If you could see the green screen? How important is Green Screen Software/Chroma Key Software and technique to the magic of movies? Take a look.

Ok i have been into photo and video editing for a few years now and working without a green screen can be so hard sometimes so i finally thought i have to get a green screen kit, I know i will need lighting too.

So i guess the question i’m asking is should i buy one of these green screen kits off ebay like the ones that say 6m x 9m kit with lighting, bulbs and AC.

I am willing to spend around £200 that’s around $325 for the americans who can help too!.

So for £200 or $325 what green screen kit should i buy, I can maybe go £50 ($82) either way.

Making videos will require the best lighting possible especially when you are producing green screen videos, as you will be doing things indoor. I suggest you try LED Lights to do the lighting. They are cheap, last a very long time and gives you a very bright light.

You can different color as well or get the white lights and cover them with different color sheets.

For my photo class we are doing a 2 minute long green screen project.
I will be speaking while still images or videos are placed on the screen behind me.

I don’t know what to do this project on.
We were given options such as:
A city
top five songs
A place ( cedar point,…)

I just want to do something cool but I don’t know what to do it on.I have to be shown on screen 5 times minimum.

Do it on your favorite sport/hobby or something like that.
pictures of you performs that sport or hobby.
hope this helps!
and good luck

How do you make movies w/ green screen/chroma-key…i mean does the CAMERA matter, or the PC software. Can i just go out and buy a green screen & software for greenscreen, & keep my hard drive camera or what??? I’m guessing the camera has nothing to do with it. PLEASE HELP…

The way green screen chroma key work has nothing ot do with the camera. Once you have shot the footage and input it into your computer you will use the chroma key function in the software to replace the all the green with another shot. KNowing this make sure anything you want to be in the shot (wardrobe, props, etc. not be green or you will have wierd shapes of the background coming through on your shot.

so, it is not a necessary function in your camera all though some camera do have this function, but I wouldn’t use it.

Also, when you are shooting on green screen becareful of your lighting, becasue if you bounce some of the green screen back on your actors or props that will get washed out when you use the chroma key effect also.

Hope that helps, good luck.

I’m 13 and I’m really in to photography.
I want to know where I can buy a good green screen in stores around New York.
Please don’t tell me to buy paint and make one myself because I don’t have the time to.

If that’s not possible, then what do you recommend?

I’ve heard a whole bunch of people on Yahoo! Answers talk about several programs- some of them including Adobe Premier, Studio 11, and Pinnacle. What software is best for Green Screen/Chroma Keying, and what ‘green screen’ do you all suggest?

I currently have Intervideo Windvd Creator and Windows Movie Maker but they don’t have a green screen editor, as far as my knowledge extends.

Also, what are my background choices? Can I just input any image file and cut out the actors?

Thanks for everyone’s help- I’m making a movie and wondering what the Yahoo! Community has to say about programs. I don’t want to spend money on a program that is no good for my purpose.

Thanks again!
Thanks! That is helpful. Anyone else? ALL help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Best Answer is still up for grabs
Also- if I was to get Pinnacle, what version would I get? Plus? Ultimate? Studio?
Any more suggestions? How is a green sheet instead of a screen? Would that work?
How effective is the software Video Studio 11 by Corel?

Pinnacle is good. Its easy to use and you can choose anything you want as a background. You can also use more than just the green. You can also use a blue. I would suggest that you use paint or some really flat fabric. There are many web sites you can get the exact color for green screen.

Here is a great place to buy the paint http://www.filmtools.com/rosgreendigp.html

Hope it all works out

Does any1 know the green screen pixel color used in photography? E.g. for ‘pure’ green: the red, green, blue value is (0, 255, 0).

It’s not a specific color from what I’ve read. It’s usually a color that you can easily pick out of the scene. If you NEED to have someone wear a green shirt for example you wouldn’t use a green background.

I am not talking about the chroma key process itself. I know how to do that. What I would like to know is what program the weather people use to generate the weather maps and graphics themselves… and show them on air. They can do all sorts of zooms and other neat things. I would like a program that can do that.

The best thing for you to do if your that interested in the way the weather is done is to take classes in it and get into this yourself. People don’t usually know something like this unless they do it themselves. Go ask the weather channels or something.

to be specific i am looking for a car background that i could use on photo booth. like they do in the shows. i want to know how to use backgrounds without getting a green screen, so i thought of photo booth. the only problem is i don’t know how to make new moving backgrounds. HELP ME!! any sites??

I don’t

Something like a green screen just as a background for close up portraits. Something like Mitchell Davis uses (Look at portraits. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mitchelldavisphotography/show/)? Would I be able to use just like a white sheet? Please help me out!
