What tip would you like to add ? (or criticize) Let's make that a 1001 Tips video so that we can all learn together !

I'd add using precomp with high contrasted rec709 with keylight in "screen matte" view mode as a lumma matte for a raw footage layer below. It's my "plan B" when greenscreen is really bad

[@jetfu400]

Wait i thought you switched to da vinci resolve? Why are you giving example using premiere?

WTF!!! I was just setting up my green screen and it fell down exactly like this 10 mins ago. I hated myself and cancelled shooting and came back to youtube to watch some videos & this is the first one I saw!! What a coincidence 😂😂💔 I can't believe it .. hope your lights are safe man!

The green sd card tip LMFAOO

[@MrGamerChoi]

"90% of the time of fixing stuff in post-production can be avoided ( by proper lighting )" As a compositor myself, I was almost in tear hearing that. You know how it feels when you received footage with uneven lit lighting and windy green screen.

[@EdwinvandenAkker]

As a backlight I used a magenta filter quite often. Magenta = Blue and Red. Combined with the green bleed, the color shifts more towards the white. It helped me a lot in creating cleaner keys.

[@DodaGarcia]

Awesome video, there's only one part I would recommend caution with, which is tip 76 - shooting vertically in order to fit more of the subject in. It sounds intuitive and I used that technique for a video, but as it turns out that makes it a lot harder in post production to match the perspective because the part you're more likely to want in the final frame (the talent's face, for example) will look like it was shot from below because in the vertical frame it was way above the horizon line.

[@LarbiDiGooner]

This is honestly one of the most underrated videos I've seen.

[@ChandraSekhar-sd7rq]

Pretty easy explanation with extraordinarily practical visuals. Thanks a million man.

[@Hegenbrecht]

My tip: In some cases you do not need a green screen. For example, for very short scenes, it is sometimes enough to cut out the actor with the Rotobrush-Tool in After Effects. This can be faster than the whole greenscreen setup.

[@TheRaeffel]

I loved how you slipped in your little jokes!

[@PeterJansen]

101: Download Nuke 102: Do the alpha key and the despill separately. 103: split the alpha key into core + edge mattes. 104: Garbage mattes can be keyed with another keyer or roto'd (masked). 105: Use the IBK keyer in Nuke over keylight in most circumstances. 106: Use the clean screen from the IBK colour to drive other stuff, for example you can divide the plate by the clean screen to get a image where the screen is white, and also has eliminated all wrinkles/imperfections. You can then multiply this over your background to get more hair detail. 107: Use additive keyer tools. 108: Don't avoid shooting 180 degree shutter, put the extra effort into making the motion blur look good instead. It's a lot easier with Nuke. 109: Avoid shooting in 4:2:2 or lower, and if you have to, a luma key will give you better edges if a chroma key falls apart. 110: Sometimes just grading one of the colour channels will give the best key for a specific region. 111: Watch Tony Lyons keying tutorials on youtube. 112: Use DasGrain gizmo to correctly reintroduce grain, even in despilled areas where the colour has changed significantly. 113: Learn some basic despill equations, heres one: g > (r+b)/2 ? (r+b)/2 : g. This is saying, if the value of green is greater than the average of red and blue, make green the average of red and blue, otherwise, keep the incoming green colour. 114: If you have control over the luma of the background, try make it as close to the screen luma as possible, to aid in integrating edges. 115: You can use an edge detect to despill edges separately. 116: If in quite a pickle, you can use an edge detect + vector generator + vector blur to add more motion blur to the edges of a keyed element. Use sparingly... 117: Use lightwraps (preferably physical exponential glows) to integrate edges where bright objects are behind the keyed subject. 118: Sometimes you just have to roto masks for selective grades/colour corrects/despills. 119: Sometimes you just have to bust out a roto or rotopaint node to fill holes in the matte. 120: Make sure the field of view of the background being added in matches the fov from the key footage (use the same focal length). 121: I have more but I'm tired and need to go to bed, good night.

Silly tip. If you decide to paint your green screen and include painting the floor, make sure the staff has a clean pair of shoes. Also, if you have a dedicated chroma room, consider having one side for green, and the other for blue.

[@zebrazone]

Nice one !

[@leglier59]

@@zebrazone Hubby and I work in our churches puppet ministry. Aka we film and direct it... we are considering going from blue screen to green, and possibly painting one side of the room blue and the other green. So happy to see this comment and it isn't considered totally crazy! With puppets it is hard to know sometimes what story line we may be getting into. Hence the toying with the idea of changing the whole setup this Summer! Thanks for the videos!

[@GuidoGautsch]

I did my last green screen shoot with a GH4 and shot it in 4K h.264 and it brought AE to its knees! It barely played back and exports took hours. For the second shoot, I switch to all-intra HD AND rather than round-tripping between AE and Premiere, I did it all in Resolve, using DeltaKey in Fusion. Not only looked the results a lot better, exports went from 10 hours to 10 minutes for 20-minute clips!!

THANK YOU! You also have locked me in for about 6+ hours of repeat watching, to make sure I didn't miss anything. Shared with me Editor too! I will repeat watch this and save it to my playlist! YES! What an AWESoME video with tips that I wish I had 11 years ago, 9 years ago, and NOW! Mistakes I made already; not enough lights, not the right balance of lights, washed the green screen (work with animals.. had to!, might want to paint a wall instead) then being able to edit and know the extent the editing software can do to manipulate the green screen....and even more, not being able to run or render the content because the CPU couldn't keep up, and to mention a silly one, ordering a freaking green screen the size of the Earth and deal with wrinkles for life! Lastly, not having enough people to help get the work done, overworked is an understatement when creating and maintaining a channel. Thank you again! Great video!

Excellent tips. I'm a curious cat so I will ask the following questions below. Some of the effects I ask below could be achieved in post/software but....what could be done more easily with screen. I'd like to see the following tips covered in an upcoming episode. - how to "iron" out the wrinkles in cheap green screen (in case you can't stretch it enough) - what are top 3 "brands" of greenscreen (so many $300 kits with lights are so cheap and come folded & wrinkled) - how can you add a air blower on subject without making the screen flutter - how best to transport screen for mobile shoots (I assume you roll it and don't fold it) - show more unusual uses like "pouring" green liquid in a cup or opening door in greenscreen wall exposing a real object - unusual shots with greenscreen body suit or shooting greenscreen paint at a wall for possible splatter shot scenes - wearing green fx contact lenses to expose zombie eye look or some unusual effect as subject faces camera thanks I cut my screen since it was massive and my room doesn't allow for it (its also much cheaper and thinner than I expected)

[@DanielDroegeShow]

If you want to keep your background, you can still use a green screen. Take a picture of your background from the perspective of your webcam. Put that on the green screen and add your effects such as blur for depth of field, lighting, and even equipment you can't actually afford. Never have to tidy up before recording again!
