Green screen


Green screen is another editing technique. The point of this is to make the character look like they are somewhere when in reality they are just standing in front of a colored screen. Weather Reporters are known to use this.

  1. Film your character/characters in front of a green screen which can also be blue.
  2. In final cut pro move your footage onto the timeline.
  3. Select footage and go into effects-video filters-key-chroma keyer 
  4. From your browser drag your photo onto the timeline preferably underneath your footage.
  5. Select footage and go on chroma keyer 
  6. Click on eye droper tool this will key out a colour
  7. Select the green from the screen, most of the colour should then key out.
  8. Holding down shift key keep pressing the tool to help take out more green.
  9. Drag out the colour bar out till all the green has disappeared 
  10. Drag out softener bar to take the pixelation away.
