You have literally made streaming less stressful and more entertaining by making all these neat tools "accessible" for the layman, me included. 💜 I really don't know how to thank you enough!!
OMG, I watched this yesterday and have been playing around with this tips since yesterday and got some cool tricks for my live-streaming. Thanks a lot Scott!
Here's a couple tips to help the chroma key issue. -Move away from the screen. This helps with that green light spill. I never stand closer than 6 feet. -Light the screen evenly. You can use a couple 4' shoplights with diffusion fabric or parchment paper and it works wonders -Tighten that screen up to get rid of wrinkles. Just some of the things I have learned through trial and error.
@@ScottFichterChris, well said. This is what studios like Lifetouch do for there underclass when using Chroma for various background options. There system though is only 4-5 ft from the background, but yes even lighting is a big deal. When setting their camera's up they use a program that will fire off the lights, and then read the image of the backdrop for balance. The system will automatically adjust the light power as needed to get to a proper balance and level. I think they use 3-4 lights, 2 of which light subject and background. After that they can photograph all day and in post production it significantly reduces the potential of the selected background image not being dropped in cleanly.
Just want to point out a minor detail that in your past video, the recommended quality was "least" while on this video you placed it on "best"... Still, your work is Great! I learned new ways of making transitions on DR.
In order not to have the color contamination with the chroma key, you have to use the green (blue or other) correctly: be at a distance that does not reflect on the subject, light the background well and evenly and, mainly, shoot with a camera that works with 10 bits of color.
@@ScottFichter Take a look at the manual. Several are. This makes it easier for the software to separate the colors. It gets harder with the 8-bit color ones. But be sure to experiment with the other factors: good distance and even background lighting.
Thank you! This video was super helpful! I also used Shutter Encoder to convert the MOV file to a webm file (with alpha) to reduce the file size from 200MB to 3MB! Maybe this information could be helpful for someone else.
your videos are fantastic, I just found them and watched loads of them - and I don't ever even stream things - I'm just interested in the videonics and HOW people do it. the videos are super-engaging and I love how you both talk energetically to the camera and also have good editing after the fact demonstrating what you are talking about
Hi Luis, I've been wanting to purchase a Mac mini. I've been on the fence on buying one because some folks say they suck with editors and other say they are fantastic. At the moment I don't have a mac so I'm in a bit of a holding patter on Mac tutorials. Don't give up on me they are coming.
Great video!!! Thanks! If you use a maroon backlight (from the top-45 degrees behind you head), the green spill can be controlled. It's called 'minus green' for a reason . Also as mentioned in other comments, try to use separate lighting for the green screen and sit as far away from green screen as space allows.
That's my problem my screen is 8 feet away. Back splash is a problem but when used on my blue green background it fine so I can live with it for now. Minus green.... cool. I will look into that.
@@ScottFichter From a photography perspective, 8 feet shouldn't have any back splash of color if light settings are right. one recommendation I would have is to try putting in a hairlight. Low level would provide separation from the background and provide highlights on the shoulders and hair. This would also reduce the potential green back splash. If you have a photographer friend in the area, they could probably show you what I am talking about before spending the money to do trial and error. I too will have to look up minus green as I have never heard of it.
Another great video. I’m always learning something of value. I have used DaVinci in the past but the 17 update keeps crashing. Did you have any issues with that?
Philippe, wow this software is very interesting. I see that you can export as WEBM using vp8. Can you also export with alpha channel? If yes this software is a full on winner!
@@ScottFichter Yes, I made a down right animated webm frame with Kdenlive for my webcam, when I steram my desktop ruclips.net/video/rGvts2XxCSE/видео.html
:12 best hook ever hah I hate that fuzzy green around the edge I don't even attempt green screen usually. 10:06 nice Fusion transitions :-D didn't know about those. Thx for the awesome vid :)
Nice tutorial but cpu usage is high in obs with gopro cineform codec. The file size is aIso not very optimized. I ended up converting it in vp9(.webm) in a software called ShutterEncoder with "alpha channel enabled" in the advanced tab of the output.
Hey Micheal, Gord speaks very highly of you man. Your game show is fantastic! This is the camera I use is the Sony FDR-AX53 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder in conjunction with the CAMLINK.

You mentioned about the green halo when using a green screen. What if I want that to disappear when I use a fixed picture background instead of a video? Sorry if its a stupid question. Beginner here. Thanks
One way of hiding it is using a photo that has some green in it. Have you noticed that when my head and shoulders is superimposed over my office that you don't see the line. The halo is hidden in the photo. That will help. If your in OBS Studio you'll have to adjust the chroma key filter. Damn, that makes me think of that video where a dude was using two filters. The end result was a perfect transparency.
legit I have now made the clip only 30 miliseconds long and the stinger is still 3 seconds long......HOW. Everything else works fine even during the transition. I even added it as a media source to test without transition. HOW
Please assist me. I downloaded OBS apps, but my laptop computer misbehaved, i don't know why, so i removed it. I'm a teacher and i wanted my live stream better.
We miss you Scotty, let’s get some. Please publish obs tech again
I love how you took the 'show, don't tell' edict and turned the dial to 11 for the first minute. I was giggling and clapping along. Hat top, sir.
