Hello everybody it's 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today the green screen
effect on iMovie iOS on your iPhone or iPad, it's absolutely amazing just with a
simple blue sheet or a green sheet you can do this, or this, or go anywhere in
the world like this, I'll show you how to use the green screen effect what you're
gonna need how you can change the strength of it so that you don't go
see-through and it's very very simple, this is the technology they were using
in Star Wars 40 odd years ago and now you can do it on your iPhone amazing,
let's get cracking, now the first thing you're gonna need is a green sheet or a
blue sheet now ideally want one with no creases in, a perfect surface, I've just
used a dirty old blue sheet from my garage just to show you how easy it is,
now the white spots will cause problems and I'll show you that later on in the
video, and the creases here, now this is me
actually making the green screen you can see these white bits of paint here and
there's lots of creases, now this will cause problems with the green screen but
you can change the strength of it, there's a link above now on iMovie how
to guides lots of various different topics in there, right let's go on to my
iPhone and we will open up iMovie App and click on the plus [+] sign and start a
new movie now what you're doing first is you're selecting the videos that are
going to be in the background, so the things to select first is everything
that you want in the background and I've got 3 items to add to my background
and then if you click 'Create Movie' at the bottom it will import those into
iMovie, okay so I've got my 3 videos in here and then what you do is you
click on the plus [+] sign here go back to your camera roll and now you're
selecting the item that you want to be the green screen, now what you do is you
just select it once with your finger but instead of clicking on the plus [+] sign
click on the 3 dots [...] this then brings up a separate menu and you want to
select the 'Green / Blue screen' option and what it's done it's imported that
video clip over the top of the original timeline, now I'm just going to do some
basic editing on this just to trim it up, so I'm just dragging the beginning and
the ends, whilst I'm doing this there's a link above now about how to use the
split screen option in the iOS iMovie App, once I'm happy that I've cut out the
beginning bits that I don't need I can then hold my finger down on that
video timeline and then drag it to the beginning, with your green screen video
selected in yellow then click on this button here and what you can do is you
can drag these four dots around your specific subject this just makes the
green screen a bit more effective just so it can try and work out the green
screen around this specific area, now it's a shame there's only four dots
because obviously it would be a lot easier if there is more dots but it just
gives you a bit more control over your green screen subject, whilst I'm doing
this there is a link above now about how to do slow-motion and the zoom effect in iOS
iMovie really handy feature, once you're happy you can just click on play there's
no actual save option it'll just do it instantly, now if you look at that video
closely you can see the creases on the blue sheet in the background just behind
my head so what we can do is we can click on this button here and this
allows us to adjust the strength, so if you click on that button now you can
just use your finger and drag the strength of the green screen up and down,
now as you can see if you go too strong it'll actually make you disappear if
it's too weak you can see too much of the creases on the sheet, obviously if
you've got a green screen in the background it's absolutely PERFECT no
shadows no creases you will not have this problem as much, but I'm just using
a dirty old blue sheet with marks on it just so you can see how easy this effect
is to actually do, then the only defect I can see on this video is I've got a
little tiny spot just below my ear there and that is where I've got a white bit
of paint, and I'm just going to adjust the subject outline again because I've
just raised my hand, not in anger, if you notice my hand actually
disappeared,
once you're happy with all your edits you can name just click on the 'Done' at
the top,
and then click on this item at the bottom to Save your video, now you can
save this to Facebook or WhatsApp or YouTube but I'm just going to save it to
my iPhone, so then what you do is you just click on this 'Save Video' option
this allows you to save it with various different qualities and I'm going to
save it at 1080p 60 frames per second if you don't know how to save it at 60
frames per second there's a link above now about how to do that, it's now going
to export the movie to my iPhone photo album and I've massively speeded that up,
that can take a long time and if we go to my photo album on the iPhone we can
see that the video that I've just exported is right here, now we don't need
to watch the video again because you saw it at the beginning, now it is worth
noting that because you're running 2 videos side by side you may have sound
problems and what you can do is highlight the video timeline that you
want so that is in yellow and then click on this sound icon at the bottom and you
can adjust the sound level on each of those video clips, now I'm just going to
adjust the sound mix here so that the sea noise at the bottom is slightly
lower so that you can hear my narration. If you're going to be following any of
my how-to videos make sure you've got a lovely cup of tea oh, if you found any of
