Greenscreen Workshop

This is Eddy and Estefania's greenscreen workshop. I had to use this video because me and my partners edited files got lost somewhere. In order to edit a greenscreen you need to open Adobe After Effects. Once in the after affects import desired picture to replace greenscreen. Search "keylight" in effects and presets panel. After you need to choose the dropper in the panel to turn the screen from green to black. Then you need to change the view to screen matte and raise screen gain amd balance which eliminates the light areas in the greenscreen. Swith the view to the final view and drag desired picture into the lower panel. Make sure to fix the picture by scaling it to where you want it and when you feel you are done,export. When filming with a greenscreen it is important to consider positioning and lighting. Some problems that could arise when editing a greenscreen is that the screen may not be positioned right and when editing the video, you will be able to seee those spots that are outside of the range. Also lighting needs to be right or else body parts may be cut off while editing. Between premiere pro and adobe after effects, I found adobe after effects to be easier to use for editing purposes.
