Hi everyone, welcome to this video. Now in this video I'm going to show you how to key out the green screen that you already shot set up perfectly and lit emotionally. So here we go. Now I have already project set up and I have this footage that I shot. It's close up of me on the green screen. Here I am, I'm just gonna lower the podium and let's use this part where it's a close up and I'm perfectly lit so here we go.
Okay, let's pick a spot that I don't look that scary. So here we go. Now the first thing you need to do is go to your video effects. In Video Effects you choose King Now I'm using Premiere Pro if you're using something else You should look for something that is key, it has to have the word key. So I'm using old Turkey, drag it, just click on it and you drag it on top of the truck. And on top it says to fix control motion and and they need to see all turkeys so it happens automatically.
You click on the eyedropper, click on the lightest side of the green screen. Because if you clean if you click on the darkest Look how there's like a white halo around, it's not cleaned well so click on the light. So now you see. Now it's already clean. Pretty much Well, you can see any white spots or anything. That's why it's very important to light it and set it up perfectly.
Now, if there were shadows Or wrinkles, wherever they were the bright spots or the dark spots, you would have a hard time to carry out probably it would have looked something like this. And we don't want that because that's much harder to clean when I usually do is now it's pretty clean however, I like to usually put a color made with some bright color, let's see, right. And you put it on the truck on the video truck one under the green screen. So what I did, I moved the green screen on the second track and I placed it the red underneath the green screen. So you see now you with a red background. That means you can place any other color background that you want for your videos.
That is the point to shoot the green screen because you can use any other color that you want. In the next video, I'm going to show you how to use you can put a white background or without putting any color mate you can make the key the old turkey you can turn up the opacity and you'll see it will show up as a gray background which looks really really cool. And is great for sales videos or opt in pages that you don't want to use on organic background or you don't want to shoot in the organic background your house or outdoors. So this is a this is how you clean the green screen. And now if this if you see some impurities, for example, see here it's a little bit dark. what it can do is you can crop it, that's one way so we find the crop to we try it again.
And we can crop it a little from the left is how what the differences were The read. And I wouldn't use that in this case, because then you can see this line over here. So what I'll do is what I'll do is, oh, this doesn't bother me. But if you play something different than read maybe to show, or maybe you want it a little bit more clean, right, so you open the map generator and then you can change transparency, just be very careful because look, you change the transparency too much, then you are going to be transparent and big My head's blown so it keeps out in the white spots on my hair up here. But look, now the highlights, as you can see around my hair, look around my head, the highlights if you turn it up and down, so I did all the way to zero shadows, the same thing.
Look, you just have to play with it. And look now it's perfectly perfect right now there are no more impurities somehow. Hold on. I liked it before because there was some depth. Some way it was more, more like dramatic effect, just like some depth of field here because it's a little darker on the just add some dimension because they're darker edges, but you can always just turn it all the way to zero the shadows. So it's up to you, whatever you want to do, but then I'll remove the red one.
And I can place anything I can place whatever folder you have. Sometimes if you want people to think that you're outside you can even shoot an empty frame without you for building outside and then place yourself in front. But that's it for this video. So Those are the basics of cleaning a green screen and then I'll show you in the next video how you can add a white background to make it look like an apple video. And also how you can make it great which is my favorite for sales pages or opt in pages. So I'll see you in the next video.
