In this video I take you through all the steps required to create the perfect green screen video.

Starting off with a quick discussion about how to set up your green screen for the video shoot followed by a step by step demonstration of the iMovie Green Screen/Blue Screen effect available in the video overlay menu.

It's incredibly easy to use and intuitive so at the end of the tutorial you should be fully equipped with all the skills required to key out any green or blue screen video and superimpose either a video or still background behind your subject.

Great for Youtubers, Vloggers and independent movie makers working with restricted budget, its totally free software and can give you results that are quite close that which in the past was confined to higher end video editing packages such as Final Cut X and Premiere Pro.
