have made it look better):

Also with green screen, I want to have the camera zoom out slightly with a greenscreen shot, but when I do, the background picture stays the same size, Is there a way to fix this?
