Tips to Get the Best Green Screen Video Results

FlexClip’s AI works well under most circumstances, but if you follow the tips below, you stand a better chance of getting professional-level green screen videos.

High-Quality Original Videos

When we refer to higher-quality videos, we don’t only talk about resolutions. It is about optimized lighting as well as high contrast between the background and the foreground. Higher-quality videos reduce AI hallucinations.

Avoid Motion Blur

Sudden movements or motion blur make it extremely hard to clear the background. If they are inevitable, you can slow down the original video clip.

Use the Right Green Color

Well, there are many types of green, but there is only one green color background that works best in post-production, which is #00b140. Make sure you find the right one.

FAQs

1. Can I use a custom background instead of a green screen?

Certainly, after removing the original video background, you can merge any image or video with the transparent video. All you need to do is accessing FlexClip’s editing panel, apply the custom background and the transparent video as two different layers.

2. Can I convert a video with multiple moving subjects to a green screen?

Yes. FlexClip utilizes AI that can separate the foreground and the background with high accuracy, no matter how many moving subjects are in your video. Besides, FlexClip also allows you to manually select the moving subjects in the video.

3. What’s the difference between chroma key and AI background removal?

Chroma Key and AI background removal are both used to replace video background, but they work in different ways. Chroma Key uses color-based keying to remove a specific color in the video. AI background removal uses AI to detect and separate the subject from the background.
