Fine tuning Green Screen

Hi,
i have got down to this on my green screen work but there is a shadow which causes the green screen to be visable a tiny bit at the side of the cards.

is there any way to go through this footage frame by frame and take out the green in the shadow? it's only 25 frames long......
thanks

If you have CS3, Photoshop Extended can open QuickTime movies and you can use the standard editing tools to fix that. You don't mention if your camera (footage) moves.
As far as green screen goes, usually you'll have to add multiple copies of the key tool and focus on specific areas to get the best key. What tool are you using, Motion's built in? I use DV Matte Blast from DV Garage and it works great. Works in Final Cut too (FX Plug).

IMovie 10.0.8 Event Footage Not Sync'd After Green Screen Conversion

I am using iMovie on a 2013 Late Macbook Pro 13" Retina 2.4 GHz iCore i5, 8GB RAM., Intel Iris 1536 MB. I record on Canon 1080p 30 fps MXP. The event footage plays fine with green screen (GS) background. But when I create a Movie and first add background then event footage and convert to GS to replace GS with picked background, the video eventually gets out of sync with the video.
Thx

Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.

Why do some videos play fine on Facebook while others have only audio with a green screen?

Why do some videos play fine on Facebook while others have only audio with a green screen?

Hi,
Green screens are almost always indicative of a video driver issue. Could you please post the contents of your "Display Devices" section after generating a DXDiag report?
What is a Dxdiag report and how do I run one?
I suspect you might have an out of date video driver. This FAQ can help you learn the steps required to update:
Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?
Finally, if the driver update does not help, try disabling hardware acceleration using the steps outlined here:

Refining Green Screen Workflow

Hail! Working on a local tech show and would like some assistance in fine tuning a workflow for faster and better post production. So far here’s the process:
Green Screen shoot with 7D
Edit 7D MOV files without converting
Trimmed clips are individually DLinked to AE for keying and compositing as needed
Render MPEG2(50mbps) from AE and set as proxy(so that I have a smoother playback with the AE files on the timeline)
Fine tune and export for delivery.
Currently only able to work from 1 media drive and 3 USB 3.0 external drives.
The experience hasn't been fun having only 3 days to work on each 26-28 min
Any and every suggestion/methods welcomed.

Do you need to see what's in the green to edit? Might be easier to edit the native media, then open the whole edited project in AE for keying and other effects, and then final export.

Green screen, downlading files and updating programs often stuck at 99%.

Okey so I have got this problem for a 20 days, since I build my own computer. Some videos on youtube and other video stream sites bug out in the way that the video just goes green, and starts fast forwarding. Then I think streams on twitch.tv for example, I cant watch a stream for longer than 20 second and the video gets frozen and the stream needs to be refreshed. And updating games, downloading files often gets stuck at very end of the progress, and it wont succesfully download or update. Im not sure is it about Flash Player/Shockwave Player but if there doesnt come example green screen it may show something like you are missing add-on Flashplayer but when i refresh the page it may run the video fine for some time.
The problem rarely happens at youtube but heres one where it happened Crs Piglet (Vayne) first ever NA Penta - YouTube
Heres video where the video didnt start at all and aswell when it did the screen gone green again and fast forward. (contains adds) http://www.thevideo.me/kmqcwhblzheh
Heres screenshots and one bad quality phone photo album of these problems, green screens, videos stuck, downloading stuck and updating stuck 99-100%. Imgur
Heres my computer specs:
My operating system is:          Microsoft Windows: 8.1 Pro, 64-bit
Processor:                             Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Graphic card:                         Nvidia GeForce GTX 760     Driver updated to: Geforce Game Ready Driver 347.52.
Memory (ram):                       8GB
Motherboard:                         MAXIMUS VII RANGER
Dont know what else info I could put on about my computer really... I have tried to find answer, like disabling hardware acceleration, deleting flashplayer memory file, safe modes and all kind of tips I as able to find from internet.
And I use mozilla firefox (36.0), but the problems happens aswell in Internet Explorer. I have updated Flash Player (16,0,0,305), my drivers (Geforce Game Ready Driver 347.52), all windows updates, java(1.8.0?), but still cant find the answer why watching videos/streams work well.
Im sorry if I missed some info but ask if theres something.

The green screen means that hardware decoding has failed. It's probably a subtle, intermittent driver bug.
You can disable hardware acceleration in Flash to avoid this while you wait for updated drivers to become available:

The dreaded "green screen"

This is really bizarre, and I'm very confused as to why this is happening. iChat is allowing audio to go through, but the built in iSight is not working. When I open Photo Booth, all I get is the green screen. I downloaded the update Apple suggested, and still, no luck. The weird thing is the camera works fine on Yahoo! Messenger for Mac...any suggestions?

Hi David,
If Jan's suggestions does not work they try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist in /Users/(your Account)/Library/Preferences and restarting ichat

Camera video preview - Random crashes and green screens

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a Windows Phone 8.1 app and I need to preview video from the phone's back camera. For quite some time I've been struggling with random crashes and green screens. When these green screens appear, all camera apps become affected and
the device needs to be restarted. Occasionally the phone freezes and only recovers after battery removal. I test the app on my Lumia 620.
After some web search, I found references to the same problem by many users/developers of different apps. I'm really frustrated as I've tried many possible solutions with no avail.
Here is part of my code:
//in App.xaml.cs:
MediaCaptureInitializationSettings settings;
public static MediaCapture captureMgr;
public static bool UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
public async Task InitializeVideoCapture()
DeviceInformation backWebcam = await GetCameraDeviceInfoAsync(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back);
if(captureMgr!=null) captureMgr.Dispose();
captureMgr = new MediaCapture();
settings = new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings();
settings.StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video;
settings.PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.VideoPreview;
settings.AudioDeviceId = "";
if (backWebcam != null)
settings.VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id;
else
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Back panel camera not found");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
try
await captureMgr.InitializeAsync(settings);
captureMgr.SetPreviewRotation(VideoRotation.Clockwise90Degrees);
UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
catch
UnableToInitializeCamera = true;
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: camera could not be initialized");
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Unable to initialize camera");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
protected override async void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
//.... other app initialization code
await InitializeVideoCapture();
Window.Current.Activate();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
AppIsResuming = true;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5));//this makes crashes less frequent
await InitializeVideoCapture();
FinishedCameraInitialize = true;
if(WasPreviewingCamera)
WasPreviewingCamera = false; //the following line allows time for SetupPage._captureElement to be assigned before video preview starts while (!SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
try
Debug.WriteLine("trying to restart video preview");
await captureMgr.StartPreviewAsync();
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = true;
catch
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: unable to start previewing");
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
GC.Collect();
AppIsResuming = false;
private async void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
while (AppIsResuming) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));//prevents crash when app is suspended right after it is resumed
await CleanupCaptureResources();
TimeOfLastSuspend = DateTime.Now;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
public async Task CleanupCaptureResources()
if (SetupPage.PreviewingCamera)
await captureMgr.StopPreviewAsync();
WasPreviewingCamera = true;
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
else WasPreviewingCamera = false;
if (captureMgr != null) captureMgr.Dispose();
//in SetupPage.xaml.cs
void OnSuspending(object sender, Windows.ApplicationModel.SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
_captureElement.Source = null;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = true;
while (!App.FinishedCameraInitialize) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
App.FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
captureElement.Source = App.captureMgr;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = true;
GC.Collect();
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = false;
Any help towards a solution will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I will also advice that you start by following the
Windows Store app sample.
Is this a Windows Phone app?
The crash/green screen only manifests itself when I suspend my app and switch to the default camera app (could be any other camera app perhaps). It happens roughly 1 out of 8 times. That's why I posted the suspension and resuming handlers, which I wrote
according to the msdn instructions.
I found
this page with a sample that demonstrates the MediaCapture API for Windows Phone. Some developers have reported problems similar as mine. Has Microsoft dealt with this issue?
I've spent quite a few weeks trying to investigate this problem, without actually knowing if it is my code that needs to be debugged. That's why I'm asking if other developers are facing similar problems.
Thank you
Edit: It seems that the crash/green screen can appear when suspending/switching to any app (regardless if it uses the camera or not). Also, all works fine when the app is running on the debugger.

IMovie 11 green screen - audio of the video in foreground won't play

Elementary teacher. Groups of students are creating movies and adding green screen effects to videos. In more than one group, the audio begins fine, but as the group edits (over the course of a day or two), eventually the audio in the foreground video stops playing. I see the audio waves, but do not hear the audio. When skimming the clip in the event library, the audio is fine. When the clip is reinserted, the audio plays. Nothing is ducked, muted or turned down.
Why are we losing the audio?

Thanks for the suggestion Brad, that makes sense... However, I was hoping there was a "straight" iMovie solution.
I'd prefer to not have to 1) spend any money and 2) use a program to do something iMovie is already supposed to do.

ISight green light is on, Photobooth shows green screen

Yeah, I started up my computer today and for some reason the camera light is on but I'm not even using it. I tried opening Photobooth so that I could quit it, and maybe the camera would go off, but Photobooth just shows a blank, green screen.
Anyone got any solutions?

Hey,
I had this issue awhile back too, I had no idea what caused it. I'm not sure if this is a real fix but I ran AHT(Apple Hardware Test) and it didn't find any issues, but after the test completed I booted up into OS X and everything was fine.
Intel-based Macs: Starting up into Apple Hardware Test
I have no idea if this is an actual real fix, but you can give it a try.
Heres a forum thread with the same issue: iSight Problem
Good Luck!

Nokia Lumia 928 camera & video has a green screen

I just recently got my new phone and the camera was working great as I have 5 kids and enjoy taking thier pictures and uploading them so family can see however this week when I attempted to take a photo the camera went to a green screen when I pressed the side camera button. I have not dropped or done anything to damage the phone so I am puzzled as to why it all of a sudden stopped working. I have only taken maybe 30 photos so far. I even went into the setting mode under applications to the photos + camera tab and reset the camera, uunfortunatly it did not help.
Does anyone know what can be done to fix this or what may help?

Power down the phone....press and hold the power button till you get the "Slide down to power off" screen, and power it off. Then restart it and you should be fine. It's happened to several (check other forums.... )
It happened to mine too, once since I've had it. A reboot fixes it and it hasn't happened since.

What has happened to the green screen feature in version 9.4? Where did it go?

I have a shiny new desktop Imac and tried to access the green screen feature in Imovie that works fine on ver 9.2 that I have installed on my laptop, only to find the option no longer exists. Did they remove it??

It's part of the 'Advanced Tools' in iMovie. I think Advanced tools is turned off in a new iMovie install. To turn it on:
Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences > Show Advanced Tools (make sure the box is checked)
When the advanced tools are turned on, you will see Green Screen appear as an option in the pop-up menu as you drag one video clip from your Events Library on top of any clip in your Project timeline.
