How to use a Green Screen in Sony Vegas! (all versions)

[articgoneape]

I already have Sony Vegas 11 and a green screen "sheet." What kind of camera do you use for videoing? Thanks!

[qwaffleboy135q2]

Thank you for this!

[ClutchBoyzTV]

instead of a backround can you put like a video for the green screen?

[Twistedchildx]

is there a water mark when ever you try to use green screen in the trial?

[HookahMafia]

lol you deff trying to sound like andrew crammer on videoco-pilot and that deff pro scores in the background music

[claryroberts]

I just bought Sony Vegas 11 and watched this video many times and took copious notes...I don't have your "textures" but wanted to put one of my images as the back ground....got my green screen black...no the image is not showing up behind me (the star of the video)...

[MarioDood10]

Garrgghh! You said (All Versions Of Sony Vegas). You can't mask lower than pro, and you can't mask in outdated versions of pro! Please change the title.

[jamieball]

@tanicc I am having the same problem.. can't seem to find a solution :(

[CorndoggProductions]

I need help! When I put in pure green screen, it shows up as a red instead of green. Please help!

[TheGamesConsole]

Thanks for the editing video but i wasn't looking for this video though how to edit. I wanted to know what kind of green screen u need and is there a cable to connect it to the computer or there's not. Please make a full video how to use green screen from the start to the end. Please I wanna learn it.

[braproductions]

@TheGamesConsole Think about the editing process I used for this video. Obviously there is no connections from the camera or I would have mentioned it. As far as color goes, you can see me pick green out of the color palette inside the effect. Just by seeing that you should know that you can pick whatever color you want to key out. Watch before you comment.

[skyboyHD]

does it have to be gren ???

[SmibsProductions]

@skyboyHD it can be any color:) but green works best because it is bright and shows up well

[ElloPeta]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! I COULD NOT FIGURE THIS OUT BUT I DID IT YOUR WAY AND IT NTURNED OUT PERFECT!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

[Xstarrygalaxynitedog]

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much I was flipping out because I didnt put the video overlay UNDER the video and I was bugging my mom to get this for quite a while So thanks THAT DESERVES A SUBSCRIBE :D

[dragonicmight]

how do you mask it wont do it for me

[dragonicmight]

the picture that i use is in the back of my video not as the background so i cant see it help if you truly are a guide guru

[zombiekiller4564]

Thanks man i just got my editing program so I'm still learning how to use it

[yma3591]

does a white screen work?

[flaminpineapples]

Does this work with Sony Vegas movie studio HD platinum

[RedSonicBlitz]

thanks this helped me so much!

[spayrou]

Oh thank you so muuuuuuch !! I know now how we can use this fuckin green screen ! Aahaha you make me laugh so hard at 0:39 !

[MacaronifaceCP]

someone plz help, what picture file does sony vegas take like png,jpeg, etc.?

[Rustyy444]

is it possible to do this if the picture/video doesnt already have a green backround? because i want to edit a clip from a movie which obviously wont have a green background. ive seen videos where people have done it, so can u tell me how if u know?

[WEBCAMMAXFRAEK90]

do u need a real green screen



[WEBCAMMAXFRAEK90]

masking to the rescue?

[hypnosiscenternyc]

Great video as always. Brief and all the fat cut out.

[toomyg155]

just wondering does the back drop have to be GREEN?

[MacaronifaceCP]

@toomyg155 it could be red, blue, pure blue, and thats it

[SuomiDatis]

When you put that picture back, so will it works in any image?

[WunderWaflle29]

Can you chroma key any picture/video behind it?

[3AAAProductions]

Thanks very much BraProductions!

[sk8er065]

ok anyone who is having problems with bringing your image as the background, dont use the pure green scree, just use the normal green screen chroma key

[tanicc]

@sk8er065 tried just green scree fx, did not help?????

[geograndsand]

DUDE! How did you make your beginning sig thing? Did you use vegas? If so TEACH ME!

[kenricsims]

Hey love your entire Tutorials they really help me a lot in my work, but there is some stuff that I really need some help on in Sony Vegas pro can you please help by making a tutorial? First I would like to know how to divide live videos. Second thing that I would to know is how to create the screen notes or screen info like the one HBO Boxing displayed I believe it was the 3rd episode between Pacman and Marquez. And the 3rd is the bottom line that is display on ESPN. kenricsims_11@yahoo.com

[SadyetHappy]

i just wanna say... i love u:)

[Melanniegtv]

Why do all take a green screen, why not blue? :(

[priyankgohil]

Get Windows seven Bruv . Xp's Shit (N)

[TheSimsMusicCo]

@priyankgohil XP's classic, Plus most software is compatible with it. Anyway, Why should you care what OS is used making a video?

[priyankgohil]

@TheSimsMusicCo Yeah i know about the compatibility of softwares. But its just i hate the visuals in xp. Like no glassy effects or Aero effect. Probably Applyin a theme wud've mae it look good :D no offense :D

[LawrencePpromotions]

SOMETIMES THE LITTLEST THINGS MAKE A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE VIDEOS..KEEP REVEALING THE MAGIC GUYS...

[AwesomeForceChannel]

Love the vids. hope you like our vids, its all on green screen too.

[DRstaszak]

great video! really helped. give yourself a pat on the back

[SophiePetShopLover]

awsome i dont have a green screen but i have a green wall lol would that work too??

[robertdevald]

Okay, since the dear maker of the video didn't reply, I started searching and I found a solution for the people who only have a black screen without the picture appearing.

Right click any of your video images, select the option "Select events to end" and THEN drag the chroma key effect on to your footage.

It helped my problem but I work with pictures for my lyrics videos, so I'm not sure if it works with video footage as well.

[UndeadOutbreak]

Thumps up for the rediculous green screen act.

[GabrielRECON]

haha nice video.

[Supersam1342]

My background doesn't show up. Please help ._.

[MrMikraus]

Great teaching! And thanks for this! :)

[mizDevine]

can we use green posters? or a green cloth?

[Ikn0wCF]

@mizDevine yep

[I00PercentFresh]

so i am havig trouble. i did what you said to do, but wheni was done making it all black and white i put it into the timeline and nothing happened. i messed around with it a bit and all that happened was the clip i need to replace the greenscreen with is inside the subject insteadof in the background. help!

[sugarbaby391]

what do i do if my explorer tab doesnt have all the effects

[McQueenMax]

Where did you get your green screen?

[XbEaN1Ex]

haha that clip was hilarious :P

[paulrevere1010]

lets say you took some footage of yourself infront of the green screen, and after you chroma key it can you then go into event pan/crop and shrink the video of yourself into the background and have it match? i hope i explained it well enough, can anyone help?

[NinjasOfMineCraft]

0:37

[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

[memokk]

[mrbizzy]

jesus that music at 7:15 scared the shit out of me. I though it was coming from my TV early in the morning XD

[Townofaseri]

Hey! Have a stupid question! Well I'm working with blue screen and I would like to know how I can save other blue items from keying?? If you get what I ment :)

[GeraldBLazy]

@Townofaseri You can't, because the technology takes all blue or greens and mashes them, which is why you'll never see somebody using a green or blue screen, with a green or blue shirt on

[battingbacon1]

The pic i but under the video with greenscreen will not be showen its only a black sreen pleas help :C

[MrSap97]

@battingbacon1 try change the compositing mode on the pic over to add

[TryHardProductions1]

[DWho42]

if you're talking about the masking, set it to negative, you may have had it on positive, hope this helps :)

[MexicanAxeMurderer]

[hockyhampe]

[harringtonalexa]

Please help me, I have three days left for a chool project and need to do some green screening, but when I put the picture under the footage like you say, the picture appears under behind the footage, please help i don't have much time left!

[thinker6236]

the reason they use green or blue screen is because thats the only two colours which are the furthest to our skin tone. so when they eliminate particular colour, say green , then only green will be removed in the video. since we dont have green in our skin tone, it will not remove anything from the actor. another example, if u use white screen and ur skin is white toned, during the elimination, the program will cause holes in parts of ur body that is white. So use green

[MisterMarmatote]

@thinker6236 what if you have radiation poising huh? or maybe your of the third kind? racist.. lol

[thinker6236]

@MisterMarmatote alright you cought me.lol

[sgtm1775]

@thinker6236 Try mixing up airbrush paint for skin tone.. there's most definitely blue in it.

[leadershipcouncil]

you are so funny and awesome! by the way, can you show us how you did your intro? It's really cool to be able to rotate text and extend their tails. keep up the great work

[IIVSNIPEVII]

THANKS

[ILuvBritLouTayTay]

If I get Sony Vegas it'll take me a long time to learn to edit with it haha.

Does SV work with HD files? currently I have an HD camera and use Windows movie maker so then my videos aren't in HD if I edit them.

Also, where can I get a green screen? can I make one?

[blackdecaymusic]

@ILuvBritLouTayTay yes it works, its professional. Movie Maker is a Piece of Fucking Bullshit. Yes it works with HD. ITS USED FOR FILM EDITING! You can buy a green screen at ebay.com.

[ILuvBritLouTayTay]

@blackdecaymusic lol um thanks

[SMG4LIFE01]
