 Hell yeah, what's up guys this cruise pipe my friends call me big see I'm back in action today I'm gonna show you the green screen like a pro and not only that we're gonna green screen some video I'm gonna show you how to do it using free footage and free software and free Everything guys a lot of people are getting started in YouTube look scary right? How do you make these cool videos? It looks so hard. It must be so hard. It's not I'm gonna show you how to do it in like three or four minutes Using only free tools. This is the footage. I selected it is awful and it is deliberately awful This is a lady that's very poorly lit in front of a chalkboard for all intents and purposes That's got stuff all over it. It doesn't look right at all I've selected the hardest the ugliest the most difficult footage on purpose because if you can green screen this using free tools You can green screen literally anything so here is what proper footage should look like here's a video of a lady A nice looking lady just doing whatever the heck in front of a properly that green screen Easy very easy to to fix this not so much not to worry Let's go to hit film express and see what the end result looks like Left-click clicking right here and presto. You'll see here that I've got that lady Talking from in front of that green front of that chalkboard Lit and talking in front of an image of the Eiffel Tower just about just about a perfect green screen So let's go ahead and start from scratch and let me show you how I did it All right I'm gonna delete all that footage and we're gonna start from zero the first step is you want to take the footage Which is that ugly green screen footage and I mean the footage is ugly not the ladies ugly She's very pretty left-click on it drag it into video track one just like this if it's your first time it'll say Yeah, do you want to change the settings? Make sure you click on yes You want your settings to be equal to the green screen footage in almost every instance, okay? Good stuff now. We're gonna take this image We're gonna take this video Pardon me, and we're gonna move it to track 2 or video 2 But here's the thing There's a good chance that you don't see video 2 or you only see video 1 Because you want to basically move this little line here so that you get more video and you can also adjust this here So that you get more screen on the video tracks depending on the size of your monitor and how it's set up So just make sure that you can see video track 1 and video track 2 take video track 1 And just left-click and move it up. You just basically move it and there we go. It's on video track 2 Alright, we are on our way Now the next step is I'm gonna go ahead and grab the image that I'm using I'm using just a stock image, but you can use a background video a background image, whatever I'm just gonna go ahead and select this and move it to video track 1 and Presto there we go. You'll see nothing of course First step is you want to make sure that these two are the same length So I'm just gonna just go ahead and slide that out You just grab the edge and move it so that the track 1 and track 2 the video and the image or the video and the Other video are the same length now. Let's go ahead and start making some changes I'm gonna go ahead and click on video 2 make sure you click on the video And now it's time to start adding in the effects the first effect that you want is color difference key It's under keying color difference Cree if you don't see it just type it in here color Difference and hit enter and there you go. There you see it. It's under keying left click on it Drag and drop it onto video track 2. I missed it. There we go And now when you I do that you'll see that the background is sort of starting to peek through So we're on to something. Okay. Good enough now What you want to do now is you want to go down to the controls So we're under control. So we've added the effect and now we're in the controls panel But we're under effects and you're gonna see here green screen color Make sure it's selected to green unless you happen to have a blue screen and then change it to blue Now we have a couple of Values that we can dial in the most important one is the min value It starts at point six five and as you can see in this one because it's so poorly lit We got to jack this up. So we're going to move this all the way up to point Nine eight in this instance and for some of you that might be just good enough right there It's not perfect because when I hit spacebar, you'll see a little bit of sparkling in her dress Which means that we don't have a perfect Chroma key or green screen, but we're very very close For this one, I'm going to go ahead and take down the max to point nine eight as well Oops see how this is kind of tricky though because at point nine seven it's toast But if I go to point nine eight watch this and this is a fault of the software I believe it's not this isn't as good as the adobe stuff if I'm being honest But this is free software and it won't cost you a penny. So there's that which is kind of beneficial point nine eight works Point nine seven was a mess anyways. Let's go ahead and hit spacebar And we're very very close to having a good chroma key or a good green screen key It's actually really really close actually I'm going to just up the gamma a little bit so that it's a little bit brighter And I'm going to up it to about one point two There we go. And now let's take a look at what we got Ah, no a bit too much. So let's go back to one. Let's go back to about one wherever it was one point I'll go back to one. Yeah, let's go back to one Hit spacebar. This is an excellent chroma key or color difference key in this case Now you're going to notice that the background the Eiffel tower isn't quite the right size So I'm going to go ahead and click on video track one, which is my image And then I'm going to scroll out a little bit so you can see here So I've just zoomed out and I'm going to go ahead and increase the size of this image And I'm going to reposition it down. No wrong one. I'm going to reposition her here And then I'm going to reposition the image going to click back on the image I'm going to move the image to the left and down a little bit something like that. What do you think? I mean, again, this doesn't really matter too much. It's just the effect that I'm trying to show you But let's go with something like that. Okay, there she is. She's right in front of the greens right in front of the Eiffel tower She's fully green skin. I'm going to go back to zoomed into 100 percent here That may be a bit much and let's go to fit to screen actually because that's better Scale to fit and I hit spacebar and presto. We've got the lady She's talking in front of the Eiffel tower It'd be very hard for you to know that this was green screen if you weren't looking for it Also, if you want to go one step further, you'll notice that the lady here when we click on her footage Like if I double click on it, she's very poorly lit So you can actually go ahead and if you're if you're filming at home and it's not lit the way you want it You can type in auto And then you're going to see something called auto color under color correction You can just drag and drop that on top of the green screen footage And it makes her a little bit brighter and that looks like she's been lit a little better This isn't a requirement, but it doesn't hurt And if you don't like it if it's too much brightness, you can go ahead and just change the blend with the original So you're just changing how much blend there is So if you look at the this footage and then you look at this footage It looks a little bit more like she was lit properly. This is an additional step. You don't have to do it But that's it guys. That's how you green screen for free using free tools like a champion That's it And we took some of the hardest, ugliest green screen footage on the planet Well, not on the planet, but that I could find and we made it pretty Thanks for watching guys. Time for stuff coming up. Stay tuned. Be back soon
