So you don't always have the opportunity when you're streaming to have a background
based on the location that you're at.
So in today's video, I'm gonna show you how you can go ahead and set up
a green screen inside of stream labs and make it as perfect as possible.
That way you look smooth when you put yourself on stream.
So the very first thing that we wanna focus on is you wanna make sure that
your green screen is as far away from you as possible to avoid shadows.
So let's go ahead and set up the green screen first.
All right.
So now that we have our green screen, you can see that I have the green
screen as far as possible from me.
That way there's not as much shadow causing behind the green screen, right?
Because you want the green screen to be lit as much as
possible, which leads me to thing.
Number two, which is you wanna make sure that you have proper
lighting for your green screen.
You wanna make sure that this green screen is lighted as best as possible,
which is much light as you possibly can.
I'm utilizing two Al Gado key lights to be able to light that behind.
I can have some more lighting, but I'm gonna show you guys, if you don't
have a lot of lighting, I'm gonna show you how you can avoid that gray shadow
look or just that it just looks grainy.
Right?
I'm gonna show you how to make this look perfect today.
So once you have that done and you have the green screen behind you,
as far as possible, And you have the lighting as much as best as
possible for you to be able like that.
Let's go ahead and jump into stream labs.
Go ahead and get this set up.
So once you're in stream labs, you're gonna come to where it says scenes, right?
You're gonna go ahead and add a new scene.
You're gonna name this green screen, and then you're gonna select done then from
here on the right hand side, where it says sources, you're gonna select, plus
you're gonna select the video catcher device, which is gonna be your camera.
And then you're gonna go ahead and hit, add.
And I'm gonna go ahead and add my camera.
So you can see here that now the camera is added.
Now the very first thing we want to do is we wanna go ahead and crop
this because we can't really comb McCree and get this outta here.
We wanna make sure that the screen is to the green, green screen length.
Right?
So to do that, you wanna hold all on your keyboard.
You're gonna want to go ahead and grab this one of the corners and bring it over.
You're gonna hold all again, and you're gonna bring this over until
it's perfectly inside of the green.
Right?
You can see here, there's some left over, so I'm just gonna bring that in.
And now you're gonna see here that we're directly inside of our green screen.
So now we can go ahead and get it removed.
So to be able to do that, you're gonna come to where it says
camera, you're gonna right click.
You're gonna select.
Edit filters.
And then what I'd like to do is like to bring this over a little
bit to the right hand side.
Cause I like to work on the main image because it's always
gonna be more realistic to what you're gonna see on stream.
So we're gonna go ahead and add a filter.
You're gonna go ahead and come to filter tight.
You're gonna scroll down until you see Chrome a key.
Filter name can leave it as is.
Okay.
And you're gonna see here that for the most part, it's gonna do a pretty good
job of Chrome, keying it out, but you can see here that it's kind of grayed out.
It's kind of washed out.
It's not that good.
And that's typically how most people utilize the green
screen, but don't worry today.
You're not gonna have that issue.
This is gonna look smooth once we're done.
So the first thing you want to do is you want to go ahead and uncheck
this so we can see the actual green screen where it says key color type.
You're gonna go ahead and select custom.
And then what I want you to do is use this little color picker, and I want you
to select the part on your green screen.
That's the most lit, right?
So that's typically gonna be right here for me.
So then once you do that, you're then gonna turn it back on and
the screen's gonna go black.
No worries.
There.
You're gonna come to where here, where it says similarities, and
you're gonna bring this down until you start seeing everything perfect.
Typically bringing it all the way down to the bottom really helps.
For the most part, I want to try to get as best as possible, um, in there.
And I think that's gonna be the sweet spot right there,
where you can see for the most.
I've gone with the shadows there, gone with the shadows there, and
there's hardly no spill on me.
Um, so that's gonna be the good part there.
Right?
So now, even though that's looking perfect, I always like
to make sure that the corners are gonna be as perfect as possible.
And this is where a lot of people have issues with the
green screenies on the corners.
So this is gonna resolve that for you, right?
So what you're gonna do is you're gonna turn.
You're gonna go ahead and add another filter.
You're gonna come to where it says Chrome key.
Okay.
You're gonna find Chrome a key here again, and you're gonna select
add, and then what you're gonna do is you're gonna turn it off.
You're gonna go ahead and come to where it says key color type.
You're gonna select custom.
And when you use a picker, now you're gonna go ahead and pick here, right?
This little corner is what you want to go ahead and grab on the picker.
Right?
So that's gonna go ahead and give us there.
And now we wanna do is we wanna activate it.
And again, you're gonna see is gonna go give us a black screen.
So we wanna bring this down again.
Right.
We wanna bring it down until it's looking good on the size.
Sometimes that's all way at the bottom.
Now I don't want you to focus so much on what's up here.
This cut, this Chrome key is simply for the corners, which you can
see here that are looking perfect.
Right?
Because what's gonna happen is when we turn on our first ch key.
Just gonna go ahead and take care of that top issue.
So you can see here now that we're a hundred percent smooth, right.
But we're not gonna stop there because this is the, it's gonna be
one more filter that we want to add to increase the quality of your video.
So that way it looks crispy.
Right.
So you're gonna go ahead and hit, add filter.
You're gonna come here.
You're gonna select color correction.
You're gonna select add.
And what you're gonna do here is that you're gonna just play with
the saturation just a little bit.
I like to bring it up just a slight touch.
Um, just a slight touch to your like, right.
Um, and then as far as the contrast, I like to bring that up as well.
Just a little bit.
And then gamma, I like to bring it up just a little bit as.
And again, you can go ahead and adjust this to your liking, but those are
the three settings that I like to tweak until I get the perfect image.
Right.
So now that you have that we can hit close.
You can see here then now this is looking really, really good, right?
So there's not no issues there at all.
So now what you want to be able to do is you wanna go ahead and test this
against, uh, a background, whether it be your game, whether it be a screen.
This is how you ultimately are gonna be able to test this because
sometimes there's still some tweaks that you need to make.
So you can see here that on my microphone, I see it kind
of being a little bit grainy.
So again, you can come in here and be able to go ahead and adjust that.
So you can look here and see, which is the one that's causing the issue.
So we can close that there.
We can select this Chrome key.
And again, I can just go ahead and bring it down and you can see that just that
little tweak fixed the Chrome key, fixed the little graininess on the microphone.
So again, just takes a little bit of tweaking, but for the most
part, you know, now that the back green screen is looking perfect.
Right?
So let's go ahead and test it with an actual background.
So what I want to do is I want to hit ad source.
I'm gonna go ahead and add my gameplay.
That's gonna gimme the best way to be able to test, to see how this is looking.
So I'm gonna select game.
I'm gonna go ahead and add source.
And what I wanna do is I wanna bring myself above the game.
Okay.
So I'm gonna bring myself above the game.
So there it is.
All right.
Perfect.
You can see here.
This is looking pretty smooth.
There's no edges on the corner.
No matter right here, it's looking smooth and no matter
right here, it's looking smooth.
Now you can see here that you still see the line of the green screen.
That means I didn't cut it as well.
So to be able to fix that, we wanna hold all.
And we just wanna bring, we want to go ahead and bring the, make sure we're
selecting the camera and you just wanna bring it in as just a little bit more.
And now you can see here.
And now we have a smooth, but you can see there's still a little bit
of gray that's coming up there.
Right?
So in order for us to be able to fix that, what we want to do is come
back into here, hit edit filters.
Okay.
This is why I say it's so important for you to check it.
Now, once you're here.
So that's gonna be my bottom, my lower bottom top.
Right?
So this is where I want to go ahead and fix this.
So say color spill.
This is where I'm able to bring it up a little bit more.
Okay.
You can see here, bring it down.
And then the smoothness can kind of bring it down some as well.
You can see here that now that's gonna head and fix this.
So this is our clean green screen.
So now I can go ahead and bring this down, bring my camera down, uh, to be
able to put myself in a corner here.
And now one tip that I like to recommend.
Right?
For example, this is my gameplay screen.
But when I'm on stream, it's looking like I'm looking away from the game.
So what you want to do is if, if you're looking, if this is your gameplay screen,
that you're pretty much good, but if you game on this monitor and you're facing
the other way, what you wanna do is you wanna right click this, you wanna
select transform, and then you wanna go ahead and click horizontal, right?
And you can see here now.
And when I'm playing the game, you're also gonna see me on screen.
So just like that, you can see how easy that it was to create a perfect
green screen inside of stream labs.
Now, if you wanna learn how to go ahead and add overlays inside of
stream labs, like you're just chatting screen, your intermission alerts,
the donations, all those things.
