You can now use a green screen on your iPhone. TV and movie studios use blue and green screens to combine two videos by replacing the background with something different.
You have that power on your iPhone and iPad. So we will show you how to use it.
The studios have used the blue and green screen for a long time, but you don't need huge equipment or expensive cameras to work. With just an iPhone or iPad, you can create some spectacular effects for yourself.
How blue and green screens work
When recording a video in front of a color screen, it is possible to make that screen appear transparent. Then, a second video is placed behind the original using the software, which allows it to be displayed on the screen
This technique was often used to display weather maps behind television presenters, for example.
How to use a green or blue screen on your iPhone and iPad
First, download the free Apple iMovie app for iPhone and iPad from the App Store and open it. Touch the big «+» button to create a new project.
Now, tap on "Movie" to create a new movie project. Find the video that will be used as the basis for the new project and press it. Then touch the check mark button. Also, tap on "Create movie" to open the new project.
Then, press the «+» button to add a second video or image. This will be combined with the background of the video you have previously chosen. A video with a background consisting primarily of a solid color will work better.
Locate the video or image you want to use and press it. Now, touch the icon "..." in the resulting menu. Similarly, press the "Green or blue screen" to add the video or image to your timeline. Now press a color to make it transparent. This is the color you want to remove.
You can move the secondary video or image through your timeline by dragging it to the left and right.
How to edit a blue or green screen
Now that you have your timeline set, you can edit the Blue or Green screen effect in two ways; You can change how big it is and how strong it is.
Press the blue or green screen on your timeline and touch the settings button. Move the slider to strengthen and weaken the effect. This way you will see the changes immediately.
You can touch the crop button to activate a four-point mask to alter the area of the video or image that is used. Drag the mask to include only the area you want to appear in your finished video.
Now you can add any additional assets or effects and export the project normally. This is not perfect, but it shows how powerful iMovie could be if you have the creativity and time to do something amazing. Apple's free iMovie for Mac also offers green screen functionality.
