Editing Green Screen Video Filmora 9 

Filmora 9


What is compositing simply put compositing is when you take two or more clips and you combine it into one that’s how green or blue screen works so you want to see how we achieve this effect let’s get started let’s say you want to composite these two clips together.

The first clip is with your actor performing in front of a green screen the second clip is your background footage first you want to place your background footage in the first track anything you place above this track will be shown above it if you have many tracks stacked on top of each other the top one will be the one in the foreground and the bottom one will be the one in the back next.

We will place the green screen and blue screen footage on the track above now that we have the clips aligned we will use the chroma key to get rid of the green screen you can do this by right-clicking on the clip in the timeline selecting green screen and checking the chroma key green screen feature after that you could tweak the setting until it looks right offset tolerance and alpha channel allows.

You to adjust the clarity of your background while edge thickness and edge feather enable you to fix the edges of your subjects I think this looks pretty good you will often find that your frame will capture a part of your set that isn’t a part of the subject or the green screen as you can see here in the example there is stuff in the frame that you don’t need you cannot key it out.

But you also don’t want it in your final video here’s how you do it right-click on your green screen footage in the timeline then select crop and zoom here you can crop out the extra space or the object by grabbing one of the corners and adjusting it so that it is out of the frame after that playback the video and make sure your subject never leaves the new smaller area that you have propped once it looks good click OK there you go I hope you go out and make some green and blue screen videos.
