Jay Cut Tutorial -Utilizing Green Screen / Chroma Key features

I used Jing to record a video tutorial for my students so that they could replace the background of their scenes using Jay Cut's Chroma Key special effect. By recording an actor against a green screen (which could be just a piece of green paper), students can utilize Jay Cut's Chroma Key selector and change the background of the green into an image or the background of another video clip

it keeps covering most of me! i dont get it im not wearing any green plz help someone and my green screen is totally fine only a couple wrinkles

@fantagefreaks1011 I have found that making sure that you have the best overall lighting will also effect your shot and it will make you disappear. Make sure you use the color selector to pick the shade of green that you see most on your green screen. Then, in the adjustment for effects window of Jaycut, you can adjust the intensity slider. You will have to experiment with the number that fits your needs, I try to keep it around 10-20. Hope it helps!

how do you know if they are the same dimentions?

[jgorcesky]

@webgirls801 I believe 640x480 is the standard video dimension through my Flip cam. See if perhaps you can create a still image in Photoshop or GIMP in those same dimensions. OR save yourself the heart ache and just use another video clip in the background
