- Your green screen camera settings are wrong! Why? Because mine were too, despite shooting green screen for years. In this video, I will tell you my NEW secrets I discovered by doing several days of testing. And it is not just about aperture and shutter speed. There are a few tricks that you can use to get a much more even green screen background by just changing camera settings. Let me know if they helped you get better green screen results too.

I already wrote a comment on the green screen setup video, but here I go again: thanks SO much for the great content you’re offering. I’ve been working on my little studio following a lot of your advices and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. Thanks again and you deserve a lot of success on RUclips! Wishing you the best.
Awesome! Great to hear the tips work out in real life 👌. Thank you for your feedback 🤗🤗
Hi Wolf,
I thought of leaving words of appreciation for you.
As someone who does photography out of passion, I stumbled upon your videos. Your videos, coupled with your maturity, are a treat to watch. I understand the effort and dedication that go into producing each of your videos, therefore, I wanted to show my appreciation for you and your work in photography. Photography is not about gimmicks (expensive, large inventory of equipment, photo manipulation, editing applications, AI etc.), but it's about how telling beautiful stories with less, which is evident in your work. Keep up your great work and continue delighting your viewers with your journey in photography! 📸 🌅 🙏🏼
In a related note, not every person is blessed to have a spouse (partner) who supports and be a part of one's passion. You are blessed with a lovely partner and a gift of love. May the Lord bless you both in your lovely journey together! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much! Your message gave me goose bumps. Yes, I'm definitely blessed with my wife. And also thank you for the rest of your words. Very much appreciated!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Your typography is on point too, I love your font choices, and also your use of the rule of thirds. Liked and subbed.
Thanks again. I really appreciate your support, Henry!
Great video, Wolf! I love the way you explain everything clearly with simple examples. Your content is very helpful. Thank you!
Great to hear that, thank you 🙏🤗
thanks for sharing the details!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🙏. If you’re interested, this is a part of a series of green screen videos 🙏
Your teaching ability and presentation are phenomenal. Thank you !!!
Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗
Extremely well done video, thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
So well presented, really helpful, thank you
Thank you!!!
Hi Wolf! LOVING your videos!!! One question - how are you avoiding green spill in the reflection on your glasses? I've just started wearing them and have a really small space to shoot in and I'm picking up some reflection bouncing onto the specs. Many thanks!
Thank you! Do you mean on the sides on the temples? In the front you shouldn’t get green reflections, because the screen is behind you. But I do get reflections in the glasses from the lights. Whether you can avoid them really depends more whether they are concave or convex rather than the placement of the light.
Your channel is rather unique. Keep it up you helped so much with all your videos
Thank you so much🤗🙏
Gracias. Me ha sido muy útil su explicación.
Gracias🤗🤗. So great to hear that.
Damn man, just found your channel and I love it! Hopefully you will be back to recording and you are fine. Can't imagine amount of editing you put to those videos, but quality and everything? its beautiful!
Thank you so much 🤗🤗. I am constantly recording and want to publish a complete RUclips course some time next year 😉.
you are great, thank you
Thank you 🤗🤗
Best video about green screen. Thanks.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Great video keep creating 📸
Thank you 🤗🤗
I really appreciate your tutorials about greenscreens! This earned all the thumbs ups and subscribe I have to offer :P I have a question about setting a stage - I often see tape markers on green screens used by film makers, do you know what they are used for? Are there other types of markers that are used on a green screen set?
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 These are tracking markers that help getting the angles right for e.g. the background. I hope that helps 😉
Amazing!
Thank you 🙏🤗🙏
Great videos thank you Wolf.. A very popular combination for streamers and Zoomers, is the Sony ZVe10 with Sigma 16 mm 1.4 in a small room, sitting at a desk (not standing). I have that, and the green screen is about 600 mm behind me. My camera lens is about 800 mm in front of me. I think a video looking at lighting optins (for green screen and subject) and camera settings would be very popular. The other issue is for presenters wearing glasses, wanting to avoid or minimise reflections of lights. Just ideas. My ISO was set to 500 but will try 800. Many thanks.
Thank you, Jamie. Much appreciated tips and feedback.
Regarding the glasses: that depends much more on the glasses (coated vs not coated & convex vs concave) than on the actual lighting setup. I long planned to create a video about that in general, but companies are hard to work with here - I was hoping to get the very same frame with different coatings and glasses, yet none of them would want to do it. But that's the only thing you can really compare - if you have the same glasses.
Regarding your ISO: that really depends on the amount of light you have - more (or closer) lights, less ISO. So yours might be just perfect.
Great video. Wish I had this to watch years ago.
Thank you! 😂 Yes, learning has become a lot easier, right? 😂
It was a very good video and I enjoyed it. good luck
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🤗
WOW SUCH INSIGHT IN JUST THE FIRST MINUTE!
Thank you 🤗🙏
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Jasper 🤗🤗🤗
A great follow up on this series would be filming on an iPhone pro/max… I have Blackmagic and Sony cameras but given the ProRes abilities at 422/10bit it would be an interesting comparison. Thanks for such great content!
Thank you, Mark. I agree, that would be interesting, but personally I’m not doing much on my iPhone, so I would have to educate myself a bit. 😬
Great video Wolf! Would you have any recommendations on how to align background photos with green screen footage during the shoot (before editing)? Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🤗. Not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean how to shoot the green screen footage when you already know the background you will put it on?
Thank you very much, super top, I have a question, can I use a shutter speed of 1/100 or 1/120 even when recording at 30 FPS? my sony a6400 camera does not have 60 fps in 4k!
Hi Marcelo! Yes, you can. Just do some tests to make sure the lights you use don't flicker at the shutter speed you are using.
Wow.. i just stubbled on your channel to lean about green screen.. the way you educate.. makes a person with ADHD,like me still understand clearly... so good!!! anyway.. to my question.. i heard somewhere that 10bit camera is much better for green screen than.. a 8bit camera... but i was thinking of getting the zv-e10ii for my green screen work.. but the zv-e10ii only shoots in 8bit... does the 10 bit make a noticeable difference, on the corners of the subject. thank you in advance.. love your channel.. will browse more videos here for now..
Thank you, Brian. That’s why I create so few videos. I want to make people understand and often I feel, „nahhhhh, still not well enough explained“ 😂.
Regarding 8bit and 10 bit. Tbh, I always shoot 8bit even though my latest cameras support 10bit. It works for my workflow and the one I explain in my videos, so I don’t bother for the higher amount of data and the bigger chance of the camera overheating 😉.
@@wolfamri❤ thank you much for your response
Thank you for the great Video! When switching to APS-C mode, where in the menu do i find Lens correction and make it active?
i don't own the Sony A7iv. I will be using one at client site.
Thank you for your time!
Thank you, Bob. I'm afraid that depends on the camera. Do you know which one you will be using?
Hey Wolf... fantastic video... MANY THANKS and... which can be the perfect setting for EOS100D? 18-55mm
Thank you, Stefano! The biggest challenge with this camera will probably be focus. I suggest using manual focus and ask your subject not to move. The rest of the settings are the same across every camera if they are possible (depending on the light) 😉.
@@wolfamri Tks!!!
Great video Wolf! Picking up an a6700 this week and your video really helps! Any recommendations on an SD card for the a6700 for 4k 60fps? Something that won't break the bank?
Hi! Great camera choice 😉. It depends a little on the codec you‘ll be using. The Manual should list the exact speed you‘ll need. I‘m currently preparing an SD card buying guide. V60 should be enough. I personally use a few different ones. The Sony tough are expensive, but I like that they don’t have that fiddly lock lever 😁. But other than that Sandisk and Lexar are good brands. Don’t fall for the read speeds though, it’s write speed that is important 😉.
@@wolfamri Had another ? About the recording format for the a6700, I have a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max with 64GB ram - do you recommend shooting in XAVC HS 4K or XAVC S 4K? Which would be better for editing in premiere pro? Curious on your thoughts thanks Wolf!
Your back 🎉🎉
🤗🙏🤗
Hey @wolfamri ! I also noticed that I can't turn on APS-C S35 Shooting mode if any of the 4k File Format's are selected while in Movie Mode. I can only select APS-C S35 Shooting mode if shooting in XAVC S HD or XAVC S-I HD. However, I noticed when I switch the camera to Manual mode (not the little Film icon on the dial) than I can turn on APS-C shooting mode. So, that's the mode I'll use, but I'm wondering why I'm seeing so many others here on youtube saying to choose Movie mode as the first thing you do when shooting video with the A7S III.
That's because the resolution of the a7s series is very low (in order to make it the low-light king). It has a resolution of 12mpix, while most other cameras have 24mpix or more. Unfortunately you can't crop from a sensor, which biggest resolution is 4k. The others have 6k or more (photo resolution), so you can easily crop.
I hope that makes sense.
In photo mode you can crop, but you still get a smaller resolution.
Can you use a DJI osmo pocket 3 for green screen??? Are there any specific settings that are different than you explained? thanks for your videos! really helpful!
Thank you! I don’t think there should be an issue. Just that the lens is rather wide angle as far as I know and I’d expect it to create noise sooner at the respective ISO settings. But it should be doable.
@@wolfamri Thank you so much!!! You are helping so many!
I really enjoyed all 4 videos you made on this subject. If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of the font you are using at 5:20 in the video. It's really clean looking. Thanks for the videos. I got them in my saved list for reference.
Thank you, Glenn. I‘m currently mixing Elizeth with URW. Not sure where I got it. Either Adobe or Google Fonts 😉.
@wolfamri I just tried shooting a test video with my Sony a7s III while in manual mode ( [M] on the dial, not movie mode with the film icon). I turned on APS-C S35 Shooting just as you suggested, got the image composed just as I wanted it in the monitor, and recorded the video. When I played the video back, I saw that it recorded the video in full frame so I was capturing so much more of the image than what I intended when composing the image in the monitor! What's going on there?!
that's surprising. In photo M mode the a7sII doesn't really record with the video settings that you choose (codec, etc.). That changed with the a7sIII if I remember right. However, it's weird that it would record something else than it displays. But I don't have the camera, so I'm afraid I can't try that.
Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge. Looking to pull a perfect key and would appreciate your insight. Shooting in my home studio with controlled lighting. Shooting on a Canon C 100 MarkII. I have a choice of lenses a sigma 35 mm prime, the factory 50 mm prime and of course a telephoto 28 mm to 70. Incidentally the 35 mm is the perfect length for a talking head which is what I shoot most. The native ISO is 850, I'm just curious about the best settings beyond for the key. It appears I have to do a lot of color correcting in final cut. I do get some spill and noise around the hairline. As you're probably aware of the camera C100 MarkII is just 8 bit with a 4K sensor down sampled to 1080. Having just watched your video it looks like 5.6 is the perfect F-stop with the green screen slightly under exposed with even lighting? Perhaps 60 frames per second not 24? My camera has the 180° shutter speed option.Should I avoid any different colored lights? I have a slight blue tint for a hair light and I do like a warmer tone on the face… Plus the background picture I key to has a blue studio tone.That said should I keep everything at approximately 5500 K? Is there advantage to shooting in log color correcting and then pulling the key? OK I'll stop rambling and give you a chance to answer. Thanks again. Michael
Hi Michael! Thank you for your question. Before answering: did you see my other videos of this series? They answer most, if not all of your questions in great detail (and much better explained in a video than I could do here in words). Here is a playlist that starts with the best background, then continues to lighting and the last video is about some green screen editing "secrets" (Premiere Pro though, but have a look, it should give you some tips that I haven't found anywhere else - e.g. using several instances of the green screen effect for different parts of the frame).
If you then still have questions, please don't hesitate.

Hi! Outstanding video series! You have answered most, if not all, the questions I had around green screen high quality video production. Question: I have a long room (around 21 feet between me and the camera). Would I benefit from placing the camera far away, and using a longer lens, like a 100 or even 200mm?
Thank you, Luis. Not in regard to how well it will key. Perhaps have a look at my green screen lighting video, that will describe how different distances influence the key, because you can set the light better.
Thank you@@wolfamri! My reasoning is this, (but I'm no expert): If I can shoot at 100-200mm focal length, maybe the proportions of my body and hands will be a bit more appealing, and allow me to use a not so large green screen. I would like to take advantage of the long room and avoid the big-nose big-hands effect of going for a shorter focal length. All your videos have been really helpful, thanks again!
@luisfranciscocordero9627 Makes total sense, Luis. But in the end you have to find a balance between good looking body (which is usually not a big issue unless you go for 35mm or less) and green spill. I usually shoot 55mm and 85mm (so far full frame). The room length I usually use is around 6m (18ft).
Once again, thank you so very much!@@wolfamri
Very informative! I have a question about the lens mm to use. I was thinking about Sigma 16mm f1.4 (which I could use for both green screen side gigs, and live streaming (no green screen, just for my face), and when using green screen, I would lose the bokeh effect either way, I just want to avoid having 2 separate lenses), however, since you mentioned that 35mm and above is recommended, I wanted to ask you which lens could work for me. My room is pretty small, but the max I can go is about 300 cm between the green screen itself and the wall, but considering that I would need need to move from the green screen a bit, the length will be even smaller. I was hoping I could do full body shots too with the wide lens, but I don't think I would be able to do full body with 30mm and beyond (correct me if I am wrong). What are your recommendations?
Full body shots will be really tricky. Do you have a kit lens? I assume you are using an APS-C camera, when you consider the 16mm f/1.4?
@wolfamri yes, APS-C camera, Lumix GH5 (no kit lens). I watched a few comparison videos between 16 to 30mm from 3 meters, and the 30mm lenses might be a perfect fit, although I am not sure if it's the best option for me.
Great video, thank you.
I am planning on using Sony EV Z10 to record my green screen movie.
Is this a good camera for shooting green screen videos? Or should I buy a new camera?
Thank you😉. That can is more than good enough! But more important than the camera is lighting the video as good as possible. Let me recommend having a look at my lighting video in this series if you haven't already. And then there is the editing video too 😉
Hey Wolf!! Started filming green screen with the a6700 last night! Great results from your tips! Wanted to ask
We noticed there was a small light on the front of the camera to the upper right. Is there a way to have that turn on when recoding video so we know it’s recording when shooting ourselves?
Hey there. Awesome. I don’t think so. What I do is turn on the cameras audio signals. Then you know when it starts and stops recording 😉.
@@wolfamri hey Wolf! We were actually filming our mother late last night and she had shades on and she had a hard time seeing the camera 😂 so was thinking a front red recording light would have helped her to keep her eyes locked on it.
😂 that sounds like a silly thing to do. But I love silly things 😂. In this case I’d just use a very small led flashlight like it’s often used for keychains. Just use a rubber band and fix it to the lens. But make sure it doesn’t light into the lens, so mount it slightly behind 😉.
Hey Wolf - when editing footage, I’m assuming I colour grade etc first before keying?
Hi! In premiere Pro, I'd first key. They key will then be applied to the "raw" footage and the later applied grading is only applied to the keyed parts. That makes matching foreground and background easier. 😉
Welcome Back!
Thank you so much, Muhammed 🤗🤗🙏. And now I'm really starting 😉.
4:16 If you have experience using an IBK stack to pull a key and roto to isolate areas for your dynamic despill, using a lower shutter speed should be fine. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, just go for the higher shutter speeds for now. You will have less motion blur in your shots, and the motion will look a little less realistic, but maybe that's okay for now.
Again, remarkable video! So good, detailed and understandable. Love it! The only thing that makes me question is, what if I only have an 18-55mm (1:2,8-4) lens? After first tests, I can only go to 20mm if I still want to have 2m distance to my green screen. Lens to Greenscreen length is 3.20m. I have 4 Neewer 660 2,4G LED (45W) Lights incl. 80cm umbrellas for diffusion. Any idea?🤔
Can I even go to 1/150 for shutter speed to reduce the green spill even more?
Thank you, Dino!
I'm afraid that is always a compromise. 20mm should be quite OK as it is 32mm full frame equivalent (assuming you are using Canon). But it's on you to decide if the distortion is something you can live with.
If not, you have to find a balance by getting closer to the green screen and living with more spill instead.
Try to use two of your lights as rim light and at the same time background lights. Perhaps a white gel might help you even it out a bit more, but that way you lose a bit of control over where the light spills. Try that without the umbrellas first whether that would give you a well-lit background (depends a bit on the width of your room - the further you put the lights to the side, the more even the background, but the less powerful the rim light.
For shutter speed: yes you can go to 1/200sec too, unless you realize your lights start flickering. The problem only is that this will introduce more noise. Just keep in mind, that will only help you with motion. If you mean the green spill from the background, that is not a question of shutter speed.
I hope that helps rather than confuses ;).
Hello. My case scenario is similar. I have a distance of about 3.2mts from the lens to my green screen, and I'll be around 2mts from lenses and around 1,2mts from the green screen. The green screen I'm buying is the ELGATO XL 2mts height and 1,82mts wide. My camera is a Sony a6700.
And my doubt is between the sigma 16mm 1.4 DC DN or the versus sigma 30mm 1.4 DC DN. Because as far as I learned, the 30mm would be more of a realistic image, without the 'curved' aberration. But I'm afraid that the 30mm is too zoomed in for the (short) distance I have between the lens and me. In that sense the 16mm would fit more of me and the greenscreen in the frame. (ideally I would like that all the 1.80mts of the green screen would be in frame)
I've just learned your suggestion to take a Full frame lens and adapt it to the APC-S sensor, but I'm afraid that the price isn't compelling to me, and I would prefer to zoom the image a bit (even if it loses quality) to get rid of the corner vignette.
I'm a really noob in camera specs and such, so I would appreciate for you to keep that in mind on your answer 😅
Thanks a lot 🫡
@@wolfamri
@JoaoPedro-nd8dx let me try 😉
In 3,2m distance (your green screen distance to camera), The 30mm lens would capture a frame of 2,5m x 1,66m
In 2m distance (your subject distance to camera), the 30mm lens would capture a frame of 1,56m x 1,05m
The height is for photos though, for video it will be a little less because of the 16:9 aspect ratio. I hope that makes sense.
Both values according to the app photopills. You could try to use an app called „viewfinder“ for testing where you can set the sensor size (in your case 23,6x15,7mm) and focal length (that’s the 16 or 30mm) and the app will simulate these in your smartphone display 😉.
Beside that: depending on where you live, you can order a lens, test it and send it back if it doesn’t work for you.
@@wolfamri Wonderful, thanks for the app suggestion, will try it for sure.
Yes I understood that the height isn't a big deal because of the 16:9 of the video ratio display.
With the measurements you gave me, as far as I can understand the 30mm will capture 1,56mt sideways on the subject (me and my desk) and 1,05mt in height on my subject, and it captures 2,5mt of my greenscreen width. So if that's correct 30mm would be the way to go!! Fortunately.
Anyway I'll try to test the app and in the best case scenario to order the lens to test it.
Thanks!!
CHEERS
The height should be 0,88m because of 16:9, but the rest should be correct according to photopills 😉
Hey Wolf one other ?, We purchased a Sony a6700 with the 16-50mm lens and will be doing green screen work with it. Wanted to ask you what color profile you recommend? We have it set at cineform right now. We have our aperture at 4.5, shutter at 1/125 iso at 800 as u said and white balance at “daylight” as you said as well. Let us know if you can thank you wolf!!
Hi! Tbh, I don’t use a profile for green screen. Since I have total control over the light, I don’t need a higher dynamic range, so I save myself the post production work of adding contrast, saturation, etc 😉.
@@wolfamri Do you recommend no profile? We tested the cineform today and it looked fine, but if there's a better setting love to try it!
@officialhardnox I use no profile. But only when I have full control over lighting 😉. BTW: the settings only work 100% if you have the exact same lighting setup. Otherwise you will have tweak them a bit 😉
Hi Mr. Amri,
I trust this message finds you well. I recently came across your green screen tutorial on RUclips and wanted to express my gratitude for sharing such valuable insights. Your expertise is truly inspiring.
Having watched your tutorial, I'm eager to embark on my content creation journey. I'm a researcher using a Sony a7 III with an f/1.4 24mm Gmaster lens. Your mention of issues with wide-angle lenses has left me a bit concerned. My designated filming space is my empty basement with brown walls measuring approximately 4m x 3m.
Considering my budget of up to $400, I'm looking to set up a green screen for my RUclips channel focused on educating people about AI. I'm particularly interested in achieving full-body coverage and incorporating some movement on the screen.
Given the constraints and the potential lens change cost, I was hoping to seek your advice on an effective yet budget-friendly green screen setup. Your guidance would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you once again for your time and for sharing your knowledge.
Hi! Thank you! Great to hear that you are inspired. If you want a full body shot, you need a wide angle. So 24mm might even work. At best do some tests in your room without green screen, but be aware that you need some distance to the background. 😉
@wolfamri regarding shutter speed, I have the Sony a7s III and only have the options of 1/105 or 1/125 - not 1/100 or 1/120 as you suggested. I'm assuming I should use 1/125 for best results, but found it odd I have different shutter speed options than you. Is there a setting I need to turn on to get 1/100 or 1/120? Thanks so much!
It sounds as if you have set the exposure steps to 1/2 instead of 1/3. I can’t tell you exactly where to change that, but it should be somewhere in the menu.
@@wolfamri Thanks for that! I found it in Exposure / Color > [2] Exposure step > 0.3 EV. However, whether it's set to 0.3EV or 0.5EV I still only have the options of 1/105 or 1/125 - not 1/100 or 1/120! This is a mystery to me! I'm thinking it may depend on the lens you're using? I'm using the Sony FE 1.4/24 GM. Please return to this comment and let me know if ever run into a solution for this. Thanks again!
Hmmm - that is really weird. I'm afraid I can't think of anything that would cause that.
@@wolfamri Thanks for the reply. You may run across this now that I mention it. Please think of me and let me know what you find if you do.
Hi Wolf,
Hi!
I am using Filmic Pro Version 7 to shoot chroma key for backgrounds in 4K. I want to shoot in 4:2:2 ProRes.
Filmic Pro offers on my iPad for 4K: 8 bit, ProRes 709 and ProRes 2020. Do you prefer any one of those settings for ChromaKey purposes?
To make things even more “complicated” for my iPad , FilmicPro offers 422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422 HQ and simply 422. So once again, which of these is best for chromakey purposes in post production?
Finally what is the best frame rate to avoid motion blur in Filmic Pro 4K on my iPad?
Whew!!!!
Thanks,
Rowby
Hi Rowdy,
the frame rate depends on how much light you have available and how much noise your phone creates. I'd do tests in this regard. 1/100sec is the lower end IF POSSIBLE.
I'd probably go for ProRes2020, but I'd do tests here too. Just shoot the same scene with different settings and see which one gives you best results.
I still shoot 4:2:0, and I'm really happy with it for chroma keying, so except for pros, all of the settings should work OK.
But of course it depends a bit on what you really want to do with the footage. If you only play the talking head like I do, LT would be enough. If you need the highest possible quality for whatever reason, then go with HQ.
I hope that helps a bit (but I doubt it 😬😁)
@@wolfamri Thanks Wolf! Great tips. I’ll also try your 4:2:0 - especially since I will mainly be a talking head.
I really appreciate your quick reply with your expert advice
Rowby
Hi Wolf, What is the best picture profile (for Sony a7m4), of course, for green screen? Thank you.
Hi! Tbh, for green screen I turn picture profiles off. We can control the lighting and the contrast with the lights, so in my opinion there is no need for a flat profile 😉. But I know that other people use profiles, so I guess that's personal preference.
@@wolfamriThank you for your prompt reply. Your videos really help. I tried with SLog3, but it's more difficult in post, then in PP6... but I'm not sure, so I'm asking.
@@damirmarusic9723 Great to hear that, thank you. At best do some tests with your lighting and see which one works best for you. 😉
Do you have a recommended IRE value for screen and foreground? I understand separation is key.
I'm afraid I don't work with IRE very much. I'll check next time I record green screen and will get back to you. Shouldn't last long ;). But if you spot meter the background as I suggested, you can actually read the IRE out by yourself. Just keep in mind what I said about skin and hair in this regard.
Thanks for the reply!! I try to keep the screen around 50 and foreground around 90. This seems to work for me but I was curious what you have found?@@wolfamri
On the Sony cameras what colour profile are you using?
Hi. Specifically for green screen I'm actually turning the colour profile off, because I have control over the lighting.
My Sony A7SIII does not exactly have an APSC setting. There is a "clear image zoom" I could try. First I am going to switch to "Active Stabilization" which has a little crop, and see if that improves the key.
That’s because the a7s series has a sensor with less pixels to make it better in low light. It’s horizontal 4240px are close to the 3840 pixel of the 4k video resolution. So you can „only“ crop away 200px on each side. Still that should improve the vignetting a bit.
@@wolfamri Thanks
Yayyy!!!
🤗🤗🤗 it's been a while, right? 🤣 Thank you, Yanni!
What do you mean by lens correction? Are you saying shoot in a flat video profile when shooting on green screen? I have a canon t5i with a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM A
Hi! No, I don’t shoot a flat profile for green screen. Not sure if your camera has that option, but many would compensate for vignetting and distortion. That’s the setting I was referring to 😉
More vids!!!
Lots in preparation, promised 😉
Hey wolf! Another question for you! What microphone do you recommend for the a6700 for live streaming? Something that doesn’t break the bank and that can be used for myself and my brother? Thank you sir! Btw we’d love to send you our first green screen music video with the a6700! Always love your expertise feedback 🙏🤘
Hey there! Looking forward to your video. Regarding the mic: I use the Rode wireless go 2 and am really happy with it. But I don’t know any other wireless except for the version 1. DJI has come up with one and others too.
@@wolfamri hey wolf! Here’s the video I promised to send! It’s our first music video with the a6700. Overall very happy! Used all of your green screen settings as well! Only thing we might possibly play with is upping the shutter speed even more to continue to get rid of motion blur (we move around a lot 😂) but we also don’t want everything crazy choppy and glitchy either ruclips.net/video/W7WR3FE7PD8/видео.html
That's awesome! Congrats you two. I didn't really see the motion blur, but I totally understand that things like that can annoy you when editing - I'm just like that. 🤣. The only thing that I see that could be slightly improved is matching the color of the green screen footage to the background. Hard to say, but I would have moved it slightly to the yellow and magenta side in that case. But nothing that non-nerds would ever realize 🤣. Well done!
@@wolfamri wolf! That means a lot coming from you my man! Thank you very much sir!!! We will keep dialed to your channel as well! We never stop learning and improving! We were also very impressed by the Sony 16-50 kit lens as well! It did a darn good job with the video quality!
C'mon man we waiting!!
I swear I’m diligent in the background 😁😉
Regarding focal lengths, if I was to shoot on an A7SIII (full-frame) with a full-frame lens, but in Sony's APS-C/crop sensor mode, should my lens focal length be in the 35-55mm range or the 50-85mm range?
That depends on the space you have available. Longer is usually better 😉
@@wolfamri I guess my question is: for the ideal focal ranges that you mention in this video, is that assuming that you are using a full-frame lens in combination with a full-frame camera?
@benferguson3866 I'm discussing that at 2:50 in this video 😉. 30-55 on an APS-C camera and 50-85 on full frame. But longer never hurts (unless you are using a teleprompter and need to read from afar )😎.
And that is using a full-frame lens, correct?
Yes. The crop sensor lenses usually show a little more vignetting because they were constructed for a smaller sensor.
Recommendation for the FPS?
I mentioned it in the video and even explained why 😉
Hi Wolf, I am wondering what PP are you using?
Hi! For green screen I use standard, so actually no picture profile 😉
if i'm using 1/100 shutter speed, so how about my fps? still in 25 fps/s or 50 fps/s ?
Still 25fps, it’s about freezing motion, so 50fps wouldn’t make a difference in this regard.
0:56 What is wrong with just stepping down or up on the lens its diafragma in order to make the vignetting go away?
Nothing wrong, APS-C just gives you even better results, so why not use it? 😉
@@wolfamri As in, stepping down on a APS-C lens in order to make the vignetting go away, instead of buying a full frame lens to put on a APS-C body.
That’s definitely better than shooting wide open. You can additionally mask the corners in your editing software. I explain how to do that in my green screen editing video if you haven’t seen that yet 😉.
Hi Wolf, Honeslty, I don't see that much of a difference between the full frame and aps-c sensor.
Hi Victor. Do you mean on your camera/lens, or in my video?
Wolfamri So you mean the Green Screen Background has to be -1/3 Stop underexposed
compared to your main subject in the foreground ?
Did I get it right ?
Thank you in advance
Hi James, no, I meant when metering the background only (e.g. spot metering the green). 😉
@@wolfamriAh ok , thank you man !
This all has been very helpful
We would like to see Wolf Amri back😢
Awwww, thank you 🤗🙏. I swear that weirdo is working on many videos in the background. But he is very slow 😁😉.
Make it fast😅@@wolfamri
Do you light the green screen itself?
Yes I do. I have another video where I guide you through possible green screen lighting setups for different room sizes 😉
@@wolfamri just saw it. Trying the full body!
If i want to recoding to out of focusing how i do?? T.T
Hi! I‘m not sure I understand. What exactly do you want to do?
@wolfamri I want to shoot 85mm but when i compositing , have noise and not clear video. What should I do? It's not a clear-cut shot, I want to out-of-focus shot
@propip4065 Noise in the background, or is your clip that is noisy in general? What camera and settings do you use, and do you maybe have a link to a screenshot that you can provide?
@@wolfamri dotn have source. sorry im not good at explainig.. maybe i want talking about depth of filed as like cinematic video. When taking a close-up shot of a person's body, I focused on my arms and blurry face . After that, i editing green screen keying , quality of my hair and face looked bad because of the blur processing, so I asked if there were any better tips when shooting.
To avoid the vignetting you can also just crop the image slightly if all you have is a person standing in the middle
True, but that means losing resolution, which you may need 😉. I’d rather recommend using APS-C mode on full frame and/or making a garbage mask.
Does the whole NTSC vs PAL thing really matter if a person only cares to release content on the internet, such as youtube?
Yes and no. It's more a question of flickering lights when the electric current has a frequency of 50Hz and you are filming with e.g. 1/60sec or vice versa. With some lights that is not an issue, but with others it is. So to be on the safe side, I'll stick to the NTSC vs PAL thing.
@@wolfamri thank you sir
we need wolf amri to come back its been 9 months! 😭😭😭😭
Awwwww, Thank you. I'm working really hard on a complete series of videos in the background. 6 of 11 are almost finished😉🤗🤗🤗
@@wolfamri Woo!!! thats great to hear, can't wait
Which green screen software do you use?
I mainly use premiere pro for green screen. I have a tutorial on that too 😉. Even if you don't use premiere pro, have a look at the technique I use - it can be adapted to other green screen software too: ruclips.net/video/1DmsQcss2gc/видео.html
@@wolfamri any other you recommend besides premier pro? Something like a one time purchase.
Da Vinci is very popular. But I haven’t used it in a long while.
Where have you gone?
Hi Jeffrey. Thanks for asking. I’m slow at producing content 😂. One could say quality over quantity, or just slooooow 😬😂
I have a few questions
Why not ask away 😉
@@wolfamri I have a medium sized room (approx 16x16 and the green screen looks "fine" but I've tried this and there is still crazy motion blur and/or the halo around the subject. What could possibly be the issue? Sony a7iii and 2 Sony fdr-ax43 camcorders
@@wolfamri the subjects are at the table with is about 5 feet from the wall due to space. Got 2 stick lights(led) and an overhead tube on the green screen
@upcloselife what shutter speed did you use and did you check my video about green screen editing?
