Insert green screen image

What is the best way to insert a green screen image into a normal jpeg image? Will iphoto do it or do I need another photo editing program. I believe i may be able to do it with imovie but don't want to make it overly complicated. I could use either my ipad with ios or older white macbook with OS X 10.7.5 (best it can do) to do this.

This is compositing and iPhoto doesn't do that. You'll need an external editor:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How can I decrease the size of a green-screened image relative to its background image?

In iMovie 9.0.9 if it possible to reduce the size of a green-screen image relative to the size of its background image? Using KenBurns and Crop I can somewhat enlarge the green-screen image. But is there any way(s) to shrink it?

I gave you the answer:

I did not write that you should zip.
I wrote UNzip it. And have look into the package, what is inside which is causing the size.

How do I reposition an inserted green screen clip into a corner of the host clip

Help needed on moving or repositioning an inserted green screen clip to a corner of a host clip for presentation purposes, any ideas ??? Thanks

You can drag and drop a photo at any point (at any frame... 30 frames per second.) Make sure you go to iMovie Preferences and enable Advanced Tools. You can drop a photo, and a pop up menu will come up. Choose Cutaway from the menu.
Further you can use drag and drop to select a range of frames, and then split the clip.
For example, lets say I have a clip of 60 frames (or 2 seconds).
I can drag so that the yellow border covers the first 30 frames. Then right-click/Split Clip. (Or EDIT/Split Clip.
I then have two virtual clips in the project. (Note: the underlying clip in the Event has not changed).
I recommend you watch the [Video Tutorials|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies>
Or see [Ken Stone's Tutorial|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html]

Eliminating Noise on Green Screen Images

Are there any tricks (or plug-ins) to eliminate noise on images that are keyed into green screen scenes? I'm getting some noise on dark suit jackets.

I have the same problem with green screen, I usually just go to video settings and change the white point to something orange/yellow

Inserting green screen person into scene

Is there any technique to use when you insert a person that you have shot on green screen into a scene to make it appear more real? When I do insert them, they appear to be in front of the scene, just wondering how to make them look like PART of the scene.
Thanks

ruez,
I shoot and edit green screen footage all the time. Early on I realized that FCE or FCP could not give me the results I needed. I purchased a third party program called dvMattepro3. Check it out at dvgarage.com and see if it could work for you. The demo is free to download and try before you buy. For me the $199 price was worth every penny. There may be other solutions, but this is fast and really easy use.
Good luck

Why is my Green Screen Image Overlaying Over The Video?

So, at first, I thought it was the lighting, or my green screen wasn't unwrinkled enough. I'd made some other videos in the past without any problem, so, figured, it was fine. Instead I get this
What's happening, what can I do to fix it, and how do I start getting the software working right? Thank You!

looks for me, that poor lil' iMovie interprets the blue gradient at some values as 'green'.
or vice versa
The consumer tool iMovie offers, for convenience, no manual calibration of a color-key ... just auto-mode.
Try with another replacement, for a start in red…

IMovie: Green screen option disappears?

Hi I recently started using the green screen sollution iMoive provides, and it works alright.
BUT! after putting at bg image and a green screen image together something weird happens, if I decide to put extra bg material after the sequence or erase everything and start over in the same project, the green screen option disappears. together with the insert picture in picture aso. why does it do that.? anyone else has that problem?

Hi
And Advanced tools still ON - or did it go to OFF also ?
I would try - Create a new User-Account and log into this and see if iMovie behaves. This forces Your Mac to create ALL pref. files as New - and if all works OK now then this indicates where to find the problem.

GREEN SCREEN WITH VIDEOS ON IE AND MOZILLA

I have a Desktop HP with Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1, 64 bits with an ATI Radeon 4500, catalyst 13.1.
Java (8.0.250) and Flash Player (15.0.0.189) with automatic update option.
Videos on IE11 and Firefox 30.0 give me an green screen image with sound.
I have reinstalled the all thing, partially, fully, and no result at all!
There is no option for disabling hardware acceleration, and I think it would be, if possible, a poor solution.
Yes, I have executed the very celebrated solution uninstalling the 2 windows updates (KB2735855 and KB2750841) and the blindness remains.
Hope the industry publicize a fix for this very soon; it is a disturbing problem at several levels and, once again, I am considering seriously passing all my professional profile for a Linux environment.

I don't know how old the videos or the converter is, however a few years ago and that maybe generous both Microsoft and Apple had an mp4 format and they were not compatible with each other. Eventually Apply won because of the h.264 codec. It was better quality and compressed better.
If it plays in other programs, then the codec has to be there in one form or another. It could be that quicktime uses it internal codecs and photoshop is looking for those installed on your computer. (guessing)
There use to be a small program that would read a video file and tell you what the codec is. I don't recall the name at the moment but a quick search on download.com by cnet should provide a link if it is still available and for your current computer. (whether it has been updated or not)
On the same site, you can search for codecs. Be wary installing them, not all are up to par. There are some people who have other intentions for the codecs than what they were written for. Some require that the codecs be used for personal use only unless you pay them a fee which could be a high amount in some cases.
Use google and bing to search the author to see if there are any complaints.
However if you are able to convert them to another format, then go ahead as long as it works and you don't have to deal with con-artists and high fees.
That said, it doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen I have read complaints about it.

IPhoto Slideshow images will not burn to DVD -- Green Screen

I'm trying to burn a slideshow I created in iPhoto '09 to a DVD using iDVD '09. The first few time I've done this, everything burns properly, including the DVD menu. When I select the "play" button to play the slideshow, the music that I originally entered plays correctly; however, the screen is completely green and none of the images appear.
Slideshow has 136 pictures and three songs from my iTunes library. The menu in iDVD has no music and only one pictures, using a previously loaded theme from the default options. I am burning the slideshow to 16:9 ratio, NTSC, best performance.
I have tried creating using the autoplay upon dvd insert option, which still did not work. Same green screen with slideshow music playing. I am currently trying to export the slideshow as quicktime movie then adding that to the project.
PLEASE help. Any ideas appreciated.

I did search apple's KB again but that's the only article I could find on Green Screen so I posted it to the forum for reference purposes only....
Sorry it failed to help. I'll ask around for other suggestions and if anything comes up I'll post back.
DRM is certainly a possibility as suggested above even though I've not seen it attached/related to an issue of this nature (lines yes, but rarely the entire screen).

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.

Green Screen when insert dvd on macbook pro

Ok so im trying to instal SL on my mac but each time i get the clean disc and try again error... Btw is a brand new cd that works because i installed on anothe macbook. So after trying o make a copy and failing i inserted a dvd to see if it was the cd (didnt know that the cd wasnt bad at that time) or not. So when the dvd started running all i get is a green screen, tried another movie and the samething. Is my disk drive bad? Can buying lense cleaner fix this or is it beyond fixing?

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running.
A little history and circumstance is also helpful.

Green screen filter and scaling down distorts image?

I captured footage from Digital Video Camcorder NTSC ZR30 MC (standard definition camera 2001?) through firewire connection. Footage was recorded in 12 bit rate. Captured in equivalent DV NTSC 32 kHz. Edited the footage using green screen, scaled down to about a quarter of the frame and used oval shape video generator.
Using FCP 0.6. After rendering all edited footage, it plays back digitally distorted (digital lines constructing the image are out of sync). When exported through Quick Time Movie the image remains distorted.
What can be the cause of that?
Please help,
Hazel

When you slow down footage you are creating frames where there were none before. I'd suggest you do this in a two step process:
1. Slow down your footage and render it. export selfcontained movie, do not recompress all frames.
2. re-import the slowed down footage and apply green screen filter.

When keying a green screen shot, the image being keyed goes a little out of focus when the effect is applied. How do you keep it sharp?

When keying a green screen shot, the primary image goes slightly out of focus when the effect is placed. What am I doing wrong??

Make a letterbox in Photoshop -two black stripes and a hole in the middle, place it on a higher video track.

What is the correct method of removing a green screen background to insert a new digital background?

I am using Photoshop Elements 10 and can't seem to remove the green screen correctly. When I select the "magic wand" and click on the green screen background it selects it as it should. But when I hit the delete button on my keyboard it deletes the green background but a white background remains. So when I go to select my image to drag it to my digital background the white background goes with it.
In the tutorial video I watched it shows a grey and white checkered background after deleting the green screen which allows the user to select and move only the image to the new digital background. I am following the steps exactly but still can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

I don't know about 10 but in In PSE 8 there is a "Magic Extractor" ( ALT+SHIFT+CTRL+V) (on the mainu it's under Image ) which makes waaay too easy to seperate a selection from the background
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/8.0/Win/Using/WS083AC514-D907-483b-84A1-4EA3 989C4C65_WIN.html
As already mentioned, the trick with the "background layer" is to right click on it in Layers and use "Layer from background"This will turn it into a "regular layer".
Then add a another new layer and on this new layer paste your cut-out you created earlier using the magic extractor.
