Greenscreen on OBS studio

I use OBS studio for creating videos and live stuff.

Setting up a greenscren has some challenges, but in the end a fairly simple solution. I follow the suggestion from Voorny

He made a follow-up video where he picks the “green” color from he backgound and uses that. That works also, but I prefer the first version.

Howto

The physical setup is to have a bright green backdrop and some lighting. The trick ensures that it is not necesary to have perfect lighting, just enough.

Create a new scene called e.g. greenscreen-camera

1. Add the video capture source
2. Add a very green backgound color source, eg. #f00ff00

Add filters to captured video

1. Add crop/pad, if applicable
2. Add color correction
3. Add chroma key and select color greeen
4. Adjust the color correction values, so the green screen effect is good. Ignore miscoloring of the capmera input

• My current values: gamma -0.36, contrast 0.0, brightness 0.0, saturation 0.67, Hue shift 0 and opacity 100

Add filter to the scene

1. Add color correction filter to the greenscreen-camera
2. Adjust to make camera input look good
