A few important things to know before using a green screen.
First, make sure not to wear green! 😂
Next, understand that the green screen can only be applied to one camera angle. The reason is simple: the background you'll apply is a 2D image, whereas using multiple cameras requires a 3D space!
Finally, be careful about light contamination in the room. You don't want green reflecting on your face or clothes.
On the wall behind you (when you're looking at the teleprompter) is a set of screens that you can lower using the chains. Lower the green screen.
Once lowered, load the "Green Screen" preset from the interface to manage the lights.
If you want to change your background during editing, you can stop following this guide here. You're ready to record! If you want to replace your background while recording (useful for live streams), proceed to step 2.
I've configured a preset that automatically replaces the background! Simply click on the "Green Screen" preset available on the Stream Deck.
If there's noise in the image, you may need to adjust the light intensity. Refer to the images below to see what to do and not to do!
The background is full of noise!
Perfect!
The lights are too strong and there's bleed. 😟
After testing and using this feature, I've concluded that there are 2 simple ways to use the Green Screen.
The first is to use the MultiView option to overlay the main shot with the background image.
The second is to use the Overlay option to overlay the main shot onto output 1.
