jbnews 344 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I hope this is the right thread for this. But, I have a question. When creating a news studio relying on green screens of different shapes and sizes, is it possible to put different videos/pictures on different screens while all in the same camera shot? If so, what are the free programs the enable one to do this? Thanks! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15093-green-screen-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman 58 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 You'd probably have to have something like what news stations have for "virtual reality" greenscreen studios. As far as free software for doing this, you could try a video editor such as Kdenlive (open source). For live streaming, you could try OBS, also open-source. https://obsproject.com/index Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15093-green-screen-question/#findComment-153585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 CBS6 in Richmond actually uses both IIRC. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15093-green-screen-question/#findComment-153630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4745 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 There was an anchor in San Diego that had the perfect blue eyes that keyed out... They switched to green after that.

jbnews 344 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Sorry to bump this thread... Is there a way to keep the background on the green screen in one spot, so it doesn't move or cut some of it off when you move the camera around?

LoadStar 364 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Sorry to bump this thread... Is there a way to keep the background on the green screen in one spot, so it doesn't move or cut some of it off when you move the camera around? When doing chroma key ("green screen"), the background (generally) doesn't move when the camera moves - it's anything that is in front of the green (or blue) screen that would appear to move. (I say generally, because technically, the down markers and such in football are a specialized type of chroma key that detects camera position, so that the markers move when the camera moves. Also, I expect that the chroma key used in movies and TV production could use cameras that can transmit back their movements so that the CG backgrounds can be rendered later to correspond to the movement.) Basically, what's happening with the type of chroma key used in TV news is that anything that is that shade of green (or blue) is "keyed out" - replaced with content from the computer. The computer doesn't have a clue about camera position or anything like that... it's a very dumb process, it just goes "green/blue = content from computer."

Is there a way to keep the background on the green screen in one spot, so it doesn't move or cut some of it off when you move the camera around? If you want to invest in a virtual reality system and robotic cameras or encoded tripod heads, yes. You can also do motion tracking in post production if you're not doing the key live.

Chief-O 31 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I am not doing the keying live. Is there a way to do the motion tracking in After Effects? It shouldn't be too hard....it would just be a matter of keyframing the background *just right* to line up with the camera movement. I would follow up by saying that it'd be a process of trial and error, but that would probably be true only for folks like me with basic AE knowledge....

jbnews 344 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm trying to do Green Screen tracking on HitFilm Express and it is not working right. I tired the Autodesk Matchmover and everything. Is there a way to keep or lock your background so when you zoom in/out, pan around, the image or video doesn't move, and the parts that were cut off don't magically appear? This HAS to be basic. I know it. I just can't figure it out. It's driving me nuts.
