Why people still export a green screen
A transparent PNG is better when the next tool understands transparency. Some older editors, title tools, and chat stickers do not. They expect a flat green screen you can key out. This page starts on that green.
The swatch is named Green screen. Its colour is #00B140, which is rgb 0, 177, 64. Blue screen, #0047BB, sits beside it if the subject is already wearing green. A green shirt on a green field will key away with the background, so switch to blue when the clothing clashes.
Keep the edge clean enough to key
Keying fails when the edge is a halo of the old room. Check hair and glasses on the comparison slider. Best keeps more of that edge. Clean loose specks removes small islands that would show up as green dots in the subject or coloured dots in the field.
Do not add a soft shadow if you plan to key the green out. The shadow is not green, so it will remain as a grey shape. Leave shadow and reflection off for a key.
Download a flat green file
PNG and JPG both store the green, because the field is opaque. PNG is the better master. JPG is fine for a quick preview in a tool that refuses PNG. The download label shows the pixel size.
If you later need transparency instead, click the checkerboard swatch and download PNG again. You do not have to add the photo a second time. The green you see in the preview is the green in the file, including the named value #00B140.
How to do it
- Add the subject. A person, product, or prop. Avoid green clothing if you can.
- Confirm the green. Green screen is selected. The field should match #00B140.
- Download. Save the file and key that green in your editor.
