#greenscreen #tip #nowrinkles
Good tip! I also first thought about ironing the cloth, but water-spraying method is amazingly simple!
Thanks! This is going to be so helpful!
Thank you my man! Very helpful!
Great tip! I had washed my green screen and it ended up very wrinkled and was going to iron it but glad I saw this first.
Great tip! Thank you !!
Thank you for getting right to the point. 👍
Glad it was useful!
Great tip. Thank you!
Genius! Thank you!
water - the magic ingredient of life! thanks! xoxox
🤣
Frank, awesome video and information! Thank you for making & sharing this!!
It’s actually a trick my wife taught me - she’s a Home Stager and this is the same way to get all the bedding and towels wrinkle-free for real estate photos!
Thanks for this! 🙌
Thank you soo much!
Thanks It was short and informative
Thanks!
Thank you!
Legendary!
Thank you I am going to try it out.
The key is to make sure the water is as hot as possible. It works quite well 🙂
Gonna give this a try and cross my fingers. My ordered one was in storage for quite a while
It’s amazing how well it works! Just as a heads-up this is for Cloth green screens - so don’t spray water on paper ones :)
Thanks so much, will surely give this a try
I’m not sure if I mentioned it in the video, but hotter water works best. It takes out the wrinkles and dries the green screen very flat.
Wow thanks for saving me from ironing for 45 min lol ✌️
I’m about to try it out now
Use hot water for best results!
Just got my screen popped up and now there's the best solution for getting the wrinkles out right here!
New subscriber.
Thanks!
1:23 for the tip
I've tried it on my wife, she look younger.
Yikes! I hope your wife doesn’t read this! I’d hate for one of my videos to cause any harm! 😁
genius!
Thank you, i wanted to try green screen stuff in my videos but didn't know how to make it flat/wrinklesless you could say
Have fun! Once it's nice a flat - the next "challenge" is getting the lighting right. You want to ensure a nice even lighting across the surface so that the green stays consistent and can be edited out easily.
@@LearningandTechnology thank you for the tip, i appreciate it
thx bro
This worked way more than I ever expected. This is a very inexpensive and easy way to fix wrinkles in my greenscreen. Was looking like a crumpled piece of paper for the longest time, gave me big headaches.
The headaches are much more manageable now XD
I'll try this, thanks!
I hope it worked out well for you!
@@LearningandTechnology Nope, i think it's because of the fabric i got
@@doonguitarlessons That's unfortunate. My screen is a "cotton" type of fabric. The key for me was to use the hottest water I could.
Another option might be to look at a fabric steamer. We use those in Home Staging to flatten curtains and bedding.
Does this work for microfibres? Please help I bought a T stand for convenience and now I have a minor fold line .
Good tip. But the reason I don't use a green screen is because of "green spill", the reflection of green onto the foreground subject. You see it all the time. I wonder if there is a way to eliminate spill in post? What do you know about that?
The main reason I see spill is from not having a light behind me illuminating the screen evenly. So I have a light behind me and a light in fron t of me to create the effect properly.
I think I’ll do a full video on this.
@@LearningandTechnology Would love to see that video. Lighting on a blue or green screen is harder than it sounds, at least to get a good key. BTW, many people don't know about blue screens and why they are used. It has to do with skin tones and the fact that most Caucasian people have blue in their skin...Green isn't the only color. In fact, there is a company that sells a reflective cloth that reflects (I think) infrared light that a video camera can see but your eye cannot. www.reflecmedia.com/broadcast/products/chromatte/index.htm
Also, check out this quote:
"Blond hair is a common issue with green screen because both the blond hair and a green screen have lots of yellow, hence the phrase “blondes on blue.” Clothing also shouldn’t contain any green colors or reflective materials including sequins or metal. Even sweat can reflect green light which can be hard to remove without the proper software."

@@moodberry great info! My interest in special effects from the late 70’s was all about blue screen! I was always confused as to why green screen was preferred over blue screen... now I know!
@@LearningandTechnology Yeah. That second link is well worth reading. It has lots of other info about lighting and I also learned that even back in the days of silent movies they were doing keying. Good stuff.
Life saver 😢
Thanks a lot. This will save 3 hours of my life from having to iron the green screen.
Thank you for saving me a ton of time from ironing hahaha
Haha! I hear you. I used to iron myself - my wife is a Home Stager - so she showed me this trick with curtains and bedding - works great.
If you are doing a lot of green screen - an alternative that I’ve begun using more is photo paper. I think I’ll make a video on that too! 🙂
Does it matter what kind of water you use ? Tap VS filtered or distilled water? I am goin to be green screening today for a music video and this video saved my ass! Thank you!!
It doesn’t really matter what water you use - if you live somewhere that has a lot of calcium or “hard” water then it might matter over a long time period, but I’ve never had any issues with plain tap water.
Just make it as hot as possible.
Ok awesome thank you
Thanks iam try that cause mine green screen always wrinkled
I was told the water must be distilled.(As opposed to household potable water.) Is this true? Thanks mate!
I just used regular tap water. I do live in a place with very clean water though.
@@LearningandTechnology Thanks but I had already bought the distilled by the time i saw your reply. Lol. But due to the synthetic makeup of the material of my green screen, the fold lines would not disappear entirely. Oh well. It will have to do for now. Thanks again anyway.
Ummmm thank you!!!
I had the iron out and everything
Haha! The hot water spray trick is super handy (and cheap). The other way is to get a steamer - but they cost a bit.
Unfortunately did not work for me but like the others said thank you for getting straight to the point.
Did you use hot water?
@@LearningandTechnology I did NOT! I will try that. I was in my 108 degree garage though so I figured it would amount to the same thing but I will try that. thanks for the followup.
@@therealmilowerx no worries - I learned this doing hole staging (carpets/bed linen).
The hotter the water the better.
Another alternative is to get a steamer - but that’s more costly
mold?
Nope. If you use warm water it will dry. If you are in an insanely humid environment - then a steamer or hairdryer can be added
My cloth says "Do not hang dry" will that be a problem?
Yes - it’s a material that isn’t cloth.
@@LearningandTechnology I see. thank you
I thought I was going to have to buy a blow dryer. Letting it dry sounds like it's the way. Thanks.
Sir, I can't believe it's been two months since I first watched your video. I do not have access to a blow dryer and in previous tutorials they told me I needed one. For some reason when I first tried using the spray bottle, the bottle didn't work either or I didn't know what I was doing. LOL. Bought a new spray bottle and tried it and without a blow dryer, it works! You rock! Thanks!
Please teach
Wait but wouldn’t that leave stains on the green screen.
Nope.
If it’s a cloth green screen it relaxes the fabric and dries nicely.
Obviously, you don’t want to use water that is dirty or full of chemicals - but you can see it the video that it dries clean.
I just use a steamer, takes care of things in seconds : )
That’s where this idea comes from - we used to use steamers in Home Staging, but hot water spray is easier.
@@LearningandTechnology But takes longer because one has to wait for the hot water to dry?
@@HouseofLeeNYC Correct. If you have a Steamer and the time to go over it - that’s a good solution. I have multiple steamers from Home Staging.
However, the hot water method is easier. Nothing to plug in, etc.
I just use hot tap water, spray, walk away, and come back to a nice flat screen.
Both work. It’s all about preference and whether you have a steamer and want to use it or not.
This is the steamer I have - it’s more expensive than a spray bottle though. amzn.to/3OPuYdV
It did not work for me and I used hot water :)
That’s odd - maybe it’s the fabric type. I use this all the time and even do this method for fabrics In Home Staging (bedding, curtains and more).
You need to make sure the fabric is quite wet before you let it dry. It should not be a water repellent fabric obviously. And it also helps if the fabric is under some tension

Here’s the version for those with lower attention spans :)

😂
Hi, I've only just seen this video, so I doubt you will be able to answer before I try anything tonight/tomorrow....I was just wondering if this method would work on an ALR Projector screen ? Material looks pretty similar, but hard to tell for sure. Mine says it's Polyester but it kinda rustles, so not cloth like. TIA
I would not do this on anything but cloth. The hot water relaxes the fibres of the cloth and that is what allows it to flatten.
Any other material might be water repellent and then this would not work.
Certain greenscreen materials should not wrinkle to start with.
You may wish to try a small wrinkled area and see if this method relaxes the material and takes the wrinkle out.
Thanks!
Thanks!
