Written by Tech Dude, Category: Video

If you are involved in producing videos of any sort, no doubt that you have probably considered using a green screen to add visual effects to your videos. What I have found, is that a lot of people have not tried to use a green screen because they think it is too hard and complicated. I’m here to tell you today, forget that notion. Using a green screen background in your videos is actually quite easy.

There are a lot of people out there involved in online video production and the competition is heavy for viewers. Using a green screen can certainly give you an edge for those viewers when you produce videos that are visually captivating.

A green screen is actually a large piece of green fabric hung behind you as you shoot your video. The technique is quite simple. Use your video editing software to remove all of the green in your video. What you have left, is everything that isn’t green. You can replace the green background with still photos or videos that play in the background. This is the same technique that your local TV weatherman uses when you watch him report the weather and he has all of his screens and maps behind him.

Check out this video example from Bloggerlens.com where he explains how to add a green screen effect to your videos. You can head over to Bloggerlens to get more of the technical details. The cool thing about adding a green screen effect is surprisingly simple and affordable. Amazon sells a professional green screen kit at a reasonable price and you can quickly add more professionalism to your web video production.
