Green screen syncing problem

I shot two cameras for green screen editing but one of the operators zoomed and panned so the key is good but when the camera zooms it looks like the subjects are floating, any idea how to synchronize the foreground to background

Hopefully there is something in your frame that is fixed that you can track for scale and rotation. The procedure would be to stop all the camera movement by stabilizing the footage then perform your key then scale as necessary to fix the framing problem. And by stabilize, I do not mean warp stabilize. That will do you know good and cannot work on the green screen anyway. I mean you lock in scale and rotation so that something, like the actors torso, does not moved in the frame at all. Only then do you have a chance of removing the offensive motion. If you could post the shot then I could give you some ideas. I have had to do this several times because of inexperienced camera operators. I always felt like sending them a bill.

  • G"Green Screen" codec problem viewing podcast videos in full screen! HELP!

    I love the show "Surface" on NBC so I decided to download the first pilot episode #101 to iTunes for Windows on my computer. When I go to "full screen" mode to watch the program it goes to a "green screen" washout that is common when Quicktime is installed whether the version 1.68 alternative or the Apple Quicktime. How do I solve this common known problem?

    I have the same problem, anything I try to do in full screen just pops right back down to the previous screen. If I play a video I can hear it, but I can't see it.

  • Green Screen Edge Problem

    Wondering if anyone out there has dealt with this. I am keying a subject on a green screen. Full body wide shot of subject walking towards camera. I've spent hours tweaking the Chroma Key filter but I can't get those edges right. The edges around the subject appear jaggy, just how pixels look like in a picture in photoshop when you are zoomed in, and I still see green. I've softened the edges but that just gives the subject wiggles on the edges as she moves.
    Ive watched tutorials but none mention something like this. Any tips appreciated. Thanks for any help.

  • Synced movie playing as blank green screen

    I recently synced several movies to my iPad, but one of them just plays as a blank green screen with sound. It plays correctly on my laptop. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks.

    I suspect there may be some corruption in the movie that prevent it's playing on the iPad. If you have GoodReader installed see if that will play it. If not I would try to get another coy of the movie and try again. Alternately, you might want to try converting the movie using a program such as HandBrake for the Mac.

  • 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?

  • Hp pavilion all-in-one green screen problems

    I purchased a brand new 23 inch HP pavilion all-in-one, set it up and used it for 3 or 4 days but kept getting GREEN SCREENS on face book videos and other websites...had to reboot constantly to correct the problem but after a few hours it returns. I phoned the store & they said it was a defective computer, so I packed it all up & returned it to the store & got the EXACT SAME COMPUTER & now I'm having the identical problem, so I phoned HP & a technician did some minor changes, rebooted it thru remote access and said 'there all fixed' but later that day the problem returned AGAIN. I heard this issue is due to INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN FLASH & WINDOWS 7/8, so either windows needs to fix it...or HP needs to fix it...PLEASE HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS so we don't have to reboot constantly!

    Hello again @Nordic4U,
    Actually if you restart and the problem goes away temporarily then I suspect that you have a 3rd party application making a change that is causing this issue. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 8), which will walk you through disabling all non-Microsoft Services and your Startup Items. If the problem goes away at this point then we know you have a 3rd party application causing your issue.
    Now you need to narrow it down till you find the problem. You can do this by enabling 50% of the Services and see if the issue is still fixed. If it is you know it is not one of them and you can continue enabling the Services and Startup Itmes until you indentify what is causing your issue.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • IMovie "green screen" feature has serious problems.

    I precisely followed the iMovie "help" instructions to make a green screen effect for what should have been a simple iMovie project... a 10-second video tagline for closing titles on a much more extensive project.
    According to iMovie help, it should have been easy (and maybe even fun). It wasn't. Five hours of my life melted away forever. The iMovie "green screen" feature has serious problems. Remember that old Mac advertising campaign that said "It just works"? Well, it doesn't. Shame on Apple and the iMovie development team.
    See low-resolution QuickTime movies and more details here:

    Folks,
    I ran into the same issue (I named it "transparent green screen", I hadn't a better name).
    I spent about a week to solve this problem, since I needed it to build a marriage slideshow.
    The tools & Config:
    iMovie 09, iPhoto 09, Adobe After Effects CS4
    Mac OS X 10.6.2, MacBook Pro 13" 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM
    The Solution for the "transparent green screen":
    I created a movie in AE, and put a green background into it. It was the pure green color.
    When I imported the movie into iMovie I just got the "transparent green screen", not the real effect.
    I some cases, by changing the background images, I could get the green screen to work, but it was kind of random. Which made it harder to solve it.
    I thought it could be because of AE, some incompatibility. I went to Youtube and downloaded a green screen video (a woman dancing in a green background). I inserted the video into iMovie, and it worked just fine, all the way.
    Then I tried to match the green color I was creating digitally with the Youtube video's green color. It didn't work either. The "transparent" effect was there again.
    But when I looked at that Youtube video, I noticed that the green color was not pure. Because that green background was made in the real world, it was not pure, there were some shades of green.
    Well, I just replicated that into the digital world. Modified my video's digital green background. From pure green to a gradient green, but very subtle, almost imperceptible. Just to replicate the "imperfection from the real world".
    That was it. Solved. Maybe iMovie 09 needs that imperfection to work well. Using "pure greens" might confuses it.
    Please do your tests. And let me know your results.
    Regards and greetings from Brazil.

  • ISight Green Screen Problem: Temporary SOLUTION

    If you have been experiencing a "green screen" with iSight in Photo Booth (and camera not working in other programs...there is a temporary solution.
    The solution is to SHUT DOWN your machine (NOT just restart). Turn your machine back on....your iSight will start working agian. Now this may be extremely annoying but the best thing yo u can do is continue to harrass Apple until they release a software update for this problem.
    Hope this information helps.

      I have a NEW (refurbished) mac!If your Mac is VERY new, you can contact the retailer who sold it to you and ask them to fix it. This is particularly important if you have ANY other problems with your refurb'd unit.
    If you want to try on your own first, here are some ideas you can pursue.
    If you performed the update to 10.4.6, did you use the Combo Updater and a method like How I Update My Mac OS X? If not, applying the Combo with that technique may help you.
    When you got your new Mac, did you erase the hard drive and reinstall the software before you started using it? Over the years, this has become part of my standard practice for assuring Macintosh System Stability.
    Finally, in addition to Apple Article 302679, Apple Article 302520 also deals with green screen issues. You can check that.

  • The Green Screen and Video Problems

    Hello,
    I've read through the issues and answers on this topic but some of the things are working and some not.  For isntance, I was able to resolve one of my issues with some other fixes I had found through general online forums for the "green" screen which plays with only audio.  It seems to be working for me on you tube but not on Facebook anymore alhtough Facebook videos worked the first time around when I rebooted.
    What I did was go into my internet options and under accelerated graphics I ticked use software rendering instead of...
    and under the security tab I ticked enable 64 bit processes in enhanced protected...  Should the Enhanced protected mode be enabled as well then?  Should I tick that option.
    I also treid to do what the answers recommended...such as right clicking on the video in Facebook when it is playing and while I do get a pop up I get settings options or global settings and adobe flash player info...clicking on settings gives me options but none for the "display", only for my microphone, camera and storage.  If I click on global settings, it takes me to flash player help.  And last option I get my version of Adobe info, which is version 13.00.214.  So no option to untick disable accelerated graphics cause I think I've done this in control panel already.
    But now why it is working with youtube and not with Facebook videos  I also tried to play some home videos like wmv files and other video files in my windows media flash player and there I get a black screen but still audio plays.
    My computer is an HP Pavillion Notebook PC and it came with Windows 8.1 already installed.  My Graphics Display adapter is an AMD Radeon R5 Graphics Card.
    So what the heck do I do now.  Should I install newer Adode Player?  Even when unticking the accelerated graphis option, this is really not a solution to the deeper problem and issue, because then it slows down your graphics?  
    My computer is not even a week old and I hate having to always download fixes and constant updates and spend hours researching and trying to fix a problem that really should not occur to begin with.  Why are there so many glitches with Windows?  Is this a problem related with windows updates as well.  Active X controls?  Compatibility isuses with 64 bit processes.  Should I use Firefox.  I did that with my old HP which finally kicked the bucket and that is why I had to buy a new one.  I had to replace my battery before even a year and my warranty battery did not last that long either and then the thing finally overheated and died.  But I had lots of similar things happen before with last HP laptop so is it Windows or is it HP or is it browsers, players? 
    I am sorry if I am unloading on you...I don't mean too but it is just soooo frustrating as a consumer to have to always go through these kinds of things.  I use my laptop for self employment so please help!!!!!
    Thanks for letting me vent..  I would appreciate your help, thank you.

    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I am sorry you have experience any issues.  I have looked into your issue with the Video issues.
    Have you uninstalled Internet Explorer?
    Have you tried Google Chrome?
    It already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available. Adobe are on version 15. Here is a spot to update. This does have a link to Google Chrome as well.
    Here is a link to common Flashplayer issues.
    I would try a system restore as this would undo any changes that might have happened with a Microsoft update. Sometimes they have not finished or been installed on the Notebook.
    Hope this helps you.
