how to use green screen in premiere pro
HeyBraza points at ultra key and the matte-cleanup sliders, so the edges come out clean instead of green-fringed.
green screen in premiere is one effect - ultra key - plus a few cleanup sliders most people skip, which is why the edges look crunchy. here's the whole thing, in order.
short answer
put the green-screen clip on a track above your background, drop the ultra key effect on it, and use the eyedropper next to 'key color' to click the green. then open matte cleanup and matte generation and nudge the sliders until the edges are clean and the fill is solid.
or do it yourself
- 1stack the green-screen clip on a video track above the background you want behind it.
- 2in the effects panel search 'ultra key' and drag it onto the green-screen clip.
- 3in effect controls, click the eyedropper next to 'key color' and click the green in the frame.
- 4set 'setting' to 'aggressive' as a starting point, then open matte generation and adjust transparency, highlight and shadow until the fill is solid.
- 5open matte cleanup, raise 'choke' slightly to tighten the edges and 'soften' a touch to blend - if you see green fringe, add the spill suppression.

downloadcommon questions
which effect keys out green screen in premiere pro?
ultra key. drop it on the clip, pick the green with the eyedropper, then clean the matte - premiere folded the old chroma key into ultra key, so ultra key is the one to use.
why is there still green around the edges?
that's spill. in ultra key's matte cleanup, raise 'choke' to tighten the edge and use the spill suppression, or add a slight colour correction to knock the green back.
my green screen looks patchy after keying - why?
usually uneven lighting on the screen. bump 'pedestal' and 'shadow' in matte generation, and if it's still blotchy the source footage needs a more evenly lit screen.
