Green Screen Video not working audio working

Hey everyone I just installed imovie 09 and I'm having issues with the green screen effect. I know it's probably one button that I can't find, but never the less I need some help. I followed the instructions to the T to use the effect and I even made a green back drop. The problem is when I overlay that clip on top of the background clip the video goes bye bye, but I can still hear all the audio from the clip. Can someone help?

Have you turned on Advanced Tools in iMovie Preferences?
When you drag and drop your greenscreen footage onto your background video (or photo), do you get a pop-up contextual menu that lets you choose green screen?

  • I can't play videos (youtube for example) unless it is in full screen mode. The audio works in either, but the video only shows in full screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't play videos (you tube for example) except in full screen mode. The audio works in either, but the video doesn't load or run in the normal you tube web site.

    Also, the error console shows all sorts of different errors. Though, alot of error parsing values.

    OK. I misstated this. I have a number of Smart Mailboxes with their specific rules in which to route certain topics to specify mailboxes. I am trying to not have to create each Smart Mailbox on each computer.
    The problem is that when I am on the road I add contacts, bookmarks, keychain items, contacts into my laptop and vice versa when home. I would just like to have those Sync on both computers. Seems like it should be easy, but it hasn't been.
    I really don't think I have anything "non-standard." A few Smart Mailboxes, a couple of signatures, thats pretty much it.

  • Best settings for Green Screen Video with Canon Mark iii

    HI
    What are the ideal camera settings for Green screen video.
    Iso?
    aperature?
    Depth of field settings (best to have the green screen a bit out of focus?)
    Any other camera settings would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Rowby

    Hi Rowby!
    Thanks so much for writing in about green screen shooting with the EOS 5D Mark III camera.  Green screen shooting can come down to some crucial elements and how well you handle the camera and the lighting.  
    Arguably the most important thing is to have excellent lighting on the screen.  Without this, the keys used to replace the green screen will not be accurate.  So hopefully you have a good set of lights you will be using to actually light the physical screen. 
    With regards to ISO, shoot as low as possible.  We suggest that you stick in the ISO 200-400 range where possible.  With good, high key, proper lighting on the screen this shouldn't be an issue. 
    Aperture should actually be in the higher end of the range, you would want to stick to apertures around f/8 and above.  Again, with adequate lighting this shouldn't be out of reach.  This is so the green screen is more in focus, versus having it out of focus, which would not yield successful results. 
    Use an appropriate lens to the subject, for example if you are doing wide shots- use only the focal length needed for the shoot and no wider.  For head shots, close ups- use a lens that will get you close. 
    Following these suggestions should give you some pretty good results.  Remember, if this is your first attempt don't be discouraged, green screen shooting can be difficult to accomplish. 
    We wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!

  • Marking green screen video to know where to place background images

    My students want to create short green screen movies using a number of background photos that will change as they talk about their topic. How can they mark their green screen video so they will know where to place each photo?  We are using iMovie 11.  Thanks

    If that's the case.  You don't need green screen at all.
    You can shoot the students framed in such a way as to allow room for the photos and then use Picture in Picture.
    Here's a how-to from the MacMost site.  It's for iMovie '09 but is essentially the same for iMovie '11.

  • Green screen video resizing/moving up/down/left /right on background shot

    When using green screen in Imovie is it possible to re position your green screen footage on the background ie:- up/down/left/right and also resize ?
    many thanks for any help on this.

    I haven't found any, though one can use crop or ken burns effects. I am sure there is a trick, like exporting the green screen video into keynote or something, but I haven't found a way in iMovie.

  • Green screen video work flow. Premiere or AE?

    Hi all. I have a TON of green screen footage that i need to slice together in quick cuts between one clip to the next. but I want to animate the transitions, have one green screen shot fly in from the back, and the next fly in from the top, etc.
    I haven't managed to figure out the best work flow for this - should I clip the footage in Premiere first, then export every single clip to AE? Or does AE have some trimming abilities?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    With that one, first try the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section of the following document:

  • Problems with Full Screen Video not always working

    Strange thing here. I just installed iTunes 7. Then I downloaded a movie to try it out. Now, I was under the impression that on the bottom left hand corner where the "Add to Playlist", "Shuffle" etc buttons are, there was supposed to be a "Full Screen" button for when theres a video playing there. There isn't such a button. But, maybe I was mistaken. At any rate, I start a movie. I click on it to bring it into a small seperate window, then click inside that for full screan, and...nothing. Just sound. No picture. So I shut iTunes down, tried again...and this time it worked. So I paused the movie, reduced the screen size, then went to full again ...nothing but black and sound. I set the preferences to "Full Screen". Again, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't . I don't know if something is wrong here, or if I'm missing something.
    I have Quicktime 7 pro, and it's all running on an AMD 3500+ (2.2 ghx) with Dual 6600GT SLI video cards (128mb of RAM each)with 2 GB of system RAM

    to hilandzs and all if wanting to play videos, movies etc in itunes so that they FILL the screen , then go into system preferences - displays - resolution - and click on 1024 x 768 stretch ( i use 15.4 inch macbook pro and this works for me ) it may be another setting for other size monitors.
    Or the media player VLC has an option were you can choose the aspect ratio and this will FILL the screen again for me it was 16:10 aspect but this may vary. The aspect ratio option in this player is Excellent and should be a standard feature on all players.

  • Green screen keying not working?

    Hey I am messing around with green screening and on my computer at home it was working fine.
    Now (with the same footage) at my school campus.  When I apply keying and select a color... nothing happens.
    I tried moving every slider in the inspector and some things changed (brightness/color) but the "green" never went away.
    Anyone know why this may be?

    I just tried it again on different footage that was working last week here on my school computer and nothing.
    I am running my project off of a usb 3 flash drive if that helps on final cut 10.0.9

  • Can Final Cut Express 3.5 work with green screen video?

    Forgive my lack of technical terms but I am interested in my next FCE project being a bit more technical with some animations done in front of a green screen. Can FCE "erase" the green so I can overlay it to another background and or movie?
    Cheers,

    Hi Lori.
    In case you need some more practical advice:-
    FCE has several different filters built in for Green and Blue Screen work.
    FCE can also be used for animation and compositing.

  • Please help!!! first green screen, now "itunes has stopped working"

    Hi, please, anyone - I need help
    I have a dell laptop running windows Vista
    about 2 days ago, all of a sudden itunes refused to play my TV shows (which I have a lot of, probabely about $500 worth!). At first it just displayed either a green screen, or a black screen, and then it came up with an error message saying "Itunes has stopped working"
    So, I thought ha! I'll simply re-install the operating system. At first that did the job, but now its happening all over again! its the exact same thing
    Could someone please offer me some advice, I have tried changing Quicktime to the safe mode - but to no avail, I just dont know what to do!
    Cheers in advance for your help
    P.S Do you have these problems with Mac's?

    I too have this problem and posted the following elsewhere--still no help from anyone. Thankfully I only bought 1 tv show from them and it will be my last until something or someone gives.
    Hope someone either can help or refer me to a past posting of someone else having this same problem.
    Why am I seeing the color green instead of the tv show I purchased? What most likely is missing on a person's computer when someone sees a green screen? Sound is fine, but the picture is a solid green screen.
    I have an S3 Savage Pro 32MB AGP Video component.

  • Can't Video Chat, but Audio Works Great

    Hey guys....I have been trying my hardest to get my IChat video feature up and running.
    The audio works great when conferencing and obviously the im works fine. Myself and the person I am trying to video chat with both are using AIM through IChat. Here is the error message I am getting -
    2009-04-06 13:53:14 -0400: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
    Audio channel info: local machine using 192.168.1.3:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 173.66.213.133:16402
    Video channel info: local machine using 192.168.1.3:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 173.66.213.133:16402
    If I restart my IChat and send a video chat invitation I can initially see the person on the other end. But, the picture then freezes (almost instantly) and then I get the error message.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Two possible things.
    1) Go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and set the speed to 1.5Mbps and relaunch iChat so it "sees" the new speed.
    2) Check your modem/router for any DoS (Denial of Service) or SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) feature and turn it Off.
    Examples
    Netgears have either DOS or SPI in the WAN Page
    Netopias have this Feature as part of the Firewall when you use a setting higher than Low.
    Linksys tend to have the same in the firewall in the Security tab.
    Basically they can be anywhere in the set up pages as the manufacturers never put them in the same place.
    Both features examine incoming data to see if it is an attack.
    In an iChat video chat so much data can be sent from higher speed processors over high speed inter net connections that it is regarded by DOS as a attack.
    SPI tries to evaluate the validity of the data and tend to get overwhelmed (Simplified view).
    192.168.1.3 looks more like an IP from a Linksys than the other two examples.
