Green Screen Video Recording

  • Updated

How does it work?

Using green screen technology, you can select a still image or a video as your video's background. Once selected, the image/video will replace any green surfaces in your surrounding.

The image and video is taken from your Library.

What do I need?

  • OneMob iOS mobile app or Android App
  • An image or video you'd like to use as your background
  • A green screen / green background

Please make sure the image or video you wish to use as your background is in your OneMob Library.

Use the OneMob iOS Mobile app
1. After logging in to your iOS device, head to your Library tab, then select either Videos or Images:

2. Select the image or video you would like to use as your background
3. Scroll down to Green Screen Background

  • Image Library
    • Use this Image: Use the selected image as your green screen background
       
  • Video Library
    • Use this Video: Use the video as your green screen background
    • Use this Thumbnail Image: Use the video's thumbnail image as your green screen background (still image, not a video)

Once you select an option, you will be taken to the recording screen.
4. Adjust the intensity using the green slider on the right hand side of the screen

Once you're ready, start recording your video! The image/video you selected will appear on any green surfaces in your background.

Use an existing video in your Library recorded in front of a green screen

Note: This video does not include the Save button option. Look at step 8 below to get a better idea of the difference between the Save button and the Save as New button.

  1. Record a video in front of a green screen, using any of our apps OR upload a video of you in front of a green screen
  2. Once uploaded, navigate to your OneMob Library and click on the video
  3. Click the name of your video
  4. Click Green Screen icon mceclip0.png
  5. Click Choose Background
  6. Pick the Video or Image background
    • Tip: You can use the search bar to look for a specific video or background image. Also, you can adjust the Filter to show one of the following options - All, My, Shared with Me, Shared by Me, Starred, or By Team.
  7. Click Save or Save as New
    • Save - Will save the background directly into the original video. Note, you will not be able to revert back to how the video looked without the background if you decide to do this.
    • Save as New - Will create a copy of the video with the chosen background. The original video will not be changed.
      • Tip: You can make one video and use the Save as New button and add different backgrounds at your liking!

Tips & Tricks

  • This is great if you want to reuse the same video but customize the background by client. 
  • If you have a recording of a Powerpoint use it as a background and present your project.
  • Record a prominent location or an event and deliver the experience via green screen.
