Green Screen and PE7

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had success (or any issues) doing Green Screen with PE7. I am going to buy a green screen kit from B&H. I know the lighting needs to be spot on, but beyond that, any tricks to the workflow?
Also, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful support I have recieved from this forum this year. Happy Holidays to all participants!!

How do you use green screen and picture in picture in iMoive at the same scene?

I understand how to do green screen and picture and picture... but how do you do it in the same sequence.. so when you are speaking with a background picture and you want to add a picture or a story within that picture... there has to be a way to do that..

That is a great idea! So I just do everything to the clip involving the green screen. Export it to, say my desktop. Then import it back into iMovie. Then I will be able to add a picture in picture? Fantastic! Thanks so much!

Green Screen and Photoshop Elements 11?

Hi. I have tried multiple ways to remove the green screen in photoshop elements. Being new to this program, I've found ways it was done in previous versions that don't appear to be in 11. The MagicWand doesn't get it all out (gotta love hair with green in between ). Is there an easy way to be able to put a digital background on?
Thanks!!

It appears I wasn't told the truth today by Adobe when I chatted with their rep on-line. I specifically asked "if Photoshop Elements 11 did Green Screen" and I was told "Yes". They even show it on the packaged version as I saw it in Fry's this morning. But there is no mention of this in the 'features' section on their website. Someone is playing games.
I then purposely purchased an upgrade to my version 10 to 11 to do green screens and feel I've now wasted $85.
I was wondering why Green Screen Wizard was selling a plug-in for PS Elements 11 if Adobe already had it in there. I guess I know the answer to that one also.

How to fix iPad that has a green screen and lags when you try watching videos

How do you fix your iPad when it has a green screen and it lags when you try to watch videos, such as from YouTube?
I tried to watch YouTube on Safari but it does not work, and the app version of YouTube does not work either. When the video is playing, it will start to turn green, and it will lag.
Please, I would really appreciate it if you can help me, because I really want to watch videos again.
Thank you very much!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help it is most likely a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an apple store to have the device examined by a technician.

Is there a way to green screen and do a picture in picture in iMovie

I was wondering if there was a way for me to be able to do a green screen and picture effect at the same time
Or in other words, is there a way to select two of these at once?

In short : No.
… but there's a workaround:
create a project with green screen first, export it, re-import it to iMovie, apply pic-in-pic ...
Or, dare the plunge to a professional tool, FCPX …

Whenever I log into Facebook and someone has sent me a video I get a green screen and I can't see the video. Please help.

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color) from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness. It also will remove spill based on this color. Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
Remove the Blue
1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune. Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
Remove Green
It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs. These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools. Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change more than the tolerance selection. Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

For some reason, even though I have advanced features checked, the menu with green screen and all those isn't popping up when I drag the video on top of another one.

Hi
I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
• Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library (exactly like this - space included)
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

Green screen and card

guys,
Ive done this before but i need to key out a green screen and green card what is the best way of doing this with best effect? Would motion or shake be better for this or should i stick with FCP?
Cheers
Dan

what you are probably seeing is compression artifacts causing edge chattering. the best, really only solution is to track a mask in to cut the hole rather then trying to key anything. of course if you could go back and reshoot and send the camera into something like a MXO2 and capture to ProRes / uncompressed would of been best, but nothing you can do now. the other problem is probably that the trackers aren't that good - something like mocha can eat thru this pretty easily. you may wind up doing this by hand.

Green screen and box locking up sometimes?

Hi All
Well we have had BT vision for 2 weeks now and are enjoying it but we have had a couple of problems.Sometimes while we are watching TV(freeview) the box reeboots and we get the BT vision start screen (blue) with boot count 01 in the bottom left corner.The sometimes we get a green screen and after about 5 minutes it reboots to the start screen.And then this morning it just locked up while my son was watching disney XD (picture frozen) and would not respond at all so I had to unplug the box and power it up again(reboot screen ,starting BT vision) and now it is working fine.Is this to be exspected or do we have a faulty box? Thanks in advance

All software is essentially in development we don't need to call it Beta. My Mac etc as does Windows or phones constantly are updated.
So it is with BTVision

Can I use two different greens for green screening and keep one without it being keyed out?

I am using a green screen which is your standard light green fabric.
I am also wearing a bottle green cape.
I want to key out the standard green which is no problem. However it also takes out the bottle green on my cape.
Is there a way on either Premiere Pro or After Effects to ensure the bottle green stays as it is without being automatically keyed out?
Many thanks.

There's your answer, most likely. I can think of a few methods you might try, but they're going to be labor intensive, and likely involve some roto.
Most keyers have a threshold setting that determines what colors stay and which ones go. You could keep tweaking that setting in very small increments, and if you get lucky, it might discriminate between two green values.
You might be able to precomp in Ae and use the Change Color plug to shift one of them to a more contrasty green or different hue altogether and create a luma matte.
But, you failed green screen 101, and you gotta' go to detention.
robodog, you're being a bit harsh on Jimmy Simon. He said "Might be worth a reshoot...." I can't disagree. Depending on arahman's situation, a reshoot might be easier and quicker. You never know.

Cannot see video, I get green screen and can only hear the contents

I've unintalled flash player and adobe shockwave and re-installed it again but I am getting the same problem. Video is not working. I dont know what to do.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about yourwith the Video not working correctly or green. Try clicking on the green screen, in the tab named Local Storage and put 10 KB and the green screen should disappear. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating as the graphic driver could need updating. Have you tried another browser? This link will help you update your browser if needed. Let me know how this goes. Thanks.

Re:CS5 and CS6:Green Screening and seperating audio

Would it be best to use Premier Pro or After Effects for green screening?
Also how do you seperate audio from a video, can it be done on Premier Pro?

Right click the clip in the timeline and click "unlink".

Green screen and video freezing while maximizing videos playing in iTunes?

After a year-and-a-half of seamless operation, iTunes started malfunctioning yesterday. When trying to play a video (either a TV show or a music video), the video will often freeze when I hit command-F to maximize. The audio keeps playing just fine. Sometimes I'm able to get the video running again by hitting escape and command-F a few times, and by hitting space bar repeatedly to pause and unpause. Before starting to work, iTunes displays a green screen for a half-second.
My system is at 10.5.8 and my iTunes is fully updated. My computer is an aluminum-unibody MacBook Pro 15".
I have tried turning the computer off for a while, reinstalling iTunes, and switching from discrete graphics to integrated graphics, all without any improvement. I doesn't happen every time I play a video or a TV show, but it does happen a majority of the time, and it often takes 10-20 seconds of fiddling to get the video to play.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.

I've been having the same problem as you Mitlov. This is one of the reasons I always get a bit leery about updating my current version of iTunes, iPhone, or iPod. Something always stops working amongst one or more of them. Two years ago I updated iPod and I remember it took a month before I could get the iPod to work again. If you hear about a fix for this problem (besides just buying Snow Leopard) please post it back in the discussions. There are a lot of people who will benefit from it!
