I. How to key and clone video characters into a video?

Users who are familiar with video editing know that although the keying of people can be realized with the help of professional video editing tools, it is better to let the people stand in front of the green screen to shoot, which will be more conducive to accurate keying. The following will teach you the specific operation steps.

Step 1: Capture video footage of people in front of a green screen

Set up a green background. If you don’t have a professional green screen, you can find a solid-color green cloth. At the same time, make sure that the clothes of the video characters cannot be the same color as the background. Then align the viewing angle of the shooting tool with the visible area covered by the green background, and then the characters can move in front of the green screen according to the script or screen rendering effect requirements.

Step 2: Import the captured video into a video editing tool

Here we take Filmora software as an example to explain the specific steps for you:
Download, install and run the Filmora software, click the (New Project) button to create a new project, and then click the (Media) (media)-(Project Media)-(Import Media Files) (import media File) option, import the background video and green screen video separately. Next, drag the background video to the timeline below, and then drag the green background video above the timeline where the background video is located.
