Simple Green Screen Effects to Make Your Videos Dazzle

These days, hollywood style special effects are within the reach of any video producer with the right software and some creativity. The video below is a simple example of what you can do with easy green screen effects to add some futuristic elements to your video. This effect was created without any special green screen materials or other expensive equipment. Green sheets of paper and Adobe After Effects was all it took to transform our regular old break room table into a virtual coffee materializing machine from the future.

Here are some before and after shots that show how it was done.

The steps to create this effect are fairly straightforward.

1. Shoot some background video of the scene with nothing in the foreground
2. Shoot video of the action with sheets of green paper where you need to add digital elements
3. Create some digital items you want to insert into the scene
4. Combine it all in After Effects by layering the elements together and removing the green with the keylight green screen filter

Amazing video content has never been more accessible to small and medium sized businesses. So let your imagination run wild on your next video project and create something that's never been seen before!
