How to Use Green Screen in iMovie

How to Use Green Screen in iMovie
The green screen in iMovie is one of those things that is not very obvious. You have to set up your timeline correctly before you can see the green screen option.
Simply import a green screen or blue screen clip and add it to your timeline. Add another clip to be used as the background and bring it to the bottom of the clip.
Bring the background-clip to track 1 and bring the green screen clip to track 2.
Now, you’ll get a new option for using the green screen effect on the effects menu bar.
You can use any video, image, or backgrounds that come with iMovie as the background.
Here are the resources I mentioned throughout the video.

Hello. I have a question. I am 100% new to using iMovie. I did a sample video recording of myself - using Qucktime. The only thing behind me is my closest - I do not own a green screen (again, I am completely new to this). When I inserted one of the stock backgrounds and selected "green screen / blue screen" as the option, nothing happens. I am not seeing the background. I also have the background underneath my sample video clip, just as you do in your tutorial. Do I need to purchase an actual green screen before this option will properly function? I own a 2019 MacBook Pro - in case that matters - and all of my software is up to date.

[@moapnr]

Sir iMovie is this available in the play store??????

[@shubhammulatkar3714]

great video, does this work for a video in outdoor and we want to change background?

[@PropiedApp]

Awesome man, thanks!

[@KESSTHEMC]

WOW TY Great tutorial

[@leviraskin5219]

I'm having trouble adding a transition when using the green screen feature/adding a background. It doesn't allow me to add a transition once the clip is merged with the green screen/background. Any advice?

[@swe1979]

what if i use a camera to take a video? can i remove the video background to add another background in

[@Ve1kriem]

It doesnt let me put it under the footage

[@kyronodaysoff]

Great video! Just one question. Is it possible to select a video as your background instead of a static image of an office, for example?

[@Howfinity]

Good question. I’m pretty sure you can but I’ve never tried it. I know you can in other editing apps I’ve used

[@JeramieSaito]

I'm still using imovie but looking into Filmora and OpenShot but say u want to add b rolls? How do u do that or do u need to export this file first before u add any brolls?

[@tifahkitchen]

Thank you!

[@fittabulousbysimran]

very helpful video

[@evanopedal]

Thank you. I was wondering how to use the green screen without a green curtain in the camera. If use shutter shock to create a green background, I can do it for free. I am planning to use videos of me that I shot & turn the backgrounds green? How can I do that making all parts of the video outside of me all green?

[@EDDY93S]

I’s this only be able to Be done on the laptop?

[@dickeyboyenglishnotbritish2462]

Why dont i have those features? I have i movies

[@mschazare]

thanks!

[@celtic5764]

I have a question is there a way to keep things that are green in the foreground when using green screen?

[@TurtleMash]

How do I move it

[@fivesixspins]

2:36 what you need

[@fivesixspins]

Thanks man 🙏

[@fivesixspins]

I appreciate you ❤

[@Swampzoid]

Very good but I get the green screen flickering thru my hair and sometime outlining around my ears

[@price2nice0]

how can you move the person to the corner of the green screen

[@canadianroot]

So how to use a background using your own video library without a green background? I'm confused.

[@BeHereNowChicago]

does it work with videos?

[@bdesign01]

can the background be a video?

[@mxlox]

but what if your background is the original video

[@DavidGonzalez-jq1yf]

Why don't you make your own coin on mintme?

[@DripHub208]

quit plugging other videos and affiliate links and get to the point this video could have been 6 mins no offense
