A couple of tips from an old (and I mean old) editor. I've never seen anyone in a tutorial say anything about the importance of the distance between your talent and the green screen. Although not always possible - and when it is, it requires a really large green screen - the more distance you can put between your talent and your screen, the less spill you get (like on "your" right arm - even after you adjusted your green background). The other important trick is even lighting. This is generally not going to come from cheap lights. You need banks of long lights. If your camera has a waveform monitor, point your camera at the green screen - no talent - turn on your cameras waveform and adjust your lights until you get the line representing green to be as flat and even as you can get it. This mean your green screen is lit evenly which results in better keys. If you're limited with lights, concentrate on the area around your talent. Remember you can garbage matte out any lights showing in the screen provided your talent doesn't cover it at some point during the shoot. Lastly, don't forget to color correct your footage to match the background. Part of "selling" the effect is to make the talent "look" like they belong there. If the background has shadows that go one way and the talent is lit opposite, you need a different background. Choosing the background before the shoot (not always possible) will dictate the lighting for your talent. Happy Keying!

I've been doing green screen projects all year and just stumbled on this... never was the best at lighting or using the ultra key, but this makes my newest clip look top notch! I've saved this to a playlist for easy reference, expect many more views from me until I memorize this formula! YOU THE MAN!!!

dude, you're a champ for this. First time doing green screen I positioned the lights way too close to the screen. Had a huge glare that made it look foggy. This took care of it immediately. Thank you!
