Best Green Screen Camera Settings

Amazing!

Wolfamri So you mean the Green Screen Background has to be -1/3 Stop underexposed
compared to your main subject in the foreground ?
Did I get it right ?
Thank you in advance

Great video. Wish I had this to watch years ago.

Extremely well done video, thanks!

More vids!!!

Hi! Outstanding video series! You have answered most, if not all, the questions I had around green screen high quality video production. Question: I have a long room (around 21 feet between me and the camera). Would I benefit from placing the camera far away, and using a longer lens, like a 100 or even 200mm?

Hi Wolf, I am wondering what PP are you using?

My Sony A7SIII does not exactly have an APSC setting. There is a "clear image zoom" I could try. First I am going to switch to "Active Stabilization" which has a little crop, and see if that improves the key.

I really appreciate your tutorials about greenscreens! This earned all the thumbs ups and subscribe I have to offer :P I have a question about setting a stage - I often see tape markers on green screens used by film makers, do you know what they are used for? Are there other types of markers that are used on a green screen set?

Great video, thank you.

I am planning on using Sony EV Z10 to record my green screen movie.

Is this a good camera for shooting green screen videos? Or should I buy a new camera?

Hi Wolf, Honeslty, I don't see that much of a difference between the full frame and aps-c sensor.

Thanks!

Hi Wolf,

Hi!

I am using Filmic Pro Version 7 to shoot chroma key for backgrounds in 4K. I want to shoot in 4:2:2 ProRes.

Filmic Pro offers on my iPad for 4K: 8 bit, ProRes 709 and ProRes 2020. Do you prefer any one of those settings for ChromaKey purposes?

To make things even more “complicated” for my iPad , FilmicPro offers 422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422 HQ and simply 422. So once again, which of these is best for chromakey purposes in post production?

Finally what is the best frame rate to avoid motion blur in Filmic Pro 4K on my iPad?
Whew!!!!
Thanks,
Rowby

It was a very good video and I enjoyed it. good luck

Again, remarkable video! So good, detailed and understandable. Love it! The only thing that makes me question is, what if I only have an 18-55mm (1:2,8-4) lens? After first tests, I can only go to 20mm if I still want to have 2m distance to my green screen. Lens to Greenscreen length is 3.20m. I have 4 Neewer 660 2,4G LED (45W) Lights incl. 80cm umbrellas for diffusion. Any idea?🤔
Can I even go to 1/150 for shutter speed to reduce the green spill even more?

Which green screen software do you use?

Thank you for the great Video! When switching to APS-C mode, where in the menu do i find Lens correction and make it active?
i don't own the Sony A7iv. I will be using one at client site.
Thank you for your time!

What do you mean by lens correction? Are you saying shoot in a flat video profile when shooting on green screen? I have a canon t5i with a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM A

thanks for sharing the details!

Your teaching ability and presentation are phenomenal. Thank you !!!

Great video Wolf! Would you have any recommendations on how to align background photos with green screen footage during the shoot (before editing)? Thanks!

Best video about green screen. Thanks.

Where have you gone?

To avoid the vignetting you can also just crop the image slightly if all you have is a person standing in the middle

WOW SUCH INSIGHT IN JUST THE FIRST MINUTE!

Great video keep creating 📸

Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge. Looking to pull a perfect key and would appreciate your insight. Shooting in my home studio with controlled lighting. Shooting on a Canon C 100 MarkII. I have a choice of lenses a sigma 35 mm prime, the factory 50 mm prime and of course a telephoto 28 mm to 70. Incidentally the 35 mm is the perfect length for a talking head which is what I shoot most. The native ISO is 850, I'm just curious about the best settings beyond for the key. It appears I have to do a lot of color correcting in final cut. I do get some spill and noise around the hairline. As you're probably aware of the camera C100 MarkII is just 8 bit with a 4K sensor down sampled to 1080. Having just watched your video it looks like 5.6 is the perfect F-stop with the green screen slightly under exposed with even lighting? Perhaps 60 frames per second not 24? My camera has the 180° shutter speed option.Should I avoid any different colored lights? I have a slight blue tint for a hair light and I do like a warmer tone on the face… Plus the background picture I key to has a blue studio tone.That said should I keep everything at approximately 5500 K? Is there advantage to shooting in log color correcting and then pulling the key? OK I'll stop rambling and give you a chance to answer. Thanks again. Michael

Gracias. Me ha sido muy útil su explicación.

On the Sony cameras what colour profile are you using?

Hi Wolf,
