were did u get your green screen?? please respond

[Bottleshark01]

@chinieboyiphone You can use green paper rolls

By the way, Command Arrow (forward or back) is now only 10 frames, not one second anymore. You may be able to change that in the keyboard settings, but I fell for that mistake as well. Just a little FYI. Good video though.

Great video keep up the good work.

[csataproductions]

Thanks for the tutorial. 

[lizards821]

@JakeLofven1 Of coarse, just us the blade to split the clips, or use the cmd + B shortcut to split the clip at playhead.

Can I key out other colors? 

[lizards821]

@qigong1001 Blue

[albertogaitan]

@lizards821 Just blue? It's not possible to do, say, brown? Thanks for a great tutorial.

@qigong1001 if you use the luma key you can key out a black background

[qigong1001]

@CJandMP Thank you, but my question was about other "colors." Not lack thereof. Thanks though.

[CJandMP]

@qigong1001 you can select it in keying if you hit inspector, then show the keying tab, and click select colors

[ShawnEsplin]

@qigong1001 You can key out any color, just remember that if you key out a color that is also on your subject, like if you have blue eyes or a blue shirt and you use a blue screen, keying out blue will also remove your eyes or shirt. You could fix the eyes, probably with the "Fill Holes" option, but if you have a blue shirt or other large item against a similar blue background, it's probably going to be more trouble than it's worth to try to fix it, so choose your background wisely.

How can you split clips?

[lizards821]

@WatteHackShow use the razor blade tool (the "b" key as the shortcut for it)

[speewave]

@lizards821 use command + B to split at the playhead

[lizards821]

@speewave the razor blade tool provides more freedom when splitting clips. Just splitting the clip at playhead means you have to put the playhead at the point in the timeline where you want to split it.

[speewave]

@lizards821 it depends really... say if i'm nudging the playhead by 4 or 5 clips (the l\r arrow keys) for a Presicion, to-the-frame cut... it's the same as using the blade tool only instead of finding that spot on the timeline...

Thanks for this tip :) But I'm afraid you will be responsible for some really cheesy super amateur video effects from me!
