 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro 2022 tutorial. This one I'm going to show you how to green screen like a professional and I'm going to do it very very quickly and I'm going to try not to skip any steps so just roll with me let's go. Here's the original footage here on the left side I'll show you and if you look at it you're going to say hey that looks very poorly lit and there's dark spots increases on the on it on the green screen you're right it's very very badly lit and it's deliberately chosen because if you can green screen this then you can screen screen anything really and if you've got a homemade setup and you don't have three-point lighting don't worry about it I'm going to show you how to get around all that stuff so anyways I then screened it here and then just to show you what the final output looks like here I put a red background behind it and there we go so let's just start from scratch so I'm going to delete all of this stuff including all of these other pieces so that you can see how it goes step one to end okay first step bring in your footage like I've done here into the project panel drag and drop it onto the timeline presto the next step is you want to go to your effects panel for me it's right here if you don't see it go to window make sure the check mark beside effects now go to ultra key if you type in ultra you'll see under video effects keying ultra ultra key drag and drop that on there when you do that nothing happens but you want to now head over to your effect controls panel so for me it's over there again if you don't see it make sure there's a check mark beside it okay we're in the effects control panels we're going to go down to ultra key ultra key allows us to do a lot of things but what the big one we want to do first off is adjust the key color it defaults to black which is of no value left click on that and then I'm going to go ahead and left click on this stopper and then now when I drag it you'll see the eyedropper still selected and I'm going to select the green but notice that I'm not selecting a bright green I'm selecting a dark green because it's easier to go ahead and adjust darker colors and it is to adjust properly lit color so we're going to pick a harder color like this green here all right good stuff we're in composite and you can see here that well we got rid of this outside edge but here is obviously not correct so let's just start getting to work here so we're going to drop down the first one which is matte generation and we're going to go ahead and adjust the highlight watch what happens when I adjust the highlight we can adjust it to zero and we get an interesting effect so I'm going to drop down to zero for now and I'm going to increase the transparency let's see where we're at let's increase the transparency to about let's go to about 50 for now you'll see here that it's still got a bit of a background here so we're not where we want to be pedestal is one if we jack that up we want to jack that up to about 32 for this example again we're trying to get rid of the background color but leave her in the shot so let's just scan through it now and we're getting there it's actually pretty close 50 050 50 32 for this one okay good stuff now let's do a check here so I'm currently we're in ultra key the output set to composite I'm going to go ahead and adjust it to alpha channel now take a look here when I scan through it it looks pretty good but you guys have probably seen green screen footage with the sparkly effect in the shoulders and sometimes in the head in the hair well I can guarantee you that's happening because if you look at the composite you see some gray in here with the white so we're going to try and get rid of that so let's go ahead and just start hitting some buttons here so for me I'm going to go ahead and increase the transparency a little bit past 50 so I'm going to go to about okay no we're going to no change that we're going to go to about 37 let's see what this looks like do we see any degree okay nope the pedestal if you're not sure you can always move it up a little bit I like to keep it pretty high just because you might lose a little wisp of hair or two but that doesn't really matter in the long in the long run so let's go back to composite okay let's take a look now hit spacebar okay we've got her in a spot where I'm pretty happy with it this is all these other things here's matte spill and color correction matte and spill suppression are not really necessary in most cases color correction is interesting in this particular shot because she's not very well lit so what I like to do in this one is I'm going to increase the luminance so that she looks like she's been lit from a front facing camera and luminance is for light basically just means how much light is being let in so let's take a look at this okay I like this I'm going to go ahead and export it so I'm going to go to file export media all right good stuff now this is incredibly important do not skip this step you're going to notice that for me it's set to h264 high quality 1080 whatever this is not correct what you want to do is you want to switch down here there's a few different options but the one I like to use as easy as quick time and importantly and this is incredibly important the preset that you select needs to say with alpha so for this one I've got apple pro res 4444 with alpha you need that alpha channel because the alpha channel is the transparency channel so when that's ready to go I'm just going to go ahead and zip this to I don't know let's go set it to movie you want to set it in movie sure we do why not who cares and then hit export good now we're going to run one quick test on it so I'm going to go ahead and grab that video so where did I put it in movies yeah in movies and maybe it's which one is it is this one or that one I think it's this one here bring that one in there we go I'm going to go ahead and put this on a track video track two just to test it again you don't have to do this there's 99.99% chance you did it right but just in case I'm just going to take a look and then for me I'm going to create a color mat and I'm going to make a red one this is this isn't stuff that you need to know how to do I'm just showing you that the effect worked so I'm just going to create the color mat and put it underneath and we're going to test it so here's the output and it looks pretty good guys that's how you that's how you uh green screen terrible footage inside adobe premiere pro 2022 thanks for watching be back soon
