What tip would you like to add ? (or criticize) Let's make that a 1001 Tips video so that we can all learn together !

[@JNouveau]

That'd be long video

[@zakidzz]

make some vfx totorials

[@balakishore717]

Profile picture for video recording

[@nicknickk6273]

I'd add using precomp with high contrasted rec709 with keylight in "screen matte" view mode as a lumma matte for a raw footage layer below. It's my "plan B" when greenscreen is really bad

[@jetfu400]

Wait i thought you switched to da vinci resolve? Why are you giving example using premiere?

[@siewer]

"Don't use a green SD-Card because your footage will disappear!" YESSSS!!! You made may day, man! 😂😂😂

C'est à la fois ludique et très passionnant. J'ADORE ! J'ai beaucoup appris grâce à lui, il est patient, pédagogue et fait un travail impeccable et audacieux.

[@NasserTone]

WTF!!! I was just setting up my green screen and it fell down exactly like this 10 mins ago. I hated myself and cancelled shooting and came back to youtube to watch some videos & this is the first one I saw!! What a coincidence 😂😂💔 I can't believe it .. hope your lights are safe man!

[@X_X1286]

[@G-Nius87]

Thank you very much for your comment 👌🏿! This really convinced me to order sandbags for our fresh new greenscreen setup 😅

[@MrGamerChoi]

"90% of the time of fixing stuff in post-production can be avoided ( by proper lighting )" As a compositor myself, I was almost in tear hearing that. You know how it feels when you received footage with uneven lit lighting and windy green screen.

[@nicknickk6273]

Thank you for so much effort and hard work you are putting in your videos. And staying away from junk fast food tutorials, it really makes you stand out from the rest. Keep it up!

[@caviwhy]

I literally subscribed like a day ago, and there we go a new video! Banger. Nice job.

Thanks for subscribing ! You're lucky because I don't upload often :)

[@enterandye5545]

[@EdwinvandenAkker]

As a backlight I used a magenta filter quite often. Magenta = Blue and Red. Combined with the green bleed, the color shifts more towards the white. It helped me a lot in creating cleaner keys.

[@olakunlesmith1092]

Thank you for dishing out highly detailed content in such a way that is easy to assimilate. I got hooked on your channel after watching the video on Multicam using Tentacle, to ATEM mini Pro to 100,000 Streaming Setup and now this. Well done and cheers.

Long time subscriber ! Thank you :)

[@Tmbishop]

This was great and valuable content, thanks! Was expecting 101 useless tips that I've read or watched everywhere else, but it was all really helpful. Going to watch it again, and take notes this time. Thanks!

[@calebreesepaul284]

Been here since 15k. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@ClarifyingChrist]

These are some great tips...and lots of them! Thanks for the help. Figuring out decent green screen shots is tough and I definitely got a few new ideas on how to improve them.

[@focusedenergyproductions9885]

Finally man awesome! I have been looking for this kind of video for ages!

[@LarbiDiGooner]

This is honestly one of the most underrated videos I've seen.

[@AllClassicDrumCovers]

I recently been doing my covers in green screen and I really enjoy your videos on green screen method you use. I find it very useful and thank you

[@kt450sx]

This was one of the best videos I have seen. Great job

[@DodaGarcia]

Awesome video, there's only one part I would recommend caution with, which is tip 76 - shooting vertically in order to fit more of the subject in. It sounds intuitive and I used that technique for a video, but as it turns out that makes it a lot harder in post production to match the perspective because the part you're more likely to want in the final frame (the talent's face, for example) will look like it was shot from below because in the vertical frame it was way above the horizon line.

[@eladet11]

Man that was such a crazy video! So many great tips, thank you

[@DutchAussieProductions]

This is the best video I have seen on this subject. Thanks for all the work you put into this.. Much appreciated.

Amazingly produced

This is such a well put together video

[@SanjeevJosephCyrus]

You have given such a huge information. Thankyou.

[@PeterJansen]

101: Download Nuke 102: Do the alpha key and the despill separately. 103: split the alpha key into core + edge mattes. 104: Garbage mattes can be keyed with another keyer or roto'd (masked). 105: Use the IBK keyer in Nuke over keylight in most circumstances. 106: Use the clean screen from the IBK colour to drive other stuff, for example you can divide the plate by the clean screen to get a image where the screen is white, and also has eliminated all wrinkles/imperfections. You can then multiply this over your background to get more hair detail. 107: Use additive keyer tools. 108: Don't avoid shooting 180 degree shutter, put the extra effort into making the motion blur look good instead. It's a lot easier with Nuke. 109: Avoid shooting in 4:2:2 or lower, and if you have to, a luma key will give you better edges if a chroma key falls apart. 110: Sometimes just grading one of the colour channels will give the best key for a specific region. 111: Watch Tony Lyons keying tutorials on youtube. 112: Use DasGrain gizmo to correctly reintroduce grain, even in despilled areas where the colour has changed significantly. 113: Learn some basic despill equations, heres one: g > (r+b)/2 ? (r+b)/2 : g. This is saying, if the value of green is greater than the average of red and blue, make green the average of red and blue, otherwise, keep the incoming green colour. 114: If you have control over the luma of the background, try make it as close to the screen luma as possible, to aid in integrating edges. 115: You can use an edge detect to despill edges separately. 116: If in quite a pickle, you can use an edge detect + vector generator + vector blur to add more motion blur to the edges of a keyed element. Use sparingly... 117: Use lightwraps (preferably physical exponential glows) to integrate edges where bright objects are behind the keyed subject. 118: Sometimes you just have to roto masks for selective grades/colour corrects/despills. 119: Sometimes you just have to bust out a roto or rotopaint node to fill holes in the matte. 120: Make sure the field of view of the background being added in matches the fov from the key footage (use the same focal length). 121: I have more but I'm tired and need to go to bed, good night.

Wow ! Highly valuable tips straight from an expert , thank you very much !

do tutorials on at least after effects or film production and i will sub ur channel. i dont use maya / Houdini cox i dont have money to buy. but would love to see ur tuts on green screen or tips on 3d

[@JMcad]

Deserves way more views and likes, nice job!

[@Hegenbrecht]

My tip: In some cases you do not need a green screen. For example, for very short scenes, it is sometimes enough to cut out the actor with the Rotobrush-Tool in After Effects. This can be faster than the whole greenscreen setup.

[@TLprod]

6:50 Ahaha green washing literally killed me 😆

Lol !

This is superb! I'm getting my first green screen (a pull up) next week and it's given me a few things to think about. Just need to decide what I'm doing with it and what software I will use (might throw in for the Adobe subscription even though it feels pricey). And learn it. But this is given me a few pointers to consider!

[@TapDat52K]

Silly tip. If you decide to paint your green screen and include painting the floor, make sure the staff has a clean pair of shoes. Also, if you have a dedicated chroma room, consider having one side for green, and the other for blue.

[@zebrazone]

Nice one !

[@leglier59]

@@zebrazone Hubby and I work in our churches puppet ministry. Aka we film and direct it... we are considering going from blue screen to green, and possibly painting one side of the room blue and the other green. So happy to see this comment and it isn't considered totally crazy! With puppets it is hard to know sometimes what story line we may be getting into. Hence the toying with the idea of changing the whole setup this Summer! Thanks for the videos!
