Thanks, Kevin! You are a master at explaining things very clearly, provide all the information needed to get started, and have a very clear way of presenting all of that. This tutorial is no exception and I found it very helpful.

[@hmplfh2006]

I discovered your RUclips when I was searching for a technique to record a video without using a physical green screen. Wow, I hit the mother load. Excellent videos on a wide variety of tech subjects. Keep up the good work!

[@thetaburnmusic]

I've literally been trying this for over a year and your tutorial is the first that actually helped me succeed at using the green screen. Thanks dude!

[@youngrogue9293]

Glad I found your channel! Everything you display is so done in a way even someone as new to content creation as i am can fully understand it. Thank you for keeping it simple. I will make sure to check your vids when I need more info before looking elsewhere!

[@TheGospelSource]

THANK YOU. This was the BEST video explaining this process. Cut right to the directions, showing what to do and where to go on the screen. I look forward to trying this out. Keep up the great work!

[@jasonh8212]

best vid on youtube by far with this. the others never went into using images and started talking json files without explaining how to convert images to json. thanks for explaining in depth. cheers!

[@roberthaick3043]

I always wanted to know how to do this. Thanks Kevin!

[@TylerStanczak]

This is awesome Kevin. I really need to get a green screen now :)

[@DJSnupey]

I've watched several videos and finally someone explained OBS so simply. Thanks!

[@ajrosales047]

Thank you for your videos. I like them because they are really step by step and not assuming that the viewer knows already a particular process, which is very helpful

[@kingg2275]

thank you for getting to the point, not speeding through, and giving step by step details... thank you bro

[@TheHunter-sq1ug]

[@md2k6]

Thanks for the video! The instructions were clear and simple to follow. I had the background removed but didn't know how to use an image of my choice for the background. This tutorial helped me do just that!

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Quick and easy. I haven't had to set up mine for green screen in years, but my main pc is down and it's been set up for years and I'm on my laptop now. I needed a refresher, and realized I couldn't find it because my desktop taskbar was blocking the bottom, I slice it over to my hdmi out monitor and there it was. Anyway, good content, easy to understand and follow. A BIG thumbs up from me.

[@alansturgess1324]

Absolutely excellent. I'm just about to start uploading to a new channel where I will be reading/performing poetry for children, so I wanted to be able to declutter the background and use another image instead. There is obviously a substantial learning curve ahead (at 75 my brain isn't quite as flexible as it once was!!) so I hope you don't mind that I've downloaded your video so that I can look at it several times and make notes. Your presentation and explanations are exceptionally clear - so thanks again.

[@jonathanstars8437]

Hey Kevin. Your channel is the most valuable I've seen per second of viewing. REQUEST. For zoom and others we're limited to 1280p resolutions. Is there some way to host meetings for recording that allows 1920 res? What tool or service? Thank you much

Thank you Kevin... now I can streaming my video like a Pro!

[@rodcallaghan]

Kevin, you are a great presenter, thanks. I purchased a non woven fabric (NWF) green screen, probably closer to $15.00 mark, about 2 years ago. It came folded in an envelope, from China to Australia, the nwf material measured approx. 2 metres by 1.5 m ( about 6 ft x 4 ft) The envelope it came in was A4, about 8 inches x 10 inches in size . Now therein lies the problem, the eBay seller, who sold the product , and I noticed nwf fabric where you discuss buying a green screen and I saw the same green non woven fabric in your presentation, the sellers have no clues as to how to remove the 100's and 100's of folded wrinkles. No one on YT either has shown how me to get rid of the wrinkles in this horrible fabric, its sort of a plastic, like the green shopping bags sold at supermarkets. It melts easily if it's wet and you try to dry it with a hair dryer on full. I did try Vegas Movie Studio , which was good and its chroma key , but the wrinkles, well they showed through. I gave up . After 2 years of the green nwf hanging on a curtain rod and spraying it with water now and then, the wrinkles have almost come out. I decided to have another crack at making my own vids and this time using OBS. Still very early days for me . But one thing I notice, it's the lighting that is important and I noticed in your video, in the first few seconds where you show the lighting' you used, the very movie like light you are using to light up your pop out green screen. What light did you use , how did you position it, how close where you to the green screen and where you lit separately to the green screen ? I have heard you need to be several feet in front of the green screen, is that your experience ? Thanks again for the different clips you have put up, you are doing a great service for people trying to get into making video clips etc , btw I would not purchase a nwf green screen even if the seller has 99.99% sellers rating as these companies ask how happy are you with the purchase, practically as soon as it arrives . If asked after 3 months , the ratings for the products would be much lower when you can't get the wrinkles out ! .Cheers Rod

[@slitherlock]
