Green Screen

Due to the weather forecast today I have not done any filming outside today, so I have been practicing using the green screen. I took a few shots in front of the green screen and downloaded them to my Mac. I then put the footage into final cut. After putting the footage into final cut I got a background image that I could use, this was a view of grass and flowers.

To remember how to use the green screen I am going to write down a step-by-step guide on how to use the green screen in final cut.

1. Add your footage to the final cut timeline at the top.
2. Add a seperate image on the timeline underneath the clip.
3. Click on the clip and use image and wideframe to move your clip around to fit the background image.
4. Once on the clip, go to effects and video filters.
5. Go down to key and select chroma keyer.
6. Click chroma keyer (in the viewer screen) and use the pipet tool to select the green screen. (Using shift to select more than one section)
7. Then use the three toolbars at the bottom to soften the edges around the person to remove the green outline.
