  • So I tried this but my video is still chopped up and green is showing through. It looks really static like. What should I do? I tried to adjust the intensity but that didn't work

  • @ohezgood2me Well it's your lighting that's the issue (i had that at first). Try and light it by having two to four good lights for the ideal setup-two lighting the screen behind you and two dimmer ones lighting you. I have two desk lamps for the ones lighting the screen and my room light lighting me; not perfect, but it works. If it's like a clip you MUST use cos it's really good or you cba to film again try making the whole clip a bit brighter, or more/less contrast, or a tint (fix/enhance)

  • @ohezgood2me It could also be that you have the tollerance set too low-set the intensity level a notch or two higher and try that. also, another tip is to always select the brightest part of the screen with your dabber-that gives me the best results anyway.

    Thanks, TAF

  • I'm hard of hearing.

    Could you transcribe what you're doing in your description?

    I can only understand every 4th word you're saying. :(

  • @mahnarch Yeah, i used a bad mic :L Essentially import your green screen video and background. put the background on track one. put the green screen footage on track two. double click the green screen footage. Tick the box 'apply chroma key'. click on the dabber icon as shown in the video, click on your greenscreen background (or whatever coulour your background is). close the dabber selection window. click ok in the modify window. Done :P

  • do u have to have a greenscreen in order to chnge backgrounds?

  • @cobycracker sort of... You need a background of a single colour different to that of the things in the foreground. You can use a blue, green, red or whatever sheet. If the lighting is dim you could probably even use a white bed sheet :)

see all

  • @TiggerAndFreinds OH! Thank you. I'm going to try this though - I'm going to try it on a blue screen since, that's what I have.

    The tranx was very helpful. Thank you very much.
