That is the first time I've ever seen anyone remove green screen in the blender VSE. Great job! Thanks for sharing. That is so good that I feel like that method should be turned into an official VSE effect. :)
This method (and which I believe is the best method) still kind of works in 3.2, albeit still a bit choppy. Props to you for discovering the most efficient method.
Thank goodness the only one who made a tutorial that is slow enough and detailed so that I can see every operation and every function performed within. I couldn't remember how to get back into Chromakeyer and then I remembered this video taught me how to get there. Glad I found this again. Thanks for the help!!
@@davidmcsween Hey, thanks!! I couldn't match anything with what I have. Kdenlive and shotcut were all I needed, I found. Each have slight variations but easy to figure out either one and not anything like Blender. Is Blender more complex because once mastered it offers greater graphics manipulating power or does it have more moving parts,...just because??
@@myloupman2097 it's complicated in Blender because the VSE or video editor, isn't designed to do this effect. I am using tools that were not intended to be used this way. If someone wanted to code a chromakey effect into blender then I'm sure it would be easy to use
@@davidmcsween Thank you so much for the reply. I started to think it had something to do creatively making a feature work that had never been developed but now I'm fully convinced. Good work on finding a way.
You can desaturate the green spill by adding an adjustment layer (with hue correct modifier) on top of everything. With some more steps you could potentially change the color of green spill to something like skin color.
This is great to see thanks for experimenting and testing to share! Wonder if the green screen keying node is better result and send the scene to the VSE?
You are a hero! Ive spent months looking for this, I was at the brink of buying filmora just for the Green screen filter. Do you mind if I make a video teaching this in spanish? As for the people who doesnt understand english but need this knowledge. I will credit you on the video of course
you can also add Curves on top of Hue Correct and invert curves so that you have white color on top of what you wanna be shown. Seems a bit more intuitive. Thanks for tutorial !
Depends on the version of blender. Iirc it didn't work when I tried this time. Although on earlier versions it did. Blender is always breaking tutorials 😄
So I get up to the part with adding the background image. Instead of a jpeg I add a vid file and I get the correct image that I wanted green screened, but it shows the checker board background. Thoughts?
@@francisgrimaldi2796 good work, sorry I didn't make it more clear. The checkerboard is used to indicate that the clip is now transparent. Unfortunately you still have to tell blender how to use it
When using the transform tool to move the image to the desired place I can see lines that make out the square shape of the selected strip in both preview and render Is there a way to get rid of those?
In 2.92 the strip transform settings in the sidebar has been completely reworked and it may be much faster at processing the images. Is it possible to do you're keying process in 2.92?

Absolutely, which is why I just made a feature request here ;-) blender.community/c/rightclickselect/1Tgbbc/
@@davidmcsween @Mikeycal Meyers Not only that, but a sharpening effect without needing to use the compositor would be amazing!
i come back to this video literally every time i need to do a green screen effect. thank you so much

You just unlocked a new door for my video editing process, thank you sir.
I could cry I’m so happy

I'm not even sure this technique works on new blender versions

this was a huge help, its kind of dumb that blender already doesnt have an automatic feature

Ahhh 3 point gets let out of the cave for his yearly dose of blender wisdom.... lol
David, just say Welcome.
Because I must say thank you.
Keep rocking, One day I would like to meet you.
But but... branding! :D You never know what the future holds I guess..
Thank you so much! it helped me a lot!
Thank you a ton! You got a very appreciative Subscribe. 😍
beautiful
thank you so much for your tutorial!
Wow !
This is great to see thanks for experimenting and testing to share! Wonder if the green screen keying node is better result and send the scene to the VSE?
Compositor keyed is definitely better but slow. But the realtime compositor might change that

Excellent tutorial, but I need REMOVAL of the background, not replacement and alterations, etc. How to get RID of a black background?

okay, changed one of the video clips to alpha over and the other under

@@davidmcsween you did a good job I am a learning novice, thank you
tysm bro before i used a other tutorial but it was soo glitchy but this not ty
I tried it my best as per the tutorial, after applying gossian filter, channel 0 and channel 2 both displaying black object. i dont know why?
It could be that the way Blender assigns alpha has changed. A lot of the VSE has changed lately, sorry.

Is there a way to get rid of those?

i would've really loved using blender as my editor too but its playback is just too damn slow in my pc and thats not good thing when editing.

This was 2.91 I've downloaded 2.92 today for some tracking tests, I'll see if it's better now
Thank you!
