Elgato Green Screen Review!

[@hamajineo]

I always love seeing new innovative products like these. Expensive or not, it's always great

[@laynewoodruff7502]

I feel like most of you are missing the point of this, this isn't for someone that either a) always had their green screen up or b) almost never uses it. It's more for someone in the middle or doesn't have the room for storing a green screen. After using green screens for a while yes, there are cheaper ones on amazon that are great but are a pain to set up or tear down. Then most of the stands (if you use them) take up a bunch of space. If you're a moderate green screen user or doesn't have much storage space this is for you. I might pick one up myself for the next time I need a smaller green screen like this one.

[@ShannonMorse]

Layne Woodruff this was exactly what I was feeling. I work in a professional studio everyday and have a home studio for hobby videos. This would be perfect for my small home studio and $150 for a professional fast setup that can be stored without damage is pro.

[@randomfrankp]

Exactly, but incoming close-minded 10 year olds who can't afford it so in their head, it's a "rip off" to them lol

[@laynewoodruff7502]

Shannon Morse Exactly, I make videos (this is my personal profile) and I rarely use the green screen. I mostly just use it for fun stuff with my friends, so having something like this for videos would be ideal.

[@laynewoodruff7502]

randomfrankp Exactly, plus most of them either don't own a green screen or don't know how to chroma key correctly. Either way I don't understand the hate, for the versatility it offers this seems like a decent deal.

[@jmcmahon1931]

You're just a shill mate, calling your audience that disagree with you close-minded 10 year olds, who's the mature one? Do some shopping and price matching for once. You never do a product/price comparison. At least the shopping channel doesn't try to pass it off as a product review.

[@RageElixir]

I hope to get one soon

[@michaelhall5801]

Fuck you RageElixir

[@EK1Gaming]

Just here to say - 3 years later I am still here supporting, Also your quality has been improved LOADS! PS. The price of this went up to 180 dollars now! Keep it up Frank, you are an inspiration.

[@VidinaSS]

All up building your owner green screen will cost you $80.00 or so. The extra $70.00 is for peace of mind, to be honest I would pay that extra for it's quick easy use.

[@DJHeroMasta]

VidinaSS, I feel the same way.

[@Jovan14606]

0:57 - Thank you for sharing that! I had no idea they did this and mine kept tipping over and I'm like, "there's no way they thought this would work, and I assumed I was doing something wrong. Now I see I was. Thank you for making this video.

[@BossManSays]

If they knocked 50 bucks off the tag they'd sell far more. But 150 is just too much for the market they're selling too. This would make sense for somebody who has a following on twitch and can make up the cost of it, but it's definitely not for the casual user.

[@itsneight1260]

Cool product and probably not too overpriced based on the bracketry and mechanism involved but PURELY a luxury item. I made a framed green screen for $30 using $5 walmart fabric and some cheap 1x2's from Lowes and it works perfectly. No, it doesn't fold up the way this one does but the room I use for streaming is dedicated so I didn't need to take down the screen. For someone, say in a college dorm room setting or using their bedroom for streaming I could definitely see the appeal though. Thumbs up @randomfrankp

[@DJHeroMasta]

I see a lot of you complaining about the price but I'd happily drop $150 to save me a few headaches (In a perfect world) But, I'm tight on cash and would rather wait for a price drop. $75-$80 would be much more comfortable & realistic.

[@lesposen]

This is what I've been looking for. Yes, it's expensive cf. to self-made or other brands, but as I wish to travel to teach green screen techniques, the elgato presents as a very good solid investment. Depends of course how the airlines will treat it, but so far from reviews it seems very sturdy.

[@GeorgeCee]

It might be pricey. But it's well worth it. Awesome Green Screen. I like it. I might buy one.

[@Bdog1067]

I like how you say its definitely worth it and you havent even bought it lol. You can get the same quality for like $30...

[@nOOBOFCONSOLe]

U CAN GO FOR VALERA OR NEEWER.. THEY ALSO HAVE SAME TYPE OF PRODUCT..AT LOW PRICE... THICK & VIBRANT GREEN SCREEN

[@fredhilding4773]

Dude if you buy this your trash Elgato is trash

[@shunkaayami3612]

@@Bdog1067 same quality but waste of time and space lmao

[@sixdsix5028]

Come on guys, the build quality and material look really solid and it seems super convenient to use. It doesn't seem huge in terms of width, but you have to remember, this is for quick--emphasis on quick--set up and break down and ease of storage.

[@ShawnBuckingham]

I can understand both sides of this comment section. My personal opinion is that it does seem like a good quality product, however, I'm surprised no-one seems to have notice the fact that from 3:55 onwards, the screen doesn't fill both sides, and Frank is standing fairly close to the camera. Pricing then, I think it should be retailing for $100. I like how it's collapsable, and really easy. Those cheapo cloth things from amazon are literally garbage, they come all folded, instead of rolled - so they have creases in, and by jolly do they stink. My honest opinion, if you're near a wall, paint it green. Problem solved. That said, if you're not near a wall, or you produce content in a dusty environment like a loft, and or you can't see the time of putting up/taking down the frame, as 'productivity' time, then, well, $150, is still really steep. $100, might convince me. That's just a random veggies opinion, though.

[@SvrRud3Bwoy]

Eggplant the thing is it don’t need to fill both sides of the wall just behind you is good enough it’s not needed to be that far away from you , with that said you crop out the sides if needed

[@ShawnBuckingham]

After rewatching, you're right. There also looks to be a bit more space for the unit itself to be moved forward. I believe that with cropping (editor dependant) that the video would stretch, potentially losing some quality. And, I suppose that effectively, the greenscreen isn't supposed to be used in a wide shot studio setup, as it's geared towards gamers, and therefore, the webcam would be at a lower resolution

[@SvrRud3Bwoy]

Eggplant lol it don’t stretch the image I have it myself and can confirm this

[@SvrRud3Bwoy]

Eggplant and the webcam does 1080p for streaming

[@snakeyuk]

I havent got much bedroom space at all and the fact i could slide it under my bed when im done is a bonus, looks very well made so its deffo a possible buy, i know its abit pricey but come on u get what u pay for, this saves alot of fucking about in my opinion, stop crying people......

[@GGONZ4L]

Looks quite nice, but the only negative thing i would say about this product is that the greenscreen could have been twice the size in width, the greenscreen looks great for a single streamer, but if it had more width, it would have also been great for somebody that wanted to start a caster channel with a partner as well, or could have had even more professional applications too, since greenscreen can be used for many many things, but having the ability to set it up in less than 10 seconds, is a bliss.

[@ClaudeGelinas]

Not large enough but well built. Thanks for the review!

[@ClashingDuke]

Definitely debating purchasing this. My green screen setup is SO ghetto and this seems SO convenient. It also gives you the versatility of switching btw a green screen and your own personal BG whenever you want. Yes you're paying for the "Elgato" name but paying for the convenience is also something to take into consideration if you're creating constant content.

[@legendaryfrosty5040]

I miss the sound test.

[@e_lynx]

0:50 I didn't even see that that was a thing. Your setup video saved me. I have a small place and my background faces the apartment so it's handy. Yes the price is high, but it also seems good quality and it's nice to put aside when needed. I hope it will last me a good while.

[@Truetruthforjesus]

Great review! Your reasoning on the price is impeccable - i was considering this and you helped me over the top - ordered one yesterday - thx again.

[@XR3acts]

Having the Flat SMOOTH surface is what makes this a must buy. Im tired of struggling with cloth n shit.

[@JMNTN]

you can also just use a blanket in any color as long as it's bright enough and not the same color as you

[@AspiringPokerPro]

What are the monitors you are using? That is a sick set up.

[@socosurf]

that screen is really green.

[@antoniobmw]

David Vaux thanks im colour blind and i didnt know it was really green thanks

[@socosurf]

i am just trying to help my fellow humans

[@Ihatetaxes]

David Vaux that was a joke

[@socosurf]

I am one to enjoy a good joke.

[@firstpersonlooter]

Our PS4 is connected to a tv in the living room, that’s where I play and stream. I could never permanently put up a green screen in the living room. And I don’t stream and game professionally. So this is that perfect Goldilocks option. I can have a green screen only when I need it for the few hours I game each day, then pack it up and have my normal living room back.

[@ItsMorpHahnTime]

Just ordered one. My DIY one (collapsible shirt rack with a lime green blackout curtain about 20” shorter than this one) works decently, but it does mess up every once in a while due to wrinkles With that 2 pack $40 LED lights Walmart sells (which works perfectly! Will upgrade to Elgato’s wireless ones eventually) it’ll help chroma key this better & I can zoom out more since this screen is wider

[@basdfgwe]

I ended up getting one, and the biggest issue with this (and I don't know how you managed to make it work) is that its not wide enough to make it practical. So your camera has to really punch in or the screen has to really up close.

[@CrazyWillTechShow]

Wow bro didn't know they made this. Thanks... my first green screen was cloth and cost me over $90 and yes I had to buy a stand and clips and a steamer you get wrinkles out and I have to store it takes up quite a bit of space.

[@VlogginTherapy]

If I use this green screen, will I be able to do a full body workout video? I'm 5'9. I would like to know if this will be able to fit my whole body without it being too small?

[@eatermckinnon4644]

probably too small. you will be moving around too much working out

[@sadiqyl]

You’d make a good weatherman lol

[@HarrisonSawyerr]

I have a issue with my current portable green screen where lighting can be seen through it, does this have that issue?

[@KamikazeKid]

Thanks for making this man! Its so cool because it literally is an easy pop up and stable as hell :D

[@flootynator]

and now i know that this is going to work really well with my lightning and my camera because i have the exact same as yours

[@kontraband_gaming]

Was picking up a elgato greenscreen but came here to help out the creators and hit that Amazon link in the description 💪

[@TheOldtimer01]

Thank you for uploading this video. Very informative and also thank you for sharing how to set it up on the computer. I am feeling more confident now about all of this.

[@tomvh]

Great review and product. It seems wel build with a handy mechanism. People it's not the logo... You buy something with great quality and a well made design!

[@AlcoBTW]

is it released or is it not??

[@ArieRomby]

AlcoPlayz I want to know

[@VanillaGamingCo]

I just bought this. Excellent review and showing the filters in obs man, you did a great job +1

[@JohnMWeaver]

Great review Frank!

[@WinSauce717]

Very helpful review. Definitely getting one because of this video. Subbed, thanks bro!

[@mexicansuperman123]

I think the price is right for this. Not only is it good quality, its made to easily use. Which some companies would charge way extra just cause its easy to use. I might pick it up for starting my YT channel. But I kinda like my nerd poster background.

[@gamingwithbblove]

Just ordered mine online I can’t wait to try it out

[@brijennrigby8945]

Thank you for this review! You helped me narrow a very tough decision down to one choice. This is the green screen I am going to buy!!

[@davidward7561]

Thanks for the review, FrankP. I just used your link to purchase one. With added tax on Amazon it ended up being $172.75. I believe it will be worth every penny with the ease of use. Peace Bro!

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

It just isn't wide enough, there's a gap showing even in this video. The price should make it larger at least.

[@danmagoo]

Looks like a great design. I'll wait for Neewer to sell a knockoff for $30.

[@moelevinerules6732]

Dan Magoo, agreed. I wish someone would put out a knock-off already...

[@danmagoo]

I ended up ordering it, and 2 months later it was delivered. I can't deny that the build is excellent, and it "feels" like it is worth the money -- but I would still welcome a cheaper knockoff. Because of its small size (compared to the 10-foot cloth greenscreen I was used to), you have to keep it quite close behind you, and I'm worried that one of these days the back of my chair will hit it and mess it up.

[@moelevinerules6732]

Yeah, I think the size is the only thing holding me back from buying it. I complain about price (like everyone else), but c’mon 150’s not gonna break the bank. If they’d put out a 8 or 9(w)x7 version, I’d definitely pull the trigger. Of course, a larger size would prob increase the price. Hence, back to our earlier wishes for a decent knock-off (at a lower price point). Anyway, thanks for the update on your purchase.

[@danmagoo]

A wider version would be awesome!

[@xliibuilds3957]

its so convenient BUT the price is outrageous

[@FrancoBarrera]

Frank, do you have a Twitch channel?

[@teganhubbard1768]

Love this! Thanks for the review

[@MyToxicDayDream]

You know if they are making a blue screen version?

[@CKTCHAOTIC]

Awesome video! Thank you for review 💛

[@MaartenBijster]

Thanks for the review! I saw in some places a Moiré pattern on the green screen. I have the same problem with my Elgato green screen. What kind of lighting do you use, and at what position? I have problems with the shadows I cast on the green screen and KDEnlive has trouble keying then. You hardly have shadows, while you're close to the screen. Thanks in advance!

[@david_r_morgan]

150 dollars? That's a complete joke. I've owned several cheapish green screens under £30 which have all been excellent and worked well. Sorry frank I love your vids but thats a rip off.

[@ImFnT]

i wouldn't say its a ripoff, yes it's expensive, but the material seems to be so much better than the cheaper ones (from what Frank has shown at least.) and that mechanism is so handy and easy to use, its worth the price if you don't wanna hassle with building the stuff up yourself IMO. Pretty sure there are cheaper ways to DIY though

[@Patriot768]

Why have you owned "several"?

[@kuzhii8416]

David Morgan £30 green screen £120 for the logo

[@david_r_morgan]

Kuzhii exactly. Paying for the brand not the product.

[@bobst3r]

the thing is that its allways completley straight and looks more profesional.

[@StewartStewart]

How tall is it? Is it good for standing shots, or is that just you?

[@MetalMusicMan]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Any idea when it will be back in stock?

[@randomfrankp]

Another day or so!

[@DevonLadd]

man there really is no substitute for a full-frame sensor vs a webcam. Im watching this thinking the greenscreen just isnt cutting it, but that webcam just isnt doing it many favors

[@Blade4127]

Does it have to be opened all the way to stay up? I have shorter ceilings in my basement and may not be able to extend it all the up.

[@SvrRud3Bwoy]

Blade4127 nope you can extended as you need fit it’s like 6 ft plus ? I extend mines maybe to like 3 -4 ft

[@manuelf.almeida]

I love your pc desk. Where is it from?

[@liness12]

Thank you for the review. I was searching for this exact one.

[@XPilotP]

literally just bought a greenscreen. need to buy this now OMG

[@tbcgbvcb]

What's the photoshop hex color code for Elgato green screen? I know the color code for green screen but elgato seems brighter

[@truegamertrue3545]

I think they need to make these wider.

[@TimmygammerOfficial]

Really awesome wanna get one! Do you know if you can hang it up on the ceiling and then pull it down?

[@SvrRud3Bwoy]

Timmygammer you can if you can figure out a way to mount it

[@danmagoo]

I don't see a reason why not, but it's surprisingly heavy and there is no obvious way to hang it.

[@kolvis1641]

You could try to find one like a classroom pull down map, but just green

[@JR-PRODUKSJON]

You can make a more compact cheaper by a tonn allot bigger and cooler. All you need is a rope and some green stuff for example a blanket You hang the rope over the Room and tuck it over the rope

[@randomfrankp]

Yes, because hanging a rope in your room and draping a green screen over it is much much easier than this 5 second process? lol

[@JR-PRODUKSJON]

randomfrankp not really many pepoel do it the rope is stuck there permanent and the blanket is tucked to the side probaly even faster to setup You just pull forward the green screen and done

[@piercemchugh4509]

Are there any convenient setup ones like this but that are like 200cm wide? This one is very thin.

[@riotafterdark]

how far behind you was the screen? about a 1 or 2 feet? i can't find any information about recommended distance between person and screen.

[@0xechidonut]

Just dont stay so close to the green screen. I suggest a meter away

[@DigitalAddiction]

Awesome video! Not only is it a good look at the green screen, but is also very informative.

[@GadgetMeta]

Happy birthday dude

[@joshtheomedia]

On the Black Friday sale this screen was 60 cheaper and i didn’t get it I regret not buying it on the sale but I’ll probably get it

[@Gedagnors]

Great video! Do they have bigger screens? (I need almost three meters wide.) Thank you!

[@larrydubill]

Great review! Thanks....hope to get one.

[@sorynthian1088]

im trying to figure out why this amazon link shows the elgato for $249.99 and $339.99 when the official website says $159.99 lol

[@Goastoid]

Id definitely buy it, if it were about 2 feet wider for 2 man streaming which I do often

[@stuarthowie2522]

Solid review. Thanks for sharing.

[@isaachill3458]

Surely its just easier going to a craft shop. Am I heck spending 150 bucks on that!

[@arich23]

Just got it but I'm not finding that it's wide enough. It doesn't fill the entire field of my camera's view.

[@joedawson5353]

How did you/can you adjust your camera to have a narrower field of vision? My 1080p webcam was too wide and so bought a cheaper webcam with narrower field of vision. But quality does suffer. What gives? Can you help?

[@Goldoro]

No sellers on Europe?

[@jamesmote4460]

Unfortunately its not available in Australia yet...

[@DieGLOZZA]

Very good video. Thanks man. Short and quick. But big question. How tall r u? It seems you're standing in front of the Screen. It would be nice to either stand or sit in front of it. Sitting is def. possible. I got that ,-) Thank you.

Only $210

[@mohammaderfantolousadeghaz1527]

1210 $

[@thelastgamer1]

The camera I have it but it will only do 30 frames a sec at 1080p you have to get the next step but which is about 230 bucks

[@calebb800]

I know that most will say that the green screen is expensive but in my eyes, I would rather buy something for an expensive price that I really need once than buying a new one every 6 months when it breaks

[@wahabshaghasi9673]

I went to some stores looking for a webcam, they said the Logitech Brio 4k Webcam is the best. Is this actually true?

[@SvrRud3Bwoy]

Wahab Shaghasi yea but no one streams at 4k webcam on KZbin or twitch if you’re recording videos and not streaming then yeah it’ll be nice

[@GamingWithAce85]

I’m trying to use Elgato green screen with PS5 camera, so I need OBS to have a perfect chroma key? I also play on TV.

[@logisticsthenovice]

Well.. I have a stream room so.. I kinda painted my whole wall green.. nice review though fam. 😂👌

[@RAULUIS748]

where can I buy the subscriber counter that you have on the desktop

[@ALazyMeme]

You better hope I'm getting the lights as well for that price

[@purplekoolaid9884]

that green screen is so dope

[@gunfight1686]

Can you review something like an Auna 900B microphone (or another auna mic). Its cheap-ish, and there arent many English reviews.

[@fmob0079]

Would it also work for video calls?

[@SherwilTheAdventurer]

Where I can buy it. Its expensive my goodness But Thingking to get one.

[@cruz3608]

I have something like this for a projection screen.

[@matudavis]

If I want a really wide green screen (like 90") can it flip sideways and still be good or if i bought two, would the overlap be an issue when editing?

[@jeremy_duck]

This is worth the 150$ The 35$ - 50$ green screens are some times so annoying to setup and store with this its ready and waiting and its all personal pref would you like to take 5 mins more or less to setup a green screen or would you just throw in the extra money and make that shit super easy. And for the time you are saving every day depending on how much you use the thing ( note if you don't use it every 2 days its prob not worth it for you ) like if you were using it daily it would be a good time save and worth the money over time but don't buy it if you use it once a week for sure.

[@TheYellowKazoo]

This is so helpful! Thanks! I'm a streamer and I need this lol

[@choppergirl]

It looks like it needs to be at least 50% wider maybe 100%

[@CrimsonRanger]

I actually do want to become a successful gamer someday but I sometimes get nervous about it

[@Promods95]

It's just a green projector screen, for 150$? That markup for getting that "gaming look" is far too much

[@Tanner_Teves]

Promods I think it's expensive cause of the portability of it. Just tuck it away in your closet or under your bed when you're not using it. Can't do that with a regular green screen.

[@randomfrankp]

Did you watch the whole video?

[@ferni0]

Promods 5:28

[@Promods95]

im aware of what he said, i dont disagree with him (other than saying that the 150$ is justified) I just dont think that a green projector screen should be worth 150$ I can get a collapsible projector screen for 50$ made from the same material just white, i dont think that green dye is 100$

[@Promods95]

i did, and i do agree with some things that you said but as I said in another reply I just dont think that a green projector screen should be worth 150$ I can get a collapsible projector screen for 50$ made from the same material just white, i dont think that green dye is 100$. i just dont know where the rest of that money is going.

[@ktgspodac2031]

is the logitech streamcam good with this
