Hi everyone its Elliott from filmora 9 here to empower your inner video creator filming with the green screen is getting easier and easier anyone can do it but before you get started.
I want to share with you some do's and don'ts to help you get the best results ready start the timer there are many ways to set up a green screen but the most cost-efficient way is with a green fabric if you are using a green fabric as a DIY green screen then make sure. 

 You steam or iron it out whether you're taping it to a wall or hanging it off a rack don't leave any wrinkles will make lighting the green screen a nightmare and uneven lighting will leave you with shadows and disappointing results what you should also do is pull the green screen tight so you get a seamless background the better you do with the setup the easier will be the key it out later it doesn't matter how nice your green screen is if you don't light it properly.


You won't get good results when lighting a green screen be aware of these things make sure there are at least six feet of space between you and your green screen so you're not casting a shadow that cannot be keyed out later remember any shadow on the green screen is bad the lighting on the screen should be flat even and one-dimensional meaning don't place the screen leaning at an angle because they'll make it harder to light evenly do light yourself and your background separately this will ensure your subject wouldn't bleed into the green.

Which will create a halo around them after you key out the green screen and lighting on your subjects should emulate the lighting from your final footage for example if you know sunlight is coming from the left light your subject from bad direction once your footage is good to go into film or nine import it into your timeline then double-click it to find the chroma key menu.

But don't stop there clicking the chroma key button is not enough to guarantee perfectly keyed footage so do play around with the offset tolerance edge thickness and edge feather dials and adjust it to make sure your edit looks as good as possible and those are some quick do's and don'ts for creating great green screen videos what will you use the green screen to create next.
