[dlive.io question] — how do I cut myself out from the background?

So I was asked this question a few times this week.

I had to work out what they were asking for when they said how do I take myself away from the background so I wanted to quickly put together a little post about genlocking (aka, greenscreen) — I’m not going to go into depth about that because you can find lots of videos and information about lighting and green screens.

I use the elgato pull up green screen, I did have a ghetto green sheet but I’d kinda used it to death and it was starting to look a little sorry for itself because it really needs to be stretch out over some wood for a decent background, it’s a little task I need to do at some point.

Hopefully the video will help some people to understand how you are removing the background from the video and how it layers up over the top of other layers, think of it like photoshop where you have many layers, all you are doing is removing the green colour leaving yourself.

Hope it helps!
