17 Nov Three Ways to Make Green Screen Videos

Posted at 10:48h in education by

Making a green screen video can be a lot of fun for students and also a lot of fun for peers, parents, and teachers to watch. Ten years later I still occasionally refere to this video from Greg Kulowiec’s middle school class as an example of a fun green screen project. Making a green screen video can seem intimidating at first, but once you’ve tried it a time or two you’ll find that it’s not as complicated as it might seem. Today there are lots of tools for making green screen videos. Here are the three I typically recommend and introduce to teachers. 

Make a Green Screen Video in iMovie
If you have access to a Mac or an iPad, this is the tool to use. It’s free (provided you already have a modern Mac or iPad) and has just enough features to make a nice green screen video, but not so many features that it takes a long time to learn how to use it. Watch this video to learn how to make a green screen video in iMovie on a Mac. Watch this one to learn how to make a green screen video on an iPad.

WeVideo
For Chromebook users and Windows users, WeVideo is my go-to recommendation. Here’s a demonstration of how it works.

Zoom + Adobe Spark
If you don’t have a physical green screen to record in front of, you could use Zoom’s built-in virtual green screen capability then import that video into Adobe Spark for final editing. Watch this video to learn how that is done.
