iMovie Green Screen tip

Are you having struggles using the green screen in iMovie? Well then these tips may just be for you.
  1. Remember to place the green screen footage on top of the background
  2. You can get rid of line marks or shadows by clicking on them with the eraser tool
  3. You can always crop the image if the green screen doesn’t fit in the entire shot.
  4. If the audio is messing you up you can detach the audio as well.
These are some little tips for the iMovie green screen, though you can always click here if you need a more in depth explanation or just want to see it visually.
And if you have any questions, please contact a Digital Media Manager through lhslmc360@lps53.org, or come down to the LMC during hours 4, 5, 6, or 7.
