Quick Green Screen Tips - Blender

[@OrcishFiddler]

Some useful things that were not explained in this video: If you started a new video project, the Compositing tab may not be there. Press + on the tab layer at the top to add it in. Also, "This is how I have it set up" doesn't actually tell us how to set it up so first-time Blender users can easily follow along. Also, that checkmark click for "Use Nodes" was fast and not called out -- if that's important, it should probably be called out. To get the viewer, click the upper-left corner of the upper-right section (it's a tiny icon with a drop-down) to open Editor Type -- select UV Editor, use the middle drop-down icon to change it to Viewer Mode. Use Shift-A in the Compositor panel to add (if necessary) Movie Clip and Viewer nodes, and ensure they are linked at Image. You may need to select your clip in the Movie Clip node. My explanation is all kinda sloppy because I was figuring junk out as I went along, all to make sure I had the same setup in the first 30 seconds here... I dunno if there's any other "basics" basics to add. Now will try and watch the rest of the video, since things kinda match now. Blargh. x_x

Great job! Thanks.

I didn't get everything. But the result looks amazing. No edges, no halos. Just perfect! :) Thanx for sharing! 😉👍

[@johny_doe]

great example how to over-complicate things

[@Lucas72928]

Why did you use the dilate/erode node with the matt instead of just using the edges output of the key?

[@KenanProffitt]

Hey Good question! My edge output wasn't as clean as I like it to be so I stuck with the matte. You're correct that the edge output normally could get the job done as well. :)

[@PedroSousaPT]

Ah, was literaly going to ask the same question. Thanks both (for the question and the answer) :)

[@myloupman2097]

In the old days when it was just classrooms, this is the kind of instruction where I would find that I have nothing to follow along with I would already be so far behind my mind would take me to far away summers on a road trip a friend laughing our asses off and talking about how glad we were it was Friday under the 90 degree sun with ice cold beer and shots on the horizon, and snapping out of it when the lesson ends. Today I would be on the hook for $150,000.00 for those classes. Thank goodness I can just write a few words in the comments and move on.

[@alancastaneda8322]

Hi, I'm new to Blender. I followed your tutorial, but I don't know how to render this. How do I render it?

[@mfShroom-z9x]

You have to press controll + f12

[@alancastaneda8322]

@@mfShroom-z9x , sorry, should have specified, was looking for specific settings to render this project, but learned it on my own. Still can't get Quicktime to work. Care to answer how to get a render to work with Quicktime? I'm stumped.

[@Magnifygrid]

Liked this,it helped ☺️

[@Enolavisten]

How would you do this method with a live 3d backdrop (Ian Hubert has a great tutorial on combining 2d footage into a 3d environment, but you don't get the light wrap that you would get with this method)? Thoughts?

[@charlieotto]

thanks for this! none of the keying nodes are available in my blender v3.4.1, do i have to get an add-on to make this work? thanks

[@myloupman2097]

Blender's Video editor is like the "Eclipse IDE" of video editing. No books or videos or anything will help. The only way to learn this is brute force pioneering by trudging through it with a lot of trial and error, pointing and clicking passively while watching a movie, until about 1,000,000,000,000 function correlations have been absorbed and then you're ready to fly.

[@belair9]

my clip doesnt show up in the masking or any other section than composite, i don t understand it. if i upload a movie or image sequence I can go to the composite and upload it there but it doesnt appear anywhere else why_

[@rocklobster3956]

I'm having this problem too by chance did you figure out a fix for it?

[@AlimayoArango]

Kenan Profitt with Blender Cookie :D this is excellent :D

[@tanvijha5736]

CG cookie ,thank you for making tutorials on blender I just want to say that please continue making videos😁😁

Making more tutorials is definitely on the to-do list. ;) - Wes

2:13 is not working bro.the green screen is still there

[@alexmattyou]

Can we change the background image as video.

[@karishcool3367]

Yeah ofcourse

[@Ironpants57]

Yep. Look for the Movie Clip node. It's an import node All the node editors look the same. So, check if you're in the Compositor editor first before trying to find the Movie Clip node.

[@smrutianmoludgata2847]

@@Ironpants57 Can you help me with green screen compositing with motion tracking ? Plz if you know mention the workflow in the comment...

[@OfficiallyOToole]

Finally! Someone who doesn't just open a new VFX tab while in the default scene but actually goes into the VFX workspace!

[@babybrown4289]

Love the tutorial - but how are you getting that viewer window in the right top side next to your workspace? Thanks again! Liked and subbed.

[@DeShark88]

Add a new workspace area (move the mouse to the corner of an area until the mouse turns into a cross, then drag a new area in) - then select UV editor and switch it to "Viewer Node" at the top centre.

[@tusharkuntawar6170]

Most helpful green screen tutorial.

You are amazing. Thank you so much.

maybe show us how to set it up, instead of how it is already set up

[@sinelihlengqaza9690]

Blender is a great software, we've got Houdini and after effects in one software

[@ale-pg3xb]

No Blender is good, but nowhere near Houdini. No software is as good as Houdini

[@JamesChristmas]

Hmmm... This is basic. Guess I need to start at Basic Basic Blender. This is awesome. I gotta a lot to learn. Thanks.

[@fadel2846]

Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial! 😊👍👍

[@reicreates1948]

This is awesome! And so helpful. Thanks!

[@blenderpete]

Thanks Mr Profitt. Now working for CG Cookie? Good luck!

Sure, he gives us a hand on a couple videos from time-to-time. You can check out more of Kenan's videos on his channel! - kzbin.info

[@Ayeato]

can i put 3d stuff instead of just a photo in the background?

[@willcastano3529]

Yes, of course.

[@Ayeato]

@@willcastano3529 yeah I was barely learning the green screen a year ago, dumb question.

[@The_Eldest_Millenial]

First off: -Loading footage/image into the bottom section doesn't load it into the viewer in t he top right and how to do this is never explained. -When the Composition tab is clicked, there is nothing there, most likely due there not being an image in the Viewer, from the previous problem I listed. -the tutorial becomes utterly unusable at this point. 1/10 - Did not enjoy.

[@PersonManManManMan]

I have same problem, when composition tab is clicked there I don't see anything

[@abeblue]

First learn blender basic, then come to tutorials like this. Community is huge, blender is a huge software too.

[@nutmas7185]

The footage is lagging incredibly everytime i scrub through. Its driving me insane. Any reasons?

it even works with bluewscreens for dark scenes

How can we do this in a live video? When we are recording it

[@hunterjacksonmedia]

Ask the people who shot Mandelorian. :)

you could use OBS is you are to stream or record

[@ANZORNABIULLIN]

Beautiful boy!)

[@lordcrayzar]

Literally the first few steps and I already don’t know what the hell you did.

[@TonyKureWorld]

Definitely easier to just do this in after effects and bring into blender already keyed

[@potatofuryy]

How about tracking then?

[@TonyKureWorld]

@@potatofuryy depends on what your doing but I would track in blender since I'm working with 3d objects there

Great tutorial. I am a Nuke and AE artist really trying out blender for the first time. Looks straight forward enough. Does it handle motion blur pretty well? Like hands waving and such?

[@ale-pg3xb]

It handles it ok. I would composite in another software and just do the 3D stuff in Blender

Sorry man this video didn’t explain a lot of important details so I could do my project

[@nikonikosensei6682]

There were a lot of unspoken things happening here. For someone new to compositing, this was really confusing. I appreciate the tutorial, but man, if it's basic you gotta say what you're doing.

Cool
