Green Screen Software?

Question

OK, well me n my friends are making a music video but we need some video green screen software!!! Any good video green screen software out there (preferably free)?

Answer 1

Look for a chroma keyer. Sony Vegas 8 can do it,and if you only need it for a little while, they offer a free 30 day trial download that has all the features unlocked.

Answer 2

Nero Vision will do it. Comes with burning software when you by a DVD burner

Answer 3

Hi - There are quite a few other free programs that it might be worth looking at:

1) Jahshaka

Jahshaka is a free multi-use offline editing tool. Although it is still fairly new on the market.

2) T@B ZS4

T2B ZS4 is a free video editing and compositing tool from Zwei-Stein. Its not for everyone, but it could be for you.

3) Wax

A free tool with powerful editing and compositing abilities.

4) Video Spin

Video Spin is the free video editing tool from Avid. Don't think this will let you greenscreen, though

5) Vivia

Vivia is a basic editing software which is currently being developed and is in Beta testing. If you are using Linux or Windows you might want to check this out. Again, probably no greenscreen on this

6) Avidemux

One of the more stable and complete free tools available. Lots of video processing functionality but no greenscreen

7) Blender

Blender is a powerful, multi-use editing/compositing and modeling tool. It's one of the best on the market and it's free. This has excellent green screen functionality

Other than that you are into the big guns such as Adobe After Effects

Information about these and more can be found on my web site. Check my profile for that link

NOTE: When trying to do green screen it is vitally important that you have the best quality footage you can. Try and avoid using DV, as the compression will cause jagged edges around your matte. Also, make sure your green screen is brightly and evenly lit.

Good luck. Hope this helps
