How to do green screen in iMovie on an iPhone

Here is how to make a green screen video in iMovie on an iPhone. This works on all iOS devices. You could also do this on an iPad if you want to shoot a green screen video. Watch this video to learn how to use greenscreen in iMovie. Apple recently updated iMovie to make this available to everyone, and it is really easy to use if you know how to use it. Now you can shoot a video of yourself in front of a single colored background like a green screen, and then fill in the background later.

Man they managed to hide this feature so well

[@hoohoohoblin]

Yes. It’s a really huge feature, and they should’ve told everyone about it. I think it’s great.

wow extremely helpful and "up to the point" no fluff- no intro - just the real deal man

[@dancinspace]

That was a great, straight-to-the-point tutorial. Thank you!

[@hoohoohoblin]

You’re welcome

[@Cornettd86]

Yes thank you. Im watching 20 minute videos trying to figure this out and still not learning it😂

[@lynngordon5869]

Omg!!! I sooo totally appreciate you not giving all the fluff-fluff at the beginning of your tutorial. Thank you for getting straight to it.

[@micahnike18]

Thank you so much! This was MUCH more helpful than any of the articles on Google! I need to know how to use this feature when playing vertical games on my phone on my other KZbin channel!

[@hoohoohoblin]

You’re welcome

[@jagottem100]

Yeah but you can’t move the green screen. You used to be able to and now iMovie is being stupid and decided to get rid of that feature. Now I can’t put the green screen in the corner of my KZbin videos! 😡

[@Chopperwocky]

Doesn’t work.When I tap a color to make it transparent, my head looks transparent against the background

[@hoohoohoblin]

You’ll have to try using a different background color that is significantly different from every other color in the video. That’s why most people use a green screen because there isn’t much green in the Other things that they are filming.

[@jaybze7290]

hoohoohoblin dose purple work

[@TeresCorner]

Chopperwocky same here head arms transparent. I used a blue blanket

[@kolsumabegum2684]

Ian Kavaleuski what about white

[@madenewministries]

Same is happening to me. I’m going to try a different color. I was in front of a white wall.

[@randomchannel2.0uwu61]

This was extremely helpful I was struggling all day trying to find out how to use my green screen thank you so much!

[@garylee4214]

Excellent. Not only exactly what I was looking to learn but without 20 minutes of blab. Kudos!!

[@applejuicewhore2900]

Nice job. I'm so glad you used a background other than green or blue. Up till now I avoided it because I thought it had to be green or blue. But a green/blue screen can be any color that you touch.

[@hoohoohoblin]

Thanks

😯 Thank you so much!!! I tried it and it worked! I think I’m going to use a green or blue screen because I used a white wall and I was transparent. Lol!! I just tested it really quick in front of a blue towel and it already looked good. But I think a solid color would be better. :) Thank you again!!

You’re welcome. Try a bunch of different colors, and you’ll find one that works.
