Not long at all, you should see the videos we do at our company ;) Great stuff, learned a lot. Now I'll pitch it to my boss and hope she gives us the green light to go ahead and set up a semi-permanent studio.
@@BasicFilmmaker Thank you, good set of important things for greenscreen. To speed editing things, you can use Q and W keys to trim the footage, it's way faster than dragging it using mouse.
Like John Legend? I am Legend? Just joking! This is really an amazing video - was feeling lost with all the things you need to know all over the place. It's all here - thank you, sir!
I can't believe this video is 8 years old. I have been watching dozens of green screening videos from the past few years and most of them don't cover half as much detail. Bravo and thank you for all the help Kevin!
This man is a legend for adding Closed Captions to his content, helping Deaf filmmakers and students altogether learn from his experiences and instructions. Thank you for making your video / channel accessible for us.
Hahaha... Hey Adam, great to meet you here! :)) I totally agree-this IS THE BEST! It's both educational and entertaining-Killer! Thank you so much Kevin!!! 😎 ✌️
Kevin - I've 36 years in the film business. Your green-screen video is simply one of the best training videos on nearly any topic in this crazy business. Thanks for making 23 minutes move right along. Great job - thank you for the effort.
Learned more in 20 mins with you than HOURS of other videos on a variety of Premiere Pro subjects (ultra keying included). Hands down, STILL the best green screen video so far -- even 4+ years later. (head shaking). Hard to believe that soooo many green screen videos fail to properly emphasize the importance of LIGHTING THE GREEN SCREEN AS A SEPARATE ELEMENT OF THE SET. Thanks for that and for everything else. You ROCK!
Just starting out playing around with green screening in OBS and this has to be the most natural looking keying I have ever seen. Usually I can pick up keying and 99% of the time it looks awful. Your studio background looks so natural it absolutely fooled me. Well done.
Hello Sir, I'm watching this video nearly 4 years after your posting. Though it is a little long by most standards I didn't find it to be too long at all due to all of the FANTASTIC, RELIABLE, REQUIRED AND USE FULL information here in. Most of the video's I've seen so far on the topic give you tips on what to do but are a little weak in the WHY to do it. As a semi pro photographer I understand very well lighting, aperture and shutter speed. Your video here is by far includes the WHY and for that I thank you very much. Great Video....
I don’t even have any intention of using green screen any time in the near future and I still watched this whole thing. It was interesting and you’re really enjoyable to listen to.
I've taught screenwriting, editing, lighting and effects college courses and have worked on several feature fillms.. it is very refreshing to FINALLY find someone explain what i ALWAYS SAID... LIGHT YOU DAMN GREENSCREEN FIRST... THE RIGHT WAY!!!!! as well as DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!! so thank you Kevin!
Kevin: I never post comments (well, I guess I have to say 'almost never . . . .'). Seriously, THANKS for an outstanding video. This one checks all my boxes: fun, helpful, clear, by a professional, no-nonsense, practical for me, etc. Your narration is pitch perfect too. I love the phrasing, the voice clarity, the dynamic range, it just slides into my ears so nicely. Then, most importantly, you have the cajones to take the time that's NEEDED to tell me what I needed to know. That "something worth learning is worth the time to learn," is a concept that just resonates with me. RUclips is full to overflowing with well-meaning people who don't take the time (theirs and mine) the time required for reasonable coverage and accuracy. You do! Thanks!! I have fallen in love with what I can do for my learners with KdenLive (whose price I can afford) that I could never do with even the latest-greatest and, yes, expensive current version of PowerPoint. I can zoom and draw, and SHOW them and now, thanks to your videos, I can communicate with them so much better and more effectively. Thanks so very much.
You have heard this old saying "T. M. I." omg! Thank you and as far as I am concerned I could listen to you covering this subject all day long. Also, thank you for all of the helpful links down below. You even linked to the Portable Steamer. You were real and I enjoyed your enthusiasm. Thank you!
Thank you. I've been a classroom teacher for twenty years. You're very good and thorough. In a couple of weeks I'll shoot a green screen video but I'll re-watch this a bout five times first.
I understood 90% of this! That's an amazing bit of understanding for someone who has never used a green screen, watched a video about using a green screen, or shot a video for RUclips. The only things I weren't 100% on is stuff I just need to watch Kevin's other videos on, specifically the post-edit stuff. Great video! Just the type of stuff a greenhorn like me needs.
I love down and dirty tutorials & demos. This was one great and very informative. You get straight to the point and keep on hittin' it. All meat & potatoes-no boring stuff. This was education.
Nearly 7 years later, this is most likely still the very best green screen tutorial video around -- now that's what I call *evergreen*!! *crickets* I've got to admit.. I didn't even figure out the background wasn't really there until well into the video, AND I thought the green screen was actually added in post until you turned off some light!! If that ain't proof you know how to do this a LOT better than I do, I don't know what is... Thanks so much!
Dude - i'm 90 seconds into this video, and you are one of the best instructors i've seen in a very long time. LOVE LOVE LOVE your personalism. GREAT presentation, and I'm looking forward to everything AFTER the first 90 seconds. Keep up the good work! :)
Being a new green screen user, this was SUPER HELPFUL!!! I have been having trouble for so long, and I hadn't even thought about some of the things mentioned in this video. Again, this is much appreciated!
This guy is on a level of his own. He gives a lot of useful information and making a point to the nay-sayers through one video. Great job, Kevin, and keep it up!
This is incredible. I found this while dreaming about if we could pull off a green screen and now I'm hooked on all of your videos. I'll be here for the next few weeks upping our game. Thanks so much for doing all of these!
The video content, picture, and the youtube description are of great quality. It sets a standard for all youtube tutorials even after 4 years. Thanks Kevin, you have been doing great.
Kevin, I'm really new to this and am a teacher of sorts, looking to create some different ways to answer our issues. This tutorial was a masterclass in how to keep things simple, interesting, funny and REALLY useful. Having watched this I now not only have what I came for, but more than that, twice as much enthusiasm and confidence for the project. Wonderful work sir!!
This is **the best** RUclips tutorial I have ever seen, and I've probably watched a bazillion hours of video. Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge!
In the age of Covid-19 and self-distancing this is perfect tutorial for anyone wanting to produce video clips on their own using green-screen technology. There are lots of very useful tips for the beginner that will help anyone not only get started but also avoid spending hours in post-production having to correct mistakes because of poor green-screen lighting. Thanks Kevin
Sir I am a musician from India and I ask singers to sing a song before a green screen in a 11x11 feet room and use Vegas Pro to add some titles, then some scenic background behind the singer. Sir please don't feel that someone said "You are talking more than..." You are explaining so nicely that laymen like me, are understanding step by step. Only thing since our mother-tongue is not English, I understand slowly. If you speak little slow, i feel your video may become longer so I stop and read your writings on the screen and understand. I am a self-learner and I can and could learn only through RUclips tutorials and your channel and your teaching is one of the very few best in these lines. Regarding Sound, sometimes I record audio first in Cubase where I can correct the singer's singing errors, taking into a laptop,, connecting it to Soundcraft mixer, giving mixer output to XLR connections of Sony NX-30 (small videocam) & shooting the singer before the green screen. Sir actually I am not able to light the green-screen because of the space problem (11feet x11feet) room but I am putting one 9watt bulb each on the floor (without any coverings)on left and right side of the green screen. Now only I came to know about GREEN SCREENER and now onwards I will try to do something better than what I were doing. Thanks a lot, God bless you Sir. 👌👍🙏
Got to tell 'ya....... I've been doing green screening for.... years, and I kinda knew everything he said but, it's all here folks. One ONE video. And YES..... it's all about lighting the screen, He nailed it! You should watch this.
Some of these I have already learned as a idea, but not in makeing. I bought a green fabrick, two meters and three meters to create the wall in backround. It needs really good light and better cam when space is bigger, but I have this life to learn. Thank you for these videos!
love the video, what i love the most is the last parts where you got mistakes. thanks for adding that its pretty inspirational because i get discourage when that kind of things happen, now i know that i am not the only one who have that.
amazing video. thorough, obvious knowledge, and answered the questions the moment they brewed in my mind....and its great to see a full length video, not an A.D.D. video...which usually are too quick, to understand a damn thing, no explanations, no work through problems, and always assumes the viewer knows way too much, or me as the viewer assume you know way to little by the lack of information from your video. Your video was great!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!! why didnt i see this one first, could have literally saved me watching 20 videos!! good job.. thank you so much for sharing. i feel way more confident as to what my problem is, as i am very new to green screen. thank you
This has got to be one of the very few technical videos that I've watched right through without skipping forward even though I didn't understand everything that's being said. Thank you. 💜
Wow - this is awesome!! You've really covered everything anybody could want to ever know about green screening. I was going mad trying to correct all this stuff in post production...finally looking forward to the creative aspect of things now, knowing I can solve all the issues I was facing. Thank you SO much!! :D
The quality of this presentation is way over the top! I'm very happy to have found it. I wish I had this information years ago when I gave up trying this myself. I knew back then that I needed real lights and not cheap junk that I had bought.
Wow, Kevin excellent job. To be honest, just a person with knowledge and experience about lighting, can explain a topic like this in the way you make it. Thank you for sharing!!! You have a new subscriber!!!
I remember seeing the behind the scenes of "This is The End." They were greenscreening on a set that had green grass on it! I have no idea how they pulled it off so well.
There's a LOT to this thing. It includes masking, rotoscoping, filming plate shots, and having people who really know their tools and spending weeks if not months make stuff look awesome.
Top Man. Great to listen to somebody who knows their stuff. Cant stand it when people take 5min to learn something then upload it-misleading the viewer-student. Keep up the great work. I will have to go over this several times before it sinks in, but that's the beauty of RUclips. Thank you very much, great tutorial.
Just found this and pretty much gave me the info that I needed to look into more all in one place for my filming project I have starting later this summer.
green screen "Long Video". I do not think this video is too long!! As a "nubie" I appreciated all this information -- all in one place!! THANK YOU -- THANK YOU!!!
Dear Kevin, 7 have passed and still this is the best video about green screen. Actually all your videos are the best! I've been watching your channel for years and I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU. PS I honestly wonder, if you give away so much great info for free, how to you make a living?
Dave Dugdale Oh man. Now I've done it. I hate doing the "look what I got!" videos. :) It's a system that was built from parts ordered by my IT guys and because of that, it was "only" 10Gs (for the box). Add in the 3 monitors, wireless keyboard and mice, tablet, 4gig mems on the vid card - yeah, it works pretty well. Maybe I should ship it to you Dave...you have WAY more experience doing these techie type things that I do. :)
I'm 2 minutes in an got 20 minutes to go and am excited to be here. I'm disabled/have ptsd; and so far you speak in a way I can completely understand. This is cool. Thank you..
Great video. And no. It is not "long". Question. What do I do if the subject is wearing glasses and it spills/morphs the greenscreen background over the subject's face. There was a short sample in your sample. Obviously, we can't simply key it out as it will leave a weird hole in the face. Thanks In Advance.
Big question. You should not be having spill on the face if lit correctly. You'll see at 8:01 I am turned sideways and pulling a key with glasses. Otherwise, you'll have to mask the person or that part out. Hopefully I understood your question properly? If not, ask again and I'll try and answer with more detail.
People always ask me "Green screen or Blue Screen" the answer is "it depends" video uses Blue screen because blue is the opposite if fleshtone, and all video professionals choose blue. Green screen is what cinematographers use. Because they used film and film is more sensitive to green. But clean lighting ls most important! Also proper clothing is important. I have been doing professional chromakey since the early 60s and a Emmy award editor.
Pro’s use both. Green pulls a better key than blue for codecs that are not 4:4:4 which is most of the time. Green holds more information in the signal. Only reason I have ever used blue is outside if there is grass or foliage in the shot because in that case you want all of your green spill.
@@blackout1111 they use Blue for video because its the opposite of skin tone. Maybe you never saw a real professional chroma key Blue background before, but its color almost hurts the eyes and pulls a fantastic key. Its all how you light it. I have been doing video production / editing for over 50 years and also a Emmy award editor. Green was always used for film becuase of the films sensitivity to green. Disney used sodium vapor lamps for thier background and used special til to generate the mask
roy Yung I was just making the point that in film developing days, before DI’s, you use the traditional (old) method of blue with film that was blue sensitive so the blue would print clear. Blue was the film standard because of this type of film. Star WARS, Dune etc. Green gets twice as much chroma detail on all the popular video broadcast 4:2:2 codecs like DNxHD and ProRes as well as the crappy 4:2:0 avchd and mpeg stuff. Im sure you know this from all of your experience in post production green is best for these compressed video codecs...because the green channel is much less compressed.
@@blackout1111 in the "old" days as you referred to, film was much more sensitive to the Green not blue. In video, the green channel is used as reference for the blue and red channels. Again rhe reason blue was chosen was because it was the opposite of the skin tone as green produced artifacts that were hard to key out and the spill made people look unnatural. This is why film people use green and video people use blue. Before images are encoded you must take into consideration if the sensativity if the sensor used in the cameras. For example in high quality film scanners there is ni encoding and it is 4:4:4. For the sake of readers who are unfamiliar with encoding method the first number (A) is the number of pixels in the sample (usually 4) the second number (B) is the number of chromance samples in the first row of A samples, and the 3rd number (C) is the number if changes of chrimanace samoles between the frist and second rows of A. But that is all about encoding. What is important is the sensitivity of the imaging device. As stated high quality film scanner use no chroma subsampling. Usually in production and cinematic post production no chroma subsampling is done for maximum quality. Since no chroma subsampling is done for live production it is at the discretion of the technical people to decide which they want to use. Again, blue is chosen for the opposite of skin tones. After a signal leaves the production switcher is is then recorded using compression or non compression depending on the Post House. I prefer using non compression because of higher quality. So to the original observation the red and blue channels are referenced from the main green channel. Even when setting color linearity of cameras, the green channel is as the reference to adjust the blue and red channels. (I have set up thousands of cameras this way) as all image sensors to not track the colors the same way and in multi camera shoots this is obviously important.. If am image has chroma subsampling (ie recorded image your best bet for correct linearity and no chroma artifacts would be green. But again it totally depends on the situation. Again for live it cinematic post production where humans are in the shot, I would always choose blue
This is at least the 3rd time I've watched this video. You're right in that you really have to get an EVEN light across the background. I'm still getting a dark edge around the subject, but it's a lot less than I had been getting, and will probably go unnoticed by most.
Alan Tutt Thanks. Yep, it takes some messing around to get it just rights. Dark edge around the subject means you should mess with your talent lighting a bit and adjust accordingly.
@@BasicFilmmaker Thanks for responding. I'll see what I can do, although not quite sure what adjustments to make to the lighting here. More light? Less light? Light position? Adding a rim light?
I bet this is a huge help for people that have at least some experience with film/photo editing, but sadly not me. I should probably know what “pulling a key” means but ......... no clue. Your fun personality kept me watchin to the end, even though we speak different languages. Keep up the good work.
That's my bad. Pulling a key is simply when you remove the green. For example, I have the video shot with me, green in back. I use a tool (sometimes called a keyer), click on the green, and that goes away (the green). That's "pulling a key." Hope that makes sense, if not, let me know. I like for people to understand, otherwise the video is pointless.
This is awesome, I wish I would've found it sooner, I'm going to go try all this out and hopefully make my day job a little easier, but my question is . . . How can I reduce the reflection in eye glasses? and maybe this lighting tip will fix the frame from grabbing the green and disappearing.Thank you so much I have subscribed and liked this video.
One is to make sure there’s no green bouncing from the front. As far as the lighting goes, lift the lights up about a foot above eye level at off the to right a couple feet, and glass glare be gone! 😁
I'll second that. After watching innumerable green screen vids, this one was by far my fav. Lots of useful info packed into it with a great pace and funny to boot.
I don't understand how anyone could "not like" this video. Informative and entertaining. For green screen lighting, very helpful (and yes I watched the DIY thing). Of course... the software is a whole other level of learning-curve investment. For now... it's all just fun to play around with and learn. Thanks!
What the hell..... you must have a monster machine.... 24 cores and over 100GB Ram... man... could you do an episode for that??? This must be two Xeon Chips each one with 12 cores. This must have cost a fortune. But just some comments for the green screen. If you can't be away far enough from the greenscreen, it helps to have a non shiny / non reflective fabric for your green screen. A heavy molton fabric should be good. The cheap fabrics are often thin and they glare a bit and thus a green spill will be seen, that comes from the screen itself on your back. Even with a kicker or hair light it is difficult to fix that. Secondly.. be sure you make a good white balance... I made good experiences with a grey card with 18% grey Also, you should wear a more dark and non reflectve suit or shirt. I made awful experiences with white clothing, especially with cheap fabric, that will shine greenish instead of swallowing the green spill. Instead of zooming in ( whith which you sacrifice a little bit of sharpness ) to get rid of the edges, where the green screen ends, you also can use the 4point/8point/ 16point garbage matte in Premiere Pro. But it depends on how much space you need for your movement on your right and left side. And last but not least... if your camera or/and your control monitor has that feature, you can use false colors, to detect hot or cold spots very easily. Hope it helps.... and I'm a big fan of your episodes. So I took one thing at home tonight.... syncronisation of the sound as you described it in this episode. I didn't know this and played around with handclapping to sync the sound of my field recorder with that of the camera. As always... thanks a lot. And if all that fails, try a luma key with a white or black background :-) Best regards Stefan
I've never had a problem with green screens - even using VHS cameras with fluorescent lights. The trick is to use green light on the green screen and light it at most one third as bright as the foreground. Creases don't show up, no spill, clean edges. If you don't understand physics don't do green screen!
@@BasicFilmmaker Gee shucks mister! Years ago I used flourescent tubes wrapped in green lighting gel, worked fine so long as the camera can't see the tubes. I must try that agin in the age of 4k cameras - we've been shocked how much ever tungsten practicals flicker. In these days of cheap LED panels it must be easier than easy to light green screen? I hate apps but MUST get that green screen tool!
8:48 The problem with a glass of water is refraction. The finger behind it is distorted. Yet, the mic stand in the BG footage isn't. I think the best way is to try to avoid that kind of stuff. When the BG is _"complex",_ have the glass in front of the subject, to block the BG footage. 16:18 That look works perfect on you! HAHA!
Thanks Jeremy. And yeah, these people don't get how much I don't care about their snarky comments - kind of like a little dog yapping 4 blocks away in the background. :)
Hi Kevin, just stumbled across this video and I found it really useful. However, I did notice that it looks as if you have some green spill on the sides of your face, in particular on your right. Is this from white balance and your lights or is this from reflection from the screen behind you? How would you go about remedying this without standing an impractical distance away from the screen, particularly for your setup there with your exact studio? (If it was in fact caused by reflection)
I can see it all the way through, from as early as 0:11. Maybe it is the colour balance from the screen I am using that makes it more prominent? I can see a definite gradual colour change between the sides and middle of your face though.
Sorry, I don't see it. If it were green spill from the green screen, it would have removed some of my face - which some people may have thought was a good idea.
@@BasicFilmmaker I see it, too. "sides of your face, in particular on your right" is what I'd say, too. On the left side it's between your ear following your neck down to your jacket. On the right it's from your ear following your jawline to your beard. 17:31 is a timestamp I see it clearly. Also, I tried multiple monitors. I can see it on 3 different ones from 2 manufacturers, but on a fourth one (identical to one of the first 3) it is so faint I wouldn't have noticed it. It's not green enough to key, just enough discoloration of your skin tone to look green to the eye. Technically it may still be a reddish color, but human eyes are really picky with human skin tones...
LOL! Well, not really. It's been a bit of a journey. Some are good, some are amazing, some I don't care for. I leave the very early videos public to remind me not to get cocky. :)

I have fallen in love with what I can do for my learners with KdenLive (whose price I can afford) that I could never do with even the latest-greatest and, yes, expensive current version of PowerPoint. I can zoom and draw, and SHOW them and now, thanks to your videos, I can communicate with them so much better and more effectively. Thanks so very much.
Wow! Thank you so much John for taking the time to leave such a kind comment. Very much appreciated!
I dont care who said u talk more than grand. I think you are best teacher. Very detail. Thank you and easy understanding.
LOL! Funny, I don’t care either! 😂😂😂 Thank you!
You have heard this old saying "T. M. I." omg! Thank you and as far as I am concerned
I could listen to you covering this subject all day long. Also, thank you for all of the helpful links down below. You even linked to the Portable Steamer. You were real and I enjoyed your enthusiasm.
Thank you!
Comment much appreciated Jerry!!
This was seriously the best video on this topic! THANK YOU for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us. I really appreciate you!
Thanks so much Kelly!!
This is the best green screen training out there in 2024! Thank you for this awesome training!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you. I've been a classroom teacher for twenty years. You're very good and thorough. In a couple of weeks I'll shoot a green screen video but I'll re-watch this a bout five times first.
Great! Let me know how it turns out! 👍
I understood 90% of this! That's an amazing bit of understanding for someone who has never used a green screen, watched a video about using a green screen, or shot a video for RUclips. The only things I weren't 100% on is stuff I just need to watch Kevin's other videos on, specifically the post-edit stuff. Great video! Just the type of stuff a greenhorn like me needs.
Awesome and thank you!! 👍
I don't know why people give you a thumbs down, when your so educational about showing how to do green screen. Don't let it bother you...
It doesn’t bother me at all. It actually makes me laugh at people who come to watch a video for free and really didn’t want to learn anything.
I love down and dirty tutorials & demos. This was one great and very informative. You get straight to the point and keep on hittin' it. All meat & potatoes-no boring stuff. This was education.
Appreciate the feedback John!
This is the best "Green Screen for People Starting from 0" On RUclips hands down
Thanks!
Nearly 7 years later, this is most likely still the very best green screen tutorial video around -- now that's what I call *evergreen*!!
*crickets*
I've got to admit.. I didn't even figure out the background wasn't really there until well into the video, AND I thought the green screen was actually added in post until you turned off some light!! If that ain't proof you know how to do this a LOT better than I do, I don't know what is...
Thanks so much!
Dude - i'm 90 seconds into this video, and you are one of the best instructors i've seen in a very long time. LOVE LOVE LOVE your personalism. GREAT presentation, and I'm looking forward to everything AFTER the first 90 seconds.
Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you Brian! 👍
Being a new green screen user, this was SUPER HELPFUL!!! I have been having trouble for so long, and I hadn't even thought about some of the things mentioned in this video. Again, this is much appreciated!
Thank you, I find you to be professional, knowledgable, patient and clear speaking. But most of all I enjoy your channel because of your energy!
Much appreciated Peter!
This guy is on a level of his own. He gives a lot of useful information and making a point to the nay-sayers through one video. Great job, Kevin, and keep it up!
Thanks very much. Love that you appreciated the effort. p.s. The entitled who watch stuff for free and complain about it make me LOL... :)
This is incredible. I found this while dreaming about if we could pull off a green screen and now I'm hooked on all of your videos. I'll be here for the next few weeks upping our game. Thanks so much for doing all of these!
Awesome! Thank you!
The video content, picture, and the youtube description are of great quality. It sets a standard for all youtube tutorials even after 4 years. Thanks Kevin, you have been doing great.
Thanks Patrick!!! 👍👍👍
Best chroma key tutorial I have seen! I've been keying for years and I learned so much watching this!
Thanks Ali!
This is the best green screen tutorial I've ever seen. Great job! This could literally be part of a paid course.
Thank you Petro. I am considering updating this video for 2019 and turning it into a cheap paid course.
Kevin, I'm really new to this and am a teacher of sorts, looking to create some different ways to answer our issues. This tutorial was a masterclass in how to keep things simple, interesting, funny and REALLY useful. Having watched this I now not only have what I came for, but more than that, twice as much enthusiasm and confidence for the project. Wonderful work sir!!
This is **the best** RUclips tutorial I have ever seen, and I've probably watched a bazillion hours of video. Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge!
Thanks so much for the nice comment! :)
In the age of Covid-19 and self-distancing this is perfect tutorial for anyone wanting to produce video clips on their own using green-screen technology. There are lots of very useful tips for the beginner that will help anyone not only get started but also avoid spending hours in post-production having to correct mistakes because of poor green-screen lighting. Thanks Kevin
Thanks Paul!
Sir I am a musician from India and I ask singers to sing a song before a green screen in a 11x11 feet room and use Vegas Pro to add some titles, then some scenic background behind the singer. Sir please don't feel that someone said "You are talking more than..." You are explaining so nicely that laymen like me, are understanding step by step. Only thing since our mother-tongue is not English, I understand slowly. If you speak little slow, i feel your video may become longer so I stop and read your writings on the screen and understand. I am a self-learner and I can and could learn only through RUclips tutorials and your channel and your teaching is one of the very few best in these lines. Regarding Sound, sometimes I record audio first in Cubase where I can correct the singer's singing errors, taking into a laptop,, connecting it to Soundcraft mixer, giving mixer output to XLR connections of Sony NX-30 (small videocam) & shooting the singer before the green screen. Sir actually I am not able to light the green-screen because of the space problem (11feet x11feet) room but I am putting one 9watt bulb each on the floor (without any coverings)on left and right side of the green screen. Now only I came to know about GREEN SCREENER and now onwards I will try to do something better than what I were doing. Thanks a lot, God bless you Sir. 👌👍🙏
Thank you Seetha for the kind comment.
Wow. I wish I'd seen this video three years ago when I got into this stuff. This was excellent from start to finish. Thanks Grandma
Thanks John! Grandma. 😂😂😂
Got to tell 'ya....... I've been doing green screening for.... years, and I kinda knew everything he said but, it's all here folks. One ONE video. And YES..... it's all about lighting the screen, He nailed it! You should watch this.
Thanks Roger! Really appreciate the kind feedback! 👍
Some of these I have already learned as a idea, but not in makeing.
I bought a green fabrick, two meters and three meters to create the wall in backround. It needs really good light and better cam when space is bigger, but I have this life to learn.
Thank you for these videos!
Thank you Jenni!
As a post guy, please allow me to thank you greatly for making this! I will be sending links to this video to many colleagues!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind comment.
There are so many GEMS of Knowledge in this VIDEO, it's just FANTASTIC, thanks for sharing your BRAIN :)
LOL! My brain. A deep and dark place. Joking aside, thank you. Much appreciated.
love the video, what i love the most is the last parts where you got mistakes. thanks for adding that its pretty inspirational because i get discourage when that kind of things happen, now i know that i am not the only one who have that.
LOL! For sure! I think in 8 years I had TWO videos I didn't make a mistake in. I just laugh it off usually. :)
amazing video. thorough, obvious knowledge, and answered the questions the moment they brewed in my mind....and its great to see a full length video, not an A.D.D. video...which usually are too quick, to understand a damn thing, no explanations, no work through problems, and always assumes the viewer knows way too much, or me as the viewer assume you know way to little by the lack of information from your video. Your video was great!!!!! thank you thank you thank you!! why didnt i see this one first, could have literally saved me watching 20 videos!! good job.. thank you so much for sharing. i feel way more confident as to what my problem is, as i am very new to green screen. thank you
Thanks! Really glad it helped, and yes, I tend NOT to cater to the "give it to me all in 2 minutes" crowd. :)
This has got to be one of the very few technical videos that I've watched right through without skipping forward even though I didn't understand everything that's being said. Thank you. 💜
LOL! Thanks Dew. It’s a lot of info!
Thanks man. I am the one-men band you spoke of. This is crazy helpful. Best to you.
Kevin, this is just fantastic for my University students. We are trying to do THEATRE in the time of Covid. Thank you so much!
You are MOST welcome! Thanks!
Wow - this is awesome!! You've really covered everything anybody could want to ever know about green screening. I was going mad trying to correct all this stuff in post production...finally looking forward to the creative aspect of things now, knowing I can solve all the issues I was facing. Thank you SO much!! :D
Thanks Tracey! Appreciate the feedback!! 👍
The quality of this presentation is way over the top! I'm very happy to have found it. I wish I had this information years ago when I gave up trying this myself. I knew back then that I needed real lights and not cheap junk that I had bought.
Thanks Dave J!
Wow, Kevin excellent job. To be honest, just a person with knowledge and experience about lighting, can explain a topic like this in the way you make it. Thank you for sharing!!! You have a new subscriber!!!
Thank you Jose!!!
I remember seeing the behind the scenes of "This is The End." They were greenscreening on a set that had green grass on it! I have no idea how they pulled it off so well.
There's a LOT to this thing. It includes masking, rotoscoping, filming plate shots, and having people who really know their tools and spending weeks if not months make stuff look awesome.
Best green screen lighting video. I was at the point of giving up. I was making ALL the mistakes. Thanks 👍
This is the best Green Screen tutorial ever!
Appreciate the comment Ricardo!
I'm only 3.5 minutes in and you're already my favorite person on RUclips. :-)
LOL! Thanks Cory. Appreciate it!
I second that!
Top Man. Great to listen to somebody who knows their stuff. Cant stand it when people take 5min to learn something then upload it-misleading the viewer-student. Keep up the great work. I will have to go over this several times before it sinks in, but that's the beauty of RUclips. Thank you very much, great tutorial.
Thanks so much John!
"If you don't have the patience to learn something, watch some other video instead." Love it.
👍
recommendations have raised and introduced you well to me, and this time, i genuinely needed this. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind comment!
Just found this and pretty much gave me the info that I needed to look into more all in one place for my filming project I have starting later this summer.
*We are green with envy over your film making skills*
😀😀😀
I had no idea you were on a green screen when this video started. Well done.
Oh that’s cool! Thanks very much!
green screen "Long Video".
I do not think this video is too long!!
As a "nubie" I appreciated all this information -- all in one place!!
THANK YOU -- THANK YOU!!!
You are most welcome and correct. Made for those who wish to learn. 👍
Thank you Sir, Good Information. As A Film school Graduate, I Appreciate your help and support.
Thanks again buddy, Rod P. Jr.
Any time!
if you're impatient, you can change video speed.
True that. Or use the linked time makers in the description.
Dear Kevin, 7 have passed and still this is the best video about green screen. Actually all your videos are the best! I've been watching your channel for years and I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU. PS I honestly wonder, if you give away so much great info for free, how to you make a living?
Thank you so much!!! Check out BasicFilmmakerUniversity.com.
Fantastic video! One of your best.
I learned a few things.
24 cores! What?! Please do a video on that topic please!
24 cores refers to his computer processor(s)
Right!? That blew my damn mind. I'd love to see his computer/workstation setup.
Ditto!
Please do. Intel Xeon 56XX...?
Dave Dugdale Oh man. Now I've done it. I hate doing the "look what I got!" videos. :) It's a system that was built from parts ordered by my IT guys and because of that, it was "only" 10Gs (for the box). Add in the 3 monitors, wireless keyboard and mice, tablet, 4gig mems on the vid card - yeah, it works pretty well. Maybe I should ship it to you Dave...you have WAY more experience doing these techie type things that I do. :)
Love this. Thanks for sharing this knowledge and also making it fun to watch!!!
Thanks Jay!!
I really appreciate that you took the time to create this. There are so many elements to build on. Again...Thank You!
Saved me so much time every minute was worth all of this knowledge.
Thank you the comment Queen!
I go to a project based charter school and I'm interested in voice overs and film stuff, and your videos are always coming in clutch!🙏much love!!
Thank so much!!!
I'm 2 minutes in an got 20 minutes to go and am excited to be here. I'm disabled/have ptsd; and so far you speak in a way I can completely understand. This is cool. Thank you..
Thanks Jesse! Appreciate the kind comment.
Great video.
And no. It is not "long".
Question.
What do I do if the subject is wearing glasses and it spills/morphs the greenscreen background over the subject's face. There was a short sample in your sample.
Obviously, we can't simply key it out as it will leave a weird hole in the face.
Thanks In Advance.
Big question. You should not be having spill on the face if lit correctly. You'll see at 8:01 I am turned sideways and pulling a key with glasses. Otherwise, you'll have to mask the person or that part out. Hopefully I understood your question properly? If not, ask again and I'll try and answer with more detail.
Awesome video. I especially like the blooper reel at the end.
Thanks much Michael!
Incredibly thorough and informative
Thanks Steve!
People always ask me "Green screen or Blue Screen" the answer is "it depends" video uses Blue screen because blue is the opposite if fleshtone, and all video professionals choose blue. Green screen is what cinematographers use. Because they used film and film is more sensitive to green. But clean lighting ls most important! Also proper clothing is important. I have been doing professional chromakey since the early 60s and a Emmy award editor.
True that roy Yung.
Pro’s use both. Green pulls a better key than blue for codecs that are not 4:4:4 which is most of the time. Green holds more information in the signal. Only reason I have ever used blue is outside if there is grass or foliage in the shot because in that case you want all of your green spill.
@@blackout1111 they use Blue for video because its the opposite of skin tone. Maybe you never saw a real professional chroma key Blue background before, but its color almost hurts the eyes and pulls a fantastic key. Its all how you light it. I have been doing video production / editing for over 50 years and also a Emmy award editor. Green was always used for film becuase of the films sensitivity to green. Disney used sodium vapor lamps for thier background and used special til to generate the mask
roy Yung I was just making the point that in film developing days, before DI’s, you use the traditional (old) method of blue with film that was blue sensitive so the blue would print clear. Blue was the film standard because of this type of film. Star WARS, Dune etc.
Green gets twice as much chroma detail on all the popular video broadcast 4:2:2 codecs like DNxHD and ProRes as well as the crappy 4:2:0 avchd and mpeg stuff. Im sure you know this from all of your experience in post production green is best for these compressed video codecs...because the green channel is much less compressed.
@@blackout1111 in the "old" days as you referred to, film was much more sensitive to the Green not blue. In video, the green channel is used as reference for the blue and red channels. Again rhe reason blue was chosen was because it was the opposite of the skin tone as green produced artifacts that were hard to key out and the spill made people look unnatural. This is why film people use green and video people use blue. Before images are encoded you must take into consideration if the sensativity if the sensor used in the cameras. For example in high quality film scanners there is ni encoding and it is 4:4:4. For the sake of readers who are unfamiliar with encoding method the first number (A) is the number of pixels in the sample (usually 4) the second number (B) is the number of chromance samples in the first row of A samples, and the 3rd number (C) is the number if changes of chrimanace samoles between the frist and second rows of A. But that is all about encoding. What is important is the sensitivity of the imaging device. As stated high quality film scanner use no chroma subsampling. Usually in production and cinematic post production no chroma subsampling is done for maximum quality. Since no chroma subsampling is done for live production it is at the discretion of the technical people to decide which they want to use. Again, blue is chosen for the opposite of skin tones.
After a signal leaves the production switcher is is then recorded using compression or non compression depending on the Post House. I prefer using non compression because of higher quality. So to the original observation the red and blue channels are referenced from the main green channel. Even when setting color linearity of cameras, the green channel is as the reference to adjust the blue and red channels. (I have set up thousands of cameras this way) as all image sensors to not track the colors the same way and in multi camera shoots this is obviously important.. If am image has chroma subsampling (ie recorded image your best bet for correct linearity and no chroma artifacts would be green. But again it totally depends on the situation. Again for live it cinematic post production where humans are in the shot, I would always choose blue
Thank you mr. boomer, this was a great stimulating tut, great hook to the vid.
👍👍👍
This is at least the 3rd time I've watched this video. You're right in that you really have to get an EVEN light across the background. I'm still getting a dark edge around the subject, but it's a lot less than I had been getting, and will probably go unnoticed by most.
Alan Tutt Thanks. Yep, it takes some messing around to get it just rights. Dark edge around the subject means you should mess with your talent lighting a bit and adjust accordingly.
@@BasicFilmmaker Thanks for responding. I'll see what I can do, although not quite sure what adjustments to make to the lighting here. More light? Less light? Light position? Adding a rim light?
I'd start with rim light to separate from the screen. Hard to tell without seeing a photo.
Most people watching this video are one man band film makers.......o.0........0.o......0.0
Lol, you just described the last year of my life! I've been through hell and back trying to get this stuff right!
😁😁😁😁😁 👍
I bet this is a huge help for people that have at least some experience with film/photo editing, but sadly not me. I should probably know what “pulling a key” means but ......... no clue. Your fun personality kept me watchin to the end, even though we speak different languages. Keep up the good work.
That's my bad. Pulling a key is simply when you remove the green. For example, I have the video shot with me, green in back. I use a tool (sometimes called a keyer), click on the green, and that goes away (the green). That's "pulling a key." Hope that makes sense, if not, let me know. I like for people to understand, otherwise the video is pointless.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 everything I needed to know 😭👌🏾
👍
watched the entire video, this was super super useful :)
thank you!
👍👍👍👍👍
You've Unlocked "Attention Span"... Level Up!
:-)
😁👍
6 years later, of all the green screen videos I've watched this is by far the best.
Damn this is 5 years old! Thought it was new but great job and funny!
Thank you! Yes, surprises me every time I see the post date from 5 years ago. 😁
This is awesome, I wish I would've found it sooner, I'm going to go try all this out and hopefully make my day job a little easier, but my question is . . . How can I reduce the reflection in eye glasses? and maybe this lighting tip will fix the frame from grabbing the green and disappearing.Thank you so much I have subscribed and liked this video.
One is to make sure there’s no green bouncing from the front. As far as the lighting goes, lift the lights up about a foot above eye level at off the to right a couple feet, and glass glare be gone! 😁
the first minute made me subscribe. Thank you *takes a deep breath* SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH !!!!
Thank YOU soooooooooooooooooo much!!
Thank you for this video It's the best green screen tutorial on youtube.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
I'll second that. After watching innumerable green screen vids, this one was by far my fav. Lots of useful info packed into it with a great pace and funny to boot.
I think he's David Fincher, that's how he knows so much about this topic.
LOL. Don't think so. :)
I don't understand how anyone could "not like" this video. Informative and entertaining. For green screen lighting, very helpful (and yes I watched the DIY thing). Of course... the software is a whole other level of learning-curve investment. For now... it's all just fun to play around with and learn. Thanks!
Well, because there’s a small minority of people in the world who like to make noise. That’s my guess. 😁
What the hell..... you must have a monster machine.... 24 cores and over 100GB Ram... man... could you do an episode for that??? This must be two Xeon Chips each one with 12 cores. This must have cost a fortune.
But just some comments for the green screen.
If you can't be away far enough from the greenscreen, it helps to have a non shiny / non reflective fabric for your green screen. A heavy molton fabric should be good. The cheap fabrics are often thin and they glare a bit and thus a green spill will be seen, that comes from the screen itself on your back. Even with a kicker or hair light it is difficult to fix that.
Secondly.. be sure you make a good white balance... I made good experiences with a grey card with 18% grey
Also, you should wear a more dark and non reflectve suit or shirt. I made awful experiences with white clothing, especially with cheap fabric, that will shine greenish instead of swallowing the green spill.
Instead of zooming in ( whith which you sacrifice a little bit of sharpness ) to get rid of the edges, where the green screen ends, you also can use the 4point/8point/ 16point garbage matte in Premiere Pro. But it depends on how much space you need for your movement on your right and left side.
And last but not least... if your camera or/and your control monitor has that feature, you can use false colors, to detect hot or cold spots very easily.
Hope it helps.... and I'm a big fan of your episodes. So I took one thing at home tonight.... syncronisation of the sound as you described it in this episode. I didn't know this and played around with handclapping to sync the sound of my field recorder with that of the camera.
As always... thanks a lot.
And if all that fails, try a luma key with a white or black background :-)
Best regards
Stefan
Hey Stefan! Thanks for the added tips. Note to others...expand the comment Stefan left here - there's some good tips. :)
"Really freaking long!!! But" also really freaking good! Thanks! #YouRock
Thanks Todd!!
Absolutely one of the most useful videos on the Internet! Thank you sooo much! I loved the content and the humor :D!
Hi, are you DON'T CARE guy? if so, i don't care also. Your tutorials in freaking simple for me. So subscribed and thank you !
Thanks Alfred!
I've never had a problem with green screens - even using VHS cameras with fluorescent lights. The trick is to use green light on the green screen and light it at most one third as bright as the foreground. Creases don't show up, no spill, clean edges. If you don't understand physics don't do green screen!
LOL! “If you don’t understand physics, don’t do green screen.” Awesome comment!
@@BasicFilmmaker Gee shucks mister! Years ago I used flourescent tubes wrapped in green lighting gel, worked fine so long as the camera can't see the tubes. I must try that agin in the age of 4k cameras - we've been shocked how much ever tungsten practicals flicker. In these days of cheap LED panels it must be easier than easy to light green screen?
I hate apps but MUST get that green screen tool!
Old man. LOL! Yeah, I think my best results were ballasted 6 foot shop lights off to each side so no flicker. Cheap and works.
Thank you so much! First time green screener here, and wow, great tutorial. 👍🏽
You're welcome!
5years old video yet you're still replying to comments,
You deserve more than 100k subs.
LOL! Thanks! 👍
8:48 The problem with a glass of water is refraction. The finger behind it is distorted. Yet, the mic stand in the BG footage isn't.
I think the best way is to try to avoid that kind of stuff. When the BG is _"complex",_ have the glass in front of the subject, to block the BG footage.
16:18 That look works perfect on you! HAHA!
Of course. The glass was to show the possibility. 16:18. 😁
Haters gonna hate. Great job, my friend. I'm just starting in the RUclips game so I very much appreciate all the detail and work you put into this.
Thanks Jeremy. And yeah, these people don't get how much I don't care about their snarky comments - kind of like a little dog yapping 4 blocks away in the background. :)
Hi Kevin, just stumbled across this video and I found it really useful. However, I did notice that it looks as if you have some green spill on the sides of your face, in particular on your right. Is this from white balance and your lights or is this from reflection from the screen behind you? How would you go about remedying this without standing an impractical distance away from the screen, particularly for your setup there with your exact studio? (If it was in fact caused by reflection)
Can you tell me the mm:ss you see this please? I don't know where in the video you're talking about.
I can see it all the way through, from as early as 0:11. Maybe it is the colour balance from the screen I am using that makes it more prominent? I can see a definite gradual colour change between the sides and middle of your face though.
Sorry, I don't see it. If it were green spill from the green screen, it would have removed some of my face - which some people may have thought was a good idea.
@@BasicFilmmaker I see it, too. "sides of your face, in particular on your right" is what I'd say, too. On the left side it's between your ear following your neck down to your jacket. On the right it's from your ear following your jawline to your beard. 17:31 is a timestamp I see it clearly.
Also, I tried multiple monitors. I can see it on 3 different ones from 2 manufacturers, but on a fourth one (identical to one of the first 3) it is so faint I wouldn't have noticed it.
It's not green enough to key, just enough discoloration of your skin tone to look green to the eye. Technically it may still be a reddish color, but human eyes are really picky with human skin tones...
I still don't see it. I must be going frickin color blind. Yay. :)
I'm just gonna watch every single one of videos you have uploaded till now if all of them are created in the same level as this single video..
LOL! Well, not really. It's been a bit of a journey. Some are good, some are amazing, some I don't care for. I leave the very early videos public to remind me not to get cocky. :)
5 years later and this video still makes a lot of sense. You rock Kevin!
Thanks Adan!
Great tutorial! Earned a sub from me. But I'm just an old fart trying to learn all of this new-fangled RUclips stuff.
Ozarks Astrophotography We’re all old farts or on our way there. 😁 Thanks!
