How to Chroma Key a Green Screen in CyberLink PowerDirector - TKS HD Season 3

[truckee40]

Thanks I have PowerDirector and I was wondering if I could do green screen keying. Thanks!

[simon44]

I dont say this often. You kid have a natural gift for presenting. You explain all the simple stuff very well and very quickly while keeping to the point and displaying that perfectly also. I cant really fault you.

@GamorReview

Go to lowes and buy workshop lights theyre 10 bucks each and go to joann fabricks and get green cloth its like 20 bucks to cover an 1200 sq. foot wall. its what i did and it works great. get one to hang from above using a ton of ducttape for safety. the whole thingincluding lights fabrick and duct tape costed about 50 bucks or less.

[SplatterMW2]

thanks man ;D really cool, this just made my school project :D

[SplatterMW2]

3:45 thats what he said xD

[BeardedKirklander]

BTW, thanks for the tutorial! It's very helpful to be able to have these on YouTube.

[BeardedKirklander]

I really do wish that PowerDirector (using 9 Ultra 64) had better Chroma Key configuration options. It's really hard to get the right effect unless your background is almost 100% of the same color. Any differences due to lighting intensity not being exactly the same all across the green screen are very hard to adjust for. I have to over-light to help ensure no shadows or even slight differences in the "shade" of green appear. It's very inconvenient. I sure do hope they fix that.

[beeniestudios]

i have powerdirector express, is there are green screen on that?

[JShedgehog]

Does it work in PowerDirector 8?

[techkid4473]

@JShedgehog Sure does! I should be posting a video soon of demonstrating this in PD8 also.

[AlexChaseTv20]

question how come its called green screen cuz i used it just fine without a green screen but waz weired becuz it was like going through me some parts on the green screen

[techkid4473]

@AlexChaseTv20 the term "Chroma Key" removes a certain color from a video, replacing it with nothing, making everything but that color, transparent. In Layman's terms, it take out green and makes it clear.

The term "Green Screen" is used because it is the most universal screen to use, because it is such an odd color. However, if someone clothes are green and they try Chroma Keying, their shirt would also be invisible. If they HAD to use green in the shot, they'd use a different color screen.

[AlexChaseTv20]

@techkid4473 Thanks for clarifying that up for me :)

[68Olympix]

Nice job explaining while showing the feature a couple times. Sure glad you can "chew gum and walk" at the same time! I went through PowerDirector's tutorial site and got frustrated until I found you on YouTube. Thank you so much!

[ReLuvDaReTuche]

:thumbs up: omg, finally i found a vid on what i need. thank you, im going to try this out. But i want to know how did you get your screen video recorder, idk the exact name but to record whatyou are doing at the moment on thescreen.?

[TheAcemaster24]

whats the name of the song in the intro its cool

[techkid4473]

@TheAcemaster24 It's an instrumental version of "I'm on a boat, by The Lonely Island". I personally could care less for the full song, but the synth and stuff in the background is kickass.

[edmundasgiknius]

@TheAcemaster24 its thelonelyisland im on a boat

[Xtremedeltateam]

you saved me tons of time and frustration

thanx

[FYH95]

Someones Plz Answer..!

[techkid4473]

@FYH95 Yea, Easily.

[tongolelelela]

thanks~!

[GamorReview]

We aren't stick figures.. Our background isn't just green, there is shadows and Powerdirector doesn't do the job. I tried, I think there's another step to remove all the shades of green.

[pranaykhanna]

@GamorReview well u should put more lighting to avoid the shadow

[techkid4473]

@GamorReview Sorry, at the time, I didn't have a green screen, so I couldn't demonstrate any further than this.

[HWOMJAW]

@GamorReview same problem here

[MrVaatwastabletje]

[SaiE8]

The chroma key for power director is a little basic, for more detailed Picture in Picture or Video in Video as layers your better of using another program

[V53750]

never mind i guess you just drag the video you want over the clip into the PiP Timeline.

[V53750]

Can the PiP files be videos. So you can put a video over a video?

[95bradders95]

@V53750
