Where is the green screen keying effect in Premiere Elements 12 for Mac?

I have installed Premiere Elements 12 on My Mac, and I can't find the green screen keying effect in the efx window. Is this only available in the Windows version, or is it somewhere else in this version?

Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not come with ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key.
Videomerge is not a renaming of GreenScreen Key. It is just a substitute suggested by some for ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key that are not included in Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
If you want a substitute for ChromaKey, GreenScreen Key, or BlueScreen Key, I would suggest that you look at the Difference Matte under fx Effects/Keying/.
Please check out my how to on that.

It has gotten a lot of good feedback from Premiere Elements Mac users.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Where is the green screen key in Premier Elements 10 for Mac?

Anybody know where the green screen key feature is? Or how to edit green screen videos? Plenty of tutorials on YouTube but I can't find the Green Screen effect. Thanks.

There are some PrE Effects, that are only available on the PC, though not for the Mac, but I do not have a list handy,
I do not recall if Green Screen Keying might be one of them.
Perhaps our MOD, Steve Grisettin, who is fully X-platform, can comment.
Good luck,

What is the smartest way to apply green screen effects in premiere elements for mac?

Videomerge looks messy and difference matte kills the foreground and difference video entirely, leaving only the background

Mike Way Jr
What version of Premiere Elements are you using on your Mac computer?
Did you apply the Difference Matte write up that I posted? Many Premiere Elements Windows and Mac users have reported using the technique described for Green Screen.

I have not heard of any alternative for the Premiere Elements Mac user other than go Premiere Elements Windows.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Just not to take anything for granted, I ask "Have you reviewed your green screen prep work?"
Thank you.

I can't find the green screen key in the Effects menu in Adobe Premiere Elements 12

Is there anybody who can help me were I can find the green screen key in premiere element 12. According tutorial video's on You Tube there must be a green screen key in the effects menu under keying, but with me it doesn't seem to be there.

Thanks for the reply. Glad you asked. Please check out my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte, especially for the Premiere Elements Mac users who run into this Windows Only situation.

We are not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, I am not sure why these keying features are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
Please review and consider the above, and, if any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Where is the green screen effect in Elements 13 on a Mac

In the help manual they list different key options, such as blue and green screens. can not find them under keying for the Mac

There is no Green Screen, Blue Screen, or Chromakey in Premiere Elements Mac (in any version that I know of).
You should have Videomerge which some suggest for this type of effect. I do not.
Please look at the Difference Matte under fx Effects/Keying/

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Chroma key effect in Premiere Elements

If I buy Adobe Premiere Elements, am I able to use chroma key effect and receive a clean video free from green colour from the background, even around the hair? My experience is that it is not possible with cheaper programs.

peterwallgren
What computer operating system would you be running Premiere Elements on? If Mac, be advised that Mac does not have Chroma Key, Green Screen Key, or Blue Screen Key.
A lot of variables in the green screen videography and photography. Best download and install Premiere Elements 13 and determine if it works for you in green screen workflow.
Generalizing, I think it does a good job. But a generalization is not good enough when you get down to a specific setup with specific details.
We will be watching for your follow up if you decide to look at the Premiere Elements 13 Chroma Key effect (Expert workspace, fx Effects/Keying/Chroma Key).

Where is the 'Watch Folders' option in PSE 9 Organizer for Mac?

I'm sure it's right in front of my face, but I can't find it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Bob, thanks to you especially for your candor. I use Adobe products for both photography and graphic design. I have been a loyal PSE user since PSE 4, but I use Photoshop (started out with CS2, now up to CS5) for all of my editing. I only use PSE for my digital asset management. The reason I need watched folders is that any new files I create in CS5 are not automatically added to my catalog in PSE. I switched to a Mac 3 years ago and wasn't happy with any of the alternatives, so I have been using PSE for Mac since version 9. However, over the years, I have found that I don't always remember to go back into the PSE catalog to import after working on something in CS5, so my catalog is always missing some files. I have found a watched folder plugin for Lightroom that seems to work pretty seamlessly in the background, but I found Lightroom not nearly as intuitive to use when I bought LR2 a few years back. Plus, facial recognition is a big feature for me, and LR4 still lacks that. I guess that, for Mac users, there's really no one solution that works as well as PSE does for Windows users.
I guess I'll have to continue my search...Thanks again for your replies!

Can I use the songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use/film?

Can I use the default songs that come with adobe Premiere Elements for commercial use; such as in a film?

C. Raio
We are not Adobe here. Rather user to user.
In the threads that I have read here the following is the user to user reply on this matter that is seen regarding project assets....Music Scores in this case....
The Music Score soundtracks are from the Adobe Premiere Elements (12 or 13) Music Score selections within the program.
And, they can be used in the users choice of export. As for "authorship", I guess you would point to Adobe, Premiere Elements version, Music Score.
Would the evaluators settle for the above information?

Isolate lips--what face paint color should I use for best green screen keying effect?

Hello there! I am using Elements 11.
It sounds like I answered my question in my question. Green, right? But , face paint doesn't have the reflective, glossy quality that a true green screen would have. Does that change anything? Should I look for green face paint or would another color work better in this context?
Again, I'd like to isolate the lips of my subject. The shot will be a close-up, framed to where it only includes lips, chin and nose. Let me know if it'll help to provide a screenshot.
One more question... Once I've removed the background and isolated the lips, is it possible to move them around the frame discretely? Meaning, they appear here in bottom center and then suddenly appear in upper left corner?
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for replying AT!
I am using Mac version. Good question since I do NOT have Chromakey.
To help us along, I have uploaded a number of images from a test I did yesterday.
I am getting some results but they are imperfect.
I do believe my main issue has to do with a lack of uniform LIGHTING. As my subject's lips move, it creates shadows thus making it difficult for Elements to pick up the green.
I used Non-Red Key and then Garbage Matte to get the results that you see.
Thanks!

Color Match Effect in Premiere CS4 for Mac

So...how can I achieve this color match effect in Mac if it's only on the Windows version?
I need something that would be as simple as that one effect- matching colors and luminance between 2 clips using eyedroppers, I know I could spend hours of finicking in AE using different effects but I'm trying to find an easy path on MAC!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

I'm not sure if Magic Bullet has Colorista for the Mac, but that might be a starting point.
Sorry I just do not know the add-ons for Mac's.
Good luck,
Hunt

Where should the "English" Folder be in Master Suite CS4 for Mac

For some reason the English folder is sitting on my desktop. On my PC it is buried several folders down. It makes no sense but being mostly a PC person, I'm afraid to move the darn thing.
Can anyone help?
Cindy

Cindy what English folder exactly are you referring too? What is contained within this folder?

Green Screen keying real-time.

Hello, my boss is starting to do some green screen work. Besides little low-budget comedy skits, I don't know a professional work flow for this.
What tools (hardware/software) do I need to preview the green screen key while we are shooting. If I didn't word that correctly... While I'm shooting somebody in front of the green screen, how can I get a real-time preview of my background while shooting in real-time so I know the subject is in the right place and lit correctly.
We'll purchase moderately prices solutions or rent pricey solutions.
Thanks for your time!

What has happened to the green screen feature in version 9.4? Where did it go?

I have a shiny new desktop Imac and tried to access the green screen feature in Imovie that works fine on ver 9.2 that I have installed on my laptop, only to find the option no longer exists. Did they remove it??

It's part of the 'Advanced Tools' in iMovie. I think Advanced tools is turned off in a new iMovie install. To turn it on:
Go to the iMovie Menu > Preferences > Show Advanced Tools (make sure the box is checked)
When the advanced tools are turned on, you will see Green Screen appear as an option in the pop-up menu as you drag one video clip from your Events Library on top of any clip in your Project timeline.

Why is the green screen visible on the last frame before the next clip?

Hey guys!
Maybe I'm ******** but i m having trouble here. I have "key-ed" a bunch of clips and successfully removed the green screen from them. But when placed in the timeline, the green screen of the clip reappears for the single frame before a next clip starts.
I've re-rendered and chopped ends off but the green screen keeps appearing in the last frame of any keyed clip that is about to cut to a different clip.
Where am i going wrong?

Hey! I tried both suggestions but even the self contained quicktime file has the green screen frames popping up.
I just dont get it, it's infuriating!
I used "chroma keyer" effect on the clip, only enable "key on saturation", the green screen disappears, I place clip on V2 and image on V1. Image is then visible where the green screen was. All is well until the last frame before a next clip because on that ast frame the green screen appears again. Where am I going wrong? Please help!
