Green Screen Ball

I am trying to green screen a moving tennis ball so that it looks like a glowing orange piece of the sun. The tennis ball is being held by different people who are walking around carrying it in their hand. The camera is focused on the tennis ball the whole time. I tried using chroma keyer but doesn't seem to pick up the tennis ball very well as it's moving.
Any ideas on how to achieve this glowing ball effect?

You can do tracking and match-moving in Motion.
When chroma-keying in FCP, be sure to insert a Chroma Smoothing Filter
before your keyer: 4:1:1 for DV, 4:2:2 for DVCPRO HD.
If the tennis ball is white, you might have better luck with a lumakey.
The manual has some solid advice on keying, including how to use
mattes to simplify your work.
Of course, if the ball is yellow and the people are light-skinned,
it may be impossible to pull a good key. In that case, tracking in
Motion is your best bet.
In fact, the Primatte keyer in Motion is WAY better than FCP's keyers.
Just do the whole thing (keying, tracking, glow effect) in Motion.

  • Unable to green screen help please

    hi.
    i'm trying to use the green screen feature with little success.
    i have created a red bouncing ball on green background.mov animation to overlay over a background.
    all goes well until it come to the actual overlayering and i'm left with a lightened ball and darkened background instead of a removed green background and a red ball.
    any hints as to where i'm going wrong?

    Green screen works when you film a video using a camcorder in front of a green background. After importing this video into iMovie, you can drag and drop it on another video or photo and the green background will disappear. I don't think it works as you are using it.

  • How do i use my own image with keying (or green screen)

    how do i use my own image witrh keying (or green screen)

    Put your sky clip on a layer below the clip you want to key. One or the other will be a connected clip. Apply  the Keying filter to foreground clip (the one with the green screen). The green will be seen as transparent and the sky will show through as the BG. Adjust as necessary in the Inspector.
    Good luck.

  • Please answer once and for all the boot green screen

    I have searched everywhere for an answer since my issue.
    Relevant info:
    iPhone 3GS.
    iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (2012-09-12).
    Doesn't matter what system I have since this is related to an iPhone device.
    Fully charged battery before proceeding with the update.
    Updated the iOS 5.1.1 of the iPhone to iOS 6.0 through required update recommendation of iTunes.
    Never been abused, jailbroken, serviced or dropped. (never had issues until the update)
    Once completed the updated process of iTunes and iPhone was done with the internal installation, the iPhone rebooted with a green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It loaded up to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
    I pressed on the power button for 5 seconds and slide "slide to power off" and the iPhone turned off. I waited about 15 seconds and pressed on the power button to turn the iPhone back on, hoping no more green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" but returned to the original green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver".
    Failed!
    It still showed green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" and booted to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
    Remedies tried after searching the internet:
    Hard Restart/Reset.
    DFU Mode. (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
    Recovery Mode (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
    Recovery from Backup is denied because previous version was iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes refuses the process so (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
    Left the iPhone at the Configure screen until battery drained and then plugged it back into the USB port of system until it charged long enough for the iPhone to boot yet again green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It booted to the iPhone Configure screen which is still the green screen/hue and I left it charging until battery icon top right showed full.
    Now, can someone give a straight answer while staying on this topic about this issue, please?
    *I can understand if the apple logo was green then it could be a screen issue but it is not the case.
    All help is greatly appreciated even if you took the time to read all of this but did not answer.
    Thank you!

    I made a CF/Flex site based on the Flexstore sample app,
    using a database instead of XML as the data source; in case you
    want to see it:
    http://www.timos.com/dg/flex/DilemmaGames.html
    At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
    initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
    yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
    upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
    whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
    If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be
    glad to make my project code available to you. Good luck.

  • HDCam to DVCPro HD Green screen---best way to go?

    Green screen shoot on HDCam 29.97p. No have HDCam ability. Should I:
    -send out for dub to DVCPro HD and then either
    -capture by firewire from 1200A Panny deck
    or
    -from AJA card by HD SDI?
    Will either give acceptable results?
    Or gonna have to bite the bullet and send tape and a hard drive
    somewhere and have HDCam captured to get acceptable
    stuff to composite with?
    Thanks in advance.
    p2

    If you dub it to DVCPROHD, that's where the "damage" is done... so won't make any difference capturing thru HD SDI or FireWire quality wise... But stay at 1080... don't go down to 720... as long as that machine of yours plays back 1080... better look into that for sure.
    It should still be OK though as far as the green screening ability because it's still in a 4:2:2 colorspace.
    That said, If you could capture from the HDCAM via SDI and go to ProRes... you'd be better off in theory.

  • 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:

  • Green Screen Problems, Please Help!

    I'm experiencing problems with the greenscreen effects of iMovie 09. I really need help. What happens is when I drag the clip ontop of the other clip, I click green screen. Then play the clip and see just a few reen dots, not the green screen footage. If you need a link to the footage its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAFMRKsoX5E. Please help, as this is one of the main reasons I bought a Mac.

    the material you're linking to is in a .flv container (and downloading it violates the ToU of YouTube, just to mention that )
    after re-wrapping it into a suitable format, works like charme:
    … aside missing drop shadows, wrong perspective, missing highlights, 
    and somehow the dino is a lil' bit 'opaque' 
    how or into what did you convert the t-rex.flv?

  • Why do I get a green screen on all of my videos in Mozilla (YouTube, Facebook, etc.)

    I have read the forums regarding this issue on Internet Explorer, but I do not know how to fix the issue on Firefox, which is my preferred browser.  All videos have audio but there is no video, just a green screen.  :-(  Also, is there a different fix for IE other than disabling hardware acceleration?  The videos are so blurry with that fix.  Thanks for the help!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Video card for HD and green screen

    I use a windows XP64 based machine with a quad core I7 920 processor and 12 gigs of RAM with nVidia 260 card. I use CS3. Right now I am having severe crash issues in Premeire CS3.
    I do HD 1080i video editing with up to 4 layers of green screen. I currently use Adobe AE Keylight2 for my greenscreen work. I bring the files into Premeire with "Dynamic Link". I crash, and crash, and crash. What is my best option to prevent crashing. A Quadro video card? which one? . Or, Matrox Max. My budget is somewhat limited. I can't get both. I want to upgrade to CS5 but need to fix this problem, now.
    Sincere thanx to anyone who can help

    I appreciate the quick answer and am considering moving to Windows

  • Can't figure out why green screen is pixelating!

    I had terrible problems with square pixelating on my production.
    any ideas on what caused this... we played with saturations all day with no effect. I did have a empty green "last frame". It seemed nothing we could do would help!
    I filmed with a Sony DCR-SR68 HandyCam in the highest quality and the background I chose from a Free Use source for greenscreen back grounds online.
    I hope you can give me some insight here...every tutorial i have watched made green screen in iMovie look very simple... and yet we could not figure out why this pixelation was occurring!
    reasons i wondered about:
    green screen is too light?
    ...however i have seen screens look a lot worse and work
    something to do with how i am filming?
    ...i realized that "facial recognition" was turned on which caused the camera shot
    to move a little as i moved
    am i too close to screen?
    ...i was about a foot away from screen (but no shadows) and camera was about a yard in front of
    me
    if anyone wants same rendering or screen shots let me know and I can email some!
    Let me know what you think and if you need anymore info!
    Thanks in advance for all your help!

  • Shadows on a green screen

    Hello
    Recently i saw a clip where the main character was dancing against a white background (i.e. green screen )
    curiously there was a black silhouette of the same character kind of mimicking her- like shadow but not in sync. How do you achieve this effect?
    many  thanks,
    Peter

    … How do you achieve this effect?…
    you need two recordings:
    Dance act #1 (could be done in front of an infinite white, or green screen)
    Dance act #2.(has to be done in a green screen)
    'Color correct' act#1 to be a black silhouette
    use this as background for Dance Act #2 ....
    => elaborated effect, can not be accomplished in iMovie, asks for FCPX ... sorry to say...

  • Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac?

    Can you do Green Screen/Blue Screen/Chroma Key on Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for mac?  If not, what are the alternatives?

    JimbobT
    ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, and BlueScreen Key are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
    Some suggest Videomerge as the alternative. I do not. But Videomerge is not THE alternative.
    Instead, I prefer the Difference Matte as a substitute for the 3 absent keying effects. Please check out my blog post on that which includes
    the how to.
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-difference-matte-as-substitute-for.html
    The suggestion has met with good results according to the feedback that I have gotten to this.
    I am strictly a Premiere Elements Windows user who does not prefer Videomerge even in Windows.
    Please review, consider, and let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.
