We’ll go into more detail about lighting below. In our set up we’ve used a single box light. Lighting is very important when it comes to green screens as you want the green to be as even as possible. We often recommend the Magewell HDMI to USB3 dongle for video capture.
If you want to use a better quality camera, such as a DSLR, then you will need a video capture card. We’re using a Logitech c930e webcam for the video source. Alternatively, you can buy green screen paint if you’re looking for a more permanent setup. For the green background we picked up some green fabric from a local arts and craft store. For the purpose of this guide, we’ve tried to keep things reasonably cheap. Equipment needed:Īs with all things in video production, you can easily spend a fortune on equipment.
#CHROMA KEY OBS HOW TO#
In this guide we’ll show you how to achieve this great effect with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). These days most live streaming software packages include chroma keying as a feature. If you want to learn how they did chroma keying in the past, then I’d recommend watching this great video by Tom Scott. In the days before computers, creating this effect was an tedious process. In more recent times we’re seeing video game streamers chroma keying themselves into their live streams. The most obvious use of this technique is for weather broadcasts, where the presenter is composited over the top of a weather radar image. Chroma keying is used to remove the background of a video scene which is then composited over another scene or image. The use of chroma keying has become quite popular in recent years, with many applications of this video effect used for live streaming. Update April 2020: We’ve created a guide on how to use OBS as a virtual webcam, learn how to here.
