You need about 5min to explain a simple thing. I like it. Other people need 20min to explain nothin.. You're great!

[@BoxCast]

Thanks!!!

[@therealthc420]

Leonardo Edler von W I agree! Great work thanks!!

@@BoxCast I Am From Somalia I Dont Understood Your Language but This Video I Understooded 100% Becouse I Liked How This Video Work Step By Step With Meaning Full Steps

[@shortfunnyvideostoday692]

I agree with you

[@possessedllama]

It's because other people want the sweet sweet ad revenue a longer video brings.

[@ModernPopMalc]

I watched this video because it was the shortest one I saw. Explained everything perfectly and wasted no time. It's insane to think there are other videos twice as long as this or more explaining the exact same thing. Some folks just love the sound of their voice and it shows with tutorial videos... thanks for not being an egomaniac and caring about people.

thanks for the kinds words! we appreciate you!

@@BoxCast What are the Windows versions of Blackmagic UltraStudios? Another silly question: what is this converter called so I can search up Windows options. Which ones from top 5 would you recommend? (I'm new to the channel & Green Screening. )

[@Eisofice]

Bright red is a really bad idea! Green is generally used because it's a colour that rarely comes up in skin tones, ergo if you key out all the red- you'll also take out the red tones in your skin making you look very pallid or at worst cutting holes out of yourself! Cyan however is a decent colour to use and a more common one in some professional situations. Just a tip!

[@BoxCast]

thanks for the heads up!

[@elprofesor7476]

Thanks! Tommorow I have online classes and I will be able to troll the teacher that I am having online class at the edge of the roof lmao. EDIT: I finally had lesson with that super-serious teacher I used it and turned on webcam. She firstly freaked out, screamed at me and called a police. When I explained everything to them, they let me go. Tl;Dr got 1 because of "dangerous behavior" Edit 2: Don't do that you buys may get in trouble lol

no problem!

[@psc.farm988]

Great video

[@mrsockmonkey1969]

also you need to replicate what your background is doing with light. There are windows in the background off your right shoulder. Logic tells you that you should have light hitting the back of your head and shoulders from that angle. So use a separation light or simply a light behind pointing at you to recreate what the background shot would be doing in real life. This will add depth and realism to the shot. Your brain knows why things look fake and it’s always because the properties of physics and light always behave in certain ways. If they do not your eye will detect it immediately.

[@tianeven1254]

Your explanation very well. Why I apply chroma key there are many white spots on my background and me.

[@GiovanniStefani]

Thanks Josh for the video. Okay, so I have the same Elgato Green Screen in this video. I'll give you some background (no pun intended ;)). I've been doing IT for 45 years and have used BMD equipment in the past (PC capture cards). I use Zoom for conference calling with customers and Camtasia for doing IT instructional videos. Zoom doesn't give you much in the way of fine tuning your green screen. Camtasia gives me a tolerance, softness, hue and defringe setting. My issue is lighting the green screen. I'm a DIY guy and made bank lighting with a 4 - 4' flourescent T8 5000K (90 CRI) bank. I'm in a 10x12' office with the green screen 3' behind me and the lighting of the green screen behind me as well. Seems like I have too much light coming off the green screen as it almost washes it white in color. I'm a sound engineer and do some lighting for live bands (including my wifes) so I'm thinking of using my Chauvet DJ Pan LED lights to light the green screen. Another YT video guy suggested putting a green sleeve over the flourescent tubes or using a green LED strip to light the green screen. Pretty clever idea. I don't have the budget to but bank lighting. My issue right now is even as optimal as I get, I end up with a green halo around the subject body and head and can't get rid of it. Your thoughts?

[@PingByahera]

thank you

[@BoxCast]

sure thing!

[@aroelti]

Good you are information

[@ArunMPEdison]

Great video, highly informative. Are there any tools which can handle the below scenario or something closer? To simultaneously with five options to interact on screen? for online sales? 1. Product line presentation, by person on camera, 2. Slides on the side, 3. Video demo or live demo of the product/recorded video if live stream have a problem 4. Live chat to ask questions and finally 5. link to purchase with a discounted price/deals.

[@gittin_funky]

What is the ultra studio mini recorder needed for at 2:04 ? Is this so you the video from camera is recorded in the PC rather than in the camera ?
