iMovie 11 adds BLUE screen. Why? It’s just another option
No need to do this in iMovie 10.0.3
It’s not this hard!!
The Process:
1. Get your background (still or video or B roll)
2. Shoot the green screen footage with reference to the background (i.e. right, left or center)
3. Upload as normal
4. The tricky part: Put the BACKGROUND IN FIRST! It WILL fail if you do it the other way.
5. Clean it up, watch for artifacts and adjust exposure/contrast
Doing it backwards: If you put green first
NOT what you want
RULE: BACKGROUND THEN GREENSCREEN
Insert the background FIRST
Insert the overlay clip! Pick Green Screen
When it’s RIGHT!
To clean up your green screen
Last Tips
If your camera has autofocus, turn it off
USE A TRIPOD
Don’t move the camera
The background won’t move....so the camera shouldn’t
It ruins the fantasy
The camera will “hunt” to focus
In general, closer is better
Go green screen!
