Final Cut 'How to key out green screen"

I did a video on how to key out a green screen using final cut express. I am not a trained pro, i maybe doing it all wrong but it worked for me.

I have a question, I have a horrible green tint when doing this on the object that I want to view so how do I get rid of this tint.

[Stuart Murphy]

You could try under effects, key.. adding a spill suppressor. That should take out the green glow :)

dammit, I was going to add this video to my favs, but I accidentaly clicked on the dislike button >.<

[Stuart Murphy]

lol, thats ok.. I promise i won't cry too much :) :)

[bbbpwns]

so basically you dont need any green screen, just one solid color in the backround???

I AM DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT, BUT IT DOESNT EVEN CHANGE SLIGHTLY WHEN I INITIALLY USE THE DROP. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG????

[ROBINSON MADERA]

Thanks!!!

Yes. the keyword isn't green.. its about CONTRAST between your object and the background.

but I wouldn't recommend black or white if you want to do cut it like shown in the video.

the screen color should not be part of the object, idealerweise.

Hello!

I did not have an access to the green screen, so I had no choice but to do it with a white background. Could I still do the same thing like you did in this video?

Thank you.

[Chris Wright]

This video is over 5 years old and still hugely helpful. Thanks for sharing it.

3:20 "Ok, as you can see, the background image..."

No, I cant see actually! lol

i need a little bit of help. i want to use the green screen effect, but i want it to be on a human. what im trying to do is incorporate the human face onto like a wall so it looks like wall has a face? any help?

[AlfyahBwoy]

yeah, but try not to use strong and usual colors as white, black, blue... the chroma green is a good one!

[Anthony Castro]

so your the reason for that smudge of ketchup on the like bar...

[Daren Seifert]

Yeah I was wondering if I was going to green screen a clip with my chinese water dragons, they're about the same color as a green screen... so could I use black or white?

[Daniel Pereira Torres]

yes, but it can get mixed up with skin tone with any other colors but green or blue.
