Have you made the switch to the new version of iMovie? Have you had some trouble figuring out how to edit your movie in ways that you used to know how to do? This is the first post in a new series that will try and show you the updated features of iMovie and get you back to making amazing videos.
Green Screen
Green screen is a great way to improve the overall appearance of your Movie. It can be used to make you appear to be places that you could never get to in real life. It can add to the creative nature of your project. It can also be very trick to get to work correctly.
In the old version of iMove you needed to turn on green screen in the advanced tools section of iMovie preferences. in New iMovie, greens screen comes already activated and ready for you to use. It does behave a bit differently than in previous versions of the software, so I have created a short screencast to show you how to use it:
Here are some important tips to get your green screen to turn out right:
- Be sure that the subject of your video is not wearing blue or green clothing or they might disappear into the background.
- Make sure that the green screen you are using is a nice, rich green color, or it might not work.
- Try to have even lighting in on the green screen itself. Shadows and bright spots on the green screen can show through.
- Finally, it is best to do a test shot to see if everything looks right before you film a large clip. It would be frustrating to get the clip recorded perfectly, only to find out that the greens screen isn't right.
