[@notsoso6408]

I make green screens using Blender version 3.0 alpha. I test every one using CyberLink 365 chroma key. I literally just did finish one 15 minutes ago and it worked perfectly. For me, the trick is to not have green reflections on objects before using the key. Have also found I can use most any color and get same result. Sometimes green isn't what a person needs.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks for sharing!

[@HarrysHappenings]

Hi again. I have now bought the MAC version of 365 as I had it 2 years back with my windows pc. I have got my Green screen subscribe button and have followed the instructions by you and Cyberlink but when I try the colour drop/selector it does not work !! It worked easily with Filmora 10 which I still have and this should be easy. the subscribe button is a MPEG 4 movie file so is this why I can't get it to work?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I have no idea. As you stated it should work. Seems that you need to contact CyberLink for technical support.

[@SophiaWinton]

Hey Maliek! Can you combine two green screen videos onto one background non green screen video in Powerdirector? So, three pieces of footage playing at once?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes

[@TrueCrimePsychic]

Thanks for the video... but 2 things...I still get grainy pieces around my body even when I denoise.. also my hair or a majority doesn't show up in the video when I add the chroma key. Please advise if possible

[@PDU_Tutorials]

From your description it seems like the footage wasn’t shot with a high quality green screen and proper lighting. The better you do with production the better the key will be.

[@ElMecaTW]

thanks bro this help me too much

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome.

[@PouringReignPodcast]

What if our green screen background has different shades of the green screen. Like shadows and things like that. Is there a way to use the chroma key more than once or on more than one shade?? Please Help!

[@nerfkinderpls5537]

I've found the chroma key in PD365 to be really really bad, unfortunately, and it no longer comes bundled with the far better Newblue chroma. Is there any way to make the chroma key better or are there any good FREE plug-ins?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Nah, no way to improve it. The only plugins are the ones that were available for NewBlue f=but if you don’t still have those there is no way to get them now.

somehow I am unable to load the image from track 1 onto the video made using green screen. did all that you said and yet the video plays only with the black screen.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Is your timeline set to bottom up or top down? Go to preferences and check, then place your green screen video on the correct track.

[@will-review4uvideos546]

What is your opinion of PowerDirector 365 Chroma Key ( with color settings / Denoise ) versus purchasing New Blue Essentials VI? Is it worth the extra $$ to get that plugin for green screen?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

The plug-in has lot more options so if you're doing a lot of green screen work it might be worth it.

[@linkgrayson8994]

If I only want to chroma key the top quarter of the screen can I do that? If so would I just click on the bottom left marker and drag it towards the right corner until I reached the desired size for the top quarter?

Yes, mask the section you want to chroma key.

[@ebikepassion]

The processing of the green screen is much better on version 16 than on version 365 (20). For my eBIKE NEWS show, I process the green background on version 16, then the final cut on version 20. No other choice!

[@timstephensonvo]

Thoughts on the current version? 10/17/23 release

[@ebikepassion]

@@timstephensonvo Davinci 😮‍💨

[@lovelypasta]

Does it have to be a single coloured background, I want to remove a background for something that has an audio spectrum but I only want that in there. And it's not a single coloured bg.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes, it has to be one color.

[@craigericanderson]

I just tried this for the first time with PD 18 (works the same) . . . one side of my green cloth is shiny, and the other is dull . . . not sure which side to use . . .

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I'd use the full side as it should create less reflection

[@leonardbranch1930]

Do I have to have an actual green screen, or can I simply layer one video of an individual over another video?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You need a green screen to record the footage

[@eransolomonmusic]

Hi and thanks great job as ever. A question : Zoom has a virtual option where you load a Pic and it becomes a background picture for the human figure on the screen with no green screen required. It just discerns what's human and what's not, because it's clever.... Do we have such an option in Pdr?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

No there is no feature like this in PD. IMHO the option that Zoom has is not very precise. Many times parts of the individual are cut off or distorted.

[@eransolomonmusic]

@@PDU_Tutorials thanks a lot. You are right - it's not very precise... But I could sometimes use it. I've actually resorted to making a short Zoom session especially for that, and incorporated that into my pd project. But of course it's low quality.

[@Yhwhelrey]

so i'm wearing a morph suit and have myself keyed out in a video of my son, but it just makes my body shape black. is there not a way to make my shape transparent? i might be taking the wrong approach.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

If the morph suit is green it should not leave a black outline.

[@Yhwhelrey]

@@PDU_Tutorials when i key it out the whole suit turns black. looks like a shadow.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@Yhwhelrey What is the background clip you’re using? If there is no background clip then it will be black.

[@Yhwhelrey]

@@PDU_Tutorials ah, so a secondary clip is necessary? There's no way to key just me as a green figure out? Was wanting to record some action shots of him doing things with my help by key myself out.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@Yhwhelrey Yes, you need a background clip. Just film wherever you and your son are without either of you in the scene. Then place that clip above the clip of you and your son. Make sure the camera and tripod are in the exact same position without moving when you so each shot. Watch this video for an example of what I'm talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSlYn9masyVpNU

[@dzine_yt]

Can you tell us how to create green screens from normal videos?

[@WiljanWiljan]

Yes that would be great to learn!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You ned a green screen to create green screens. Not sure what you mean by create a green screen from a normal video.

[@WiljanWiljan]

@@PDU_Tutorials well in your great example, the dancing person is on a green screen already. But how to best create this? What if you have a normal video and you want to remove the background, and replace the background with a green screen? If the person is dancing like in your example, it would be great to remove background while PD tracks the dancing figure...

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@WiljanWiljan so instead of filming a person using a green screen, you want to film them in a regular setting and then add a green screen? IMHO if you can change the background of a regular video why not just replace the background with the new background instead of replacing it with a green screen and then adding a new background. You can change the background of a regular video using a mask and keyframes kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3jap32Em62Nibc or using a motion mask kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5Stg6duqsuZi6c

[@dannydavis746]

I love what you doing been watching you for years learned a lot thank you so much. But I want to ask you a question. Let's say I go in for PowerDirector 365. And I'm paying this prize every month they say I do this for two to three years. And I can't afford to continue paying these payments for using this program. Even though over this period of time I put out a lot of money I'm mostly doing this for the hobby side. This means I can't use program no more. And I paid out a lot of money. Wouldn't it be better just to have a program and pay three or four hundred dollars and own? And then I think about what if they go out of business. Where am I then. It happened to Pro Show. I would appreciate your response thank you very much

[@PDU_Tutorials]

It's up to you which is better. With PowerDirector you can buy it or pay the subscription. Lots of people buy the latest version and don't pay a subscription because of the reasons you stated. Others pay for the subscription for monthly updates, and all the freebies.

[@overfoxed]

[@PDU_Tutorials]

[@megangibson6890]

HELP! Why isn't this working for me? When I hit okay it doesn't work or when I save it says, "You cannot save templates that contain video files"

[@PDU_Tutorials]

There is no option to hit save when using the chroma keyer on a green screen. You are saving a template, not creating a green screen effect.

[@Ashraf247]

So nice

[@anthonybost8646]

I want to learn how to bleep or cut out bad words...Please Please Please!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Find a sound effect of a beep and place it on the track where ever the bad word is said. Also, mute the bad word so only the beep is heard.

[@chrislauterbach8856]

Stretch the timeline out, because it is easier to see things when they are spread out. Go to the audio track. Put audio markers a little before and after the "word(s)". You do this holding down the control button and clicking on the line at each spot. Then slightly inside of these markers add two more audio markers. Drag the two inside markers down to the bottom to mute the audio at that spot. You can move all four markers to get the mute correctly positioned.

Those are 3D rendered objects. You can't rotate objects like that in PowerDirector. You can rotate objects and clips in X.Y, and Z but they will not be like the 3D rendered boat in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYOqlGt9qpWZfK8
