Using 2 green screen clips and need to resize as one

I am using 2 green screen clips - one is a prop and the other shows kids.  I have successfully loaded both into the Premiere timeline.  I would like for the two to act as one so that I can resize them at the same time so I can zoom in on the kids.   How do I link/group/??? them so they can be resized at the same time.   Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thank you.   Nesting worked and allowed me to zoom in.

  • Strange problem when editing green screen clips

    Hi all,
    I work as a technician in a High School.
    Recently I was doing some green screen work with a class, we were using 10 macbooks to edit. Out of the 10, 6 had this same problem;
    At some point after inserting the green screen clips and the background, the project part of the iMovie window stops displaying anything, iMovie acts like the clips are still there though (If I move the cursor over the now empty space, I still see a preview in the preview window). But nothing is visible and nothing can be moved or changed.
    Closing iMovie and reopening doesn't work, restarting the macbook doesn't work. The problem seems to be saved to the project file, if I open a new project, the new project is fine, but if I re-open the broken one, it's still broken. The only thing we could do was completely restart and delete the project file.
    I hope this makes sense, due to this problem half of the class couldn't finish their work. The same problem has also occurred to another student who was working with green screen in iMovie 09 on an iMac.

    Hi Ted,
    I've seen this issue before. One thing to remember is that iMovie has a live rendering feature, so sometimes during playback, the viewer does not always display correctly.
    I don't know if you tried taking the green screen clip out, then re-adding it.
    Also, trying to simply delete the preference file can fix the problem. Home folder>library>pref>imovie.plist
    delete that and see if the problem persists.
    Doing this will not effect any projects students have made in iMovie.

  • Can you crop, resize and move a clip using green screen?

    This is what I'm trying to do:
    Film an outdoor shot of a mountain in the distance, then film myself in front of a green screen pretending to climb. Crop that "climbing clip" ...reduce the size, and move it so it looks like I'm climbing the mountain.
    I'm hoping this is possible with the express version of Final Cut... even better if it was possible with iMovie HD.
    Thanks!
    Spence

    Hi Spencer,
    Yes, you should be able to do it in FCE. You would have to play with the green screen clip in wireframe mode in the Canvas to resize & move it. Probably can't be done in iMovie.

  • I need help using Ultra Key on a green screen clip.

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CC to edit a blue screen clip, however, once I apply the Ultra key to the clip, I notice that when I start to render (using Adobe Media Encorder CC), the top part of the green screen clip gets blocked (cut off) by the replacement background! I have tried different backgrounds but I keep getting the same chest-to-head level blocked off with the background. When I remove the Ultra Key and render the
    clip with it's green screen, then it renders just fine! BELOW IS A SCREEN SHOT OF MY PROBLEM.
    Help!!
    Thanks, Dru

    Today 2014.2 was released. Might want ot update.

  • Is there a way to apply all adjustments to a clip when using green screen effects?

    I use imovie '11 and I shoot a lot of videos using a green screen. Once I import my videos into imovie, I then place a background image into the project and then I drag the video clip over the background and select green screen. I usually then have to crop the clip so I am centered within the frame, and I also have to adjust the colors manually since sometimes with a greenscreen the colors can be a bit off.
    My problem is this, how can I apply all video adjustments that I made to one clip, to all the other clips without having to do each one manually?
    Currently when I crop a clip and edit the colors, then I copy it and go to paste adjustments, 'video' and 'video effect' are grayed out, however, it lets me do all the others. Does imovie not let you paste video effects to other clips that are in green screen mode? I tested it with two regular clips that are not in green screen mode and it works fine.

    As always there's a trick using copy and paste.
    Once you got all the adjust correct on the first clip. Go to Edit > Copy. It's as though you were going to paste it back into the project, only now the trick is to highlight all the clips that also will need these same adjustmust (hold down the Command key, and just click on each one). Then go Edit > Paste Adjustments...>All. That wil apply each of the adjustments to the whole batch of video clips you had highlighted in the previous step.

  • How can I put transitions btw clips that both use green screen?

    Seems that when I drop the transition between the clips (between the backgrounds -- it won't let me drop the transition between the videos shot with the green screen), it then pushes the green screened video clips together, and the transition doesn't play at all!

    iMovie does all rendering in one pass. This effect would require a nested render, which FCP excels at.
    If you want to do this in iMovie, do the first green screen clip. Share it using Export Using QuickTime in Apple Intermediatae Codec. Do the same with the second green screen clip. Then import both clips into an iMovie event. Now you can drag both these clips into a project and put a transition between them.

  • How to use Green Screen option?

    Sorry this is such a general question, but I have very limited internet access here at work (can't even access Google) and I would like to figure this out before I leave for the day so I can grab what I need on the way home.
    We are making weekly comical "newscast" type videos, and we have been using PhotoBooth to make it look like we are in a news room.
    I would like to stop using PhotoBooth (due to the obvious extreme limitations in video/audio quality) and use the green screen option in iMovie 09.
    Would anybody be so kind as to give a brief couple of paragraphs on the best way to accomplish this?
    I have seen the option pop up when inserting a clip on top of another, but which one is the footage/image to replace the green area... the original clip or the overlayed clip?
    And is there a specific shade/type of green that works best? Or can I just pick up a dozen yards of general "crayola" green fabric to cover a wall?

    I have tried but haven't had much luck. Although I am having a problem with Snow Leopard and iMovie right now. That may be affecting my success. Here are the instructions out of iMovie help.
    To use green-screen effects to superimpose video:
    Record video in front of a solid green backdrop, and then import it into iMovie.
    When you record, for best results do the following:
    Use a pure (highly saturated) color of green for the backdrop.
    The best color of green to use is often called “chroma key green” in paint and cloth.
    Make sure the subject doesn’t have any green clothing, and don’t include anything green in the shot, other than the backdrop.
    If possible, use multiple lighting sources to eliminate shadows on the subject being recorded.
    Include a moment at the end of the recording with the subject out of the frame. This indicates to iMovie what should be left out when the video is superimposed.
    Choose iMovie > Preferences, click General, and then make sure Show Advanced Tools is selected.
    In the Event Browser, select video that you recorded in front of the green backdrop.
    Drag the selection directly over a clip in your project (video, solid color, or animated background clip), and release the mouse button when the cursor displays a green plus sign .
    Choose Green Screen from the list of options that appears.
    The green-screen clip appears with a green border around it above the video clip in your project. You can drag it to a different spot to reposition it, or drag the ends to lengthen or shorten it.
    To more effectively mask areas of the green-screen clip, select the clip in your project, in the viewer click Cropped, and then drag the handles at the top of the viewer to more tightly enclose the subject of the video.
    Anything outside the highlighted area in the green-screen clip is removed from the picture. Be sure not to crop out areas that the subject moves into at any point during the green-screen clip.
    To produce a better-quality effect, double-click the green-screen clip in your project to open the inspector, then select “Subtract last frame.” iMovie uses information in the last frame to determine what to subtract from the finished clip.
    Selecting “Subtract last frame” works only if you included a moment at the end of the green-screen footage with the subject completely out of the frame.
    To watch the clip, click the Play Clip button in the viewer.

  • 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>

  • Imovie 9 green screen -- audio and video editing problems

    I seem to have discovered that once you add a video (the "front" part) to a background using green screen, you can no longer do certain edits on the front part's audio or video.
    I tried to do a manual audio fade on a certain clip, and it didn't work.   Now I am trying to bring the entire audio for a certain clip down to zero, and even though the little speaker icon shows no sound waves, normal 100% sound is coming from the clip.
    Likewise with the video.  I tried to do a Split Clip on the front part and it simply didn't work.
    Anybody have some words of wisdom?  Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion Brad, that makes sense... However, I was hoping there was a "straight" iMovie solution.
    I'd prefer to not have to 1) spend any money and 2) use a program to do something iMovie is already supposed to do.

  • Why don't green screen clips snap together in imovie 11?

    I film hundreds of green screen videos per year. I used to use imovie09, and when dragging one green screen clip next to another they would snap together. Now that I upgraded to imovie 11, it no longer allows you to snap the clips together, you have the cut the background in between them. Is there anyway to get these green screen clips to snap together like they used to in imovie09?

    Well, now I'm even more confused.  I exported my iMovie project from my Mac Book Pro to my iMac and it worked perfectly.   Then I exported the same project to my Mac Book Air and it worked fine.    But when I go back to my Mac Book Pro - green screen effect simply shows as black and non transparent.   So, I have a work around but am puzzled why my Mac Book Pro doesn't work.   All systems on updated version of Lion and all have latest version of iMovie '11.   My Mac Book Pro is a mid 2009 - 2.8 Core 2 Duo and curious if anyone else has experienced this.

  • Completely White screen when using green screen

    I have successfully used the Green Screen feature in the past but I am having some problems with it now. When I drop a Green Screen clip onto a back ground the play back shows no image and the screen is completely white. What is happening and how do I correct it?

    Many thanks for this - I had checked them previously, but switched off, unplugged everything and then reconnected - all up and working again. Best Rgds

  • 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.

  • Green Screen works - replace green screen clip - nothing....

    iMovie 09 8.0.6. (821)
    Seems like once I delete a green-screen clip from a background, I cannot replace it with another green screen clip.
    I created the background clip. Created the green-screen clip by importing a Quicktime movie of an animation. Imported the movie. Dropped green on background - worked perfectly.
    I deleted the green screen clip from above the background clip. Exited the project. Made a modification in the origin green-screen clip. Returned to the project Imported the modified Quicktime movie. Dropped it on the background. Got the + sign. Everything seemed okay. However. The green-screen does not appear.
    As a test, I dropped it on a different clip in the same project - worked perfectly.
    Seems like once I delete a green-screen clip from a background, I cannot replace it with another green screen clip.

    It looks as though they used the keyed out torso as a track matte for the other footage.
