Available for the iPhone, iPad and Mac, it allows users to create the video project of their dreams. Of course, for those that may not be aware, iMovie is Apple’s free video editing application. Just like your favorite Hollywood picture, there’s no need to build practical sets anymore, you can create the world around you using a green-screen! A great video-editing trick, I’m going to take a look at what a green-screen is, and how to properly use one within Apple’s iMovie for Mac. To keep your video stationary, select the Cropping icon and select Fit or Crop to Fill (to eliminate black bars).For those that love to film, they should know there’s an easy way to use green-screen in iMovie. But, if you do, select the eraser (next to Clean-up) and click on any trouble spots.įinally, you may notice your video moving in or out, during playback, due to the Ken Burns effect. If your lighting is good, you shouldn’t have to remove any excess green.
This will change the green screen to your background image. Change the option from Cutaway to Green/Blue Screen. Select the video and click on the Video Overlay Settings icon. Simply drag the image to match the video’s duration. The video clip will most likely be longer than the image file. ***Remember to use high-resolution (i.e., 1280 x 720+) images to prevent pixelation.Īdd the background image to the Timeline, first, then drag the video clip on top.
Import your footage, and any background images (preferably. This will mark the exact spot where your subject should stand–keeping shots consistent with regard to lighting, focus, and sound. The day before the shoot, contact your subject and instruct him/her NOT to wear green or yellow (which can green around the edges). Set up the light kit using the three-point lighting method (see diagram above). Place a piece of painter’s tape, on the ground, about two feet in front of the green screen. Next, you will need to film your subject. Just email TLT to reserve the equipment and schedule training, if necessary. Lucky for you, TLT has both! We even have an iPad teleprompter–all available for faculty use, every Tuesday from 1-4 PM, in J.C. Are you planning your next big video project or lecture? Would you like to replace the background with an image of an object, person, location, or perhaps a PowerPoint slide (saved as an image file)? Well, the first thing you need is access to a green screen and light kit.
