A couple of tips from an old (and I mean old) editor. I've never seen anyone in a tutorial say anything about the importance of the distance between your talent and the green screen. Although not always possible - and when it is, it requires a really large green screen - the more distance you can put between your talent and your screen, the less spill you get (like on "your" right arm - even after you adjusted your green background). The other important trick is even lighting. This is generally not going to come from cheap lights. You need banks of long lights. If your camera has a waveform monitor, point your camera at the green screen - no talent - turn on your cameras waveform and adjust your lights until you get the line representing green to be as flat and even as you can get it. This mean your green screen is lit evenly which results in better keys. If you're limited with lights, concentrate on the area around your talent. Remember you can garbage matte out any lights showing in the screen provided your talent doesn't cover it at some point during the shoot. Lastly, don't forget to color correct your footage to match the background. Part of "selling" the effect is to make the talent "look" like they belong there. If the background has shadows that go one way and the talent is lit opposite, you need a different background. Choosing the background before the shoot (not always possible) will dictate the lighting for your talent. Happy Keying!

Wow amazing information!! This would definitely take it to the next level! I'll pin for people to see

[@randycates9577]

@@Schrogs TY!

[@relaxation-connection]

agreed - in our studio we have Kino Flo lights illuminating the background and lite panels for the talent. Kino Flos don't travel easily but even lighting is crucial

[@randycates9577]

@@relaxation-connection I LOVE KINOs! Too pricey for my current employer but we used a less expensive version that is giving us really good even lighting and we're getting pretty impressive keys. I spec'd them for two recent corporate studios I built but nothing beats Kino Flo in my experience.

INSANELY useful and easy to follow tutorial, man. You're a hero to every diy poverty green screen owner lol.

[@krishna_blossommiinds]

Your step-by-step guide on fixing green screens in Premiere Pro is a lifesaver. You explained it so clearly, and your friendly demeanor made it enjoyable to watch. Now, I can confidently work on my videos without worrying about a messy green screen. Keep these helpful tutorials coming! 😊👍

[@DangerRik]

I've been doing green screen projects all year and just stumbled on this... never was the best at lighting or using the ultra key, but this makes my newest clip look top notch! I've saved this to a playlist for easy reference, expect many more views from me until I memorize this formula! YOU THE MAN!!!

[@Schrogs]

Hey awesome man, glad it helps! Just a little extra tip for you, if you use the exact same lighting every single time, them what you can do is once you create your color corrections, you can save it as an effect and you can just apply it to all future clips. It might require a few touch ups to make it perfect, but will be really fast and save a lot of time!

[@arjunranjit6880]

OMG this was such a great tutorial! It was really easy to follow and well explained. I’ve been having some issues with removing my green screen and now I’m definitely gonna try this out. Thank you so much! :)

[@EllyValentini]

this is the best and most simple/ direct tutorial i’ve found! Thank you so much ❤

[@CallofPlastic]

Thank you so much for this. I filmed a miniature with a green screen - I used a non-green support device to give the miniature a sense of elevation. For days I've been trying to figure out how to KEY out this non-green color. Your explanation, plus a bit of tweeking with the lighting, and I was able to get a perfectly clean shape green screen for the miniature. I'll be using a green support device from now on. Again, thank you.

[@anthonyegan1973]

You're a genius, we were taught to rotoscope and use that keylight thing in after effects😭 and same for premiere the key thingy😭 this is a MUCH quicker and better way to do it , saved me HOURS and the results from this colour picking gives a much crisper edge results than all those key things!! ty!!

Thank you for this great tip on fixing the Green Screen in Premiere Pro. Was looking for a good solution. You are the Man.

[@powerflex500]

Thank you. After keying out the green. I'm getting an abormality. When I place a photo that contains certain colors, (not green color) behind the subjects. ( Two person interview). Graining parts of the keyed out green appear on the program monitor but if I place another photo with different colors, the graininess doesn'nt show.I tried the different tools in ultra key but I'm not having any luck removing it.

Thanks man!

[@classzedits]

i stopped using greenscreen because (1) im only using cheap lighting, and (2) keying uneven lighted greenscreen is too difficult for someone who's still trying to learn the basics. ive watched a tutorial where he also used the dropper with the minus sign, but yours (this video) is a lot easier to follow. i love it. new sub here for more premiere pro tutorials.
