How to Use a Green Screen Virtual Set in OBS

Hang your green screen behind your presenter/subject/jedi, setup your lights and position your camera.  In our video tutorial, we used a webcam, but you can use either a webcam or another camera that you can use as a video input device on your computer. 

When lighting your green screen, be sure to remove as many wrinkles as possible from your green screen materials and light the screen as evenly as possible. This will help the computer to remove just the green from your scene.

In the bottom left hand corner of the screen, create a new video capture device/source and select your webcam or video source.

To configure your video source, double click it in the source list. You can then adjust zoom, crop, focus, sharpness and apply a chrome key to remove the green screen in the scene. 

Adjust your zoom, focus and sharpness in the configure video source panel.

Using the scale and position tools, scale and position your talent / presenter in the scene. 

Right click your webcam / video source and click filters

If your video seems a little soft/fuzzy, try adding a sharpen filter as well.

Add a chroma key effect to remove the green screen in your scene.

Select either color type or custom color to sample your green screen for removal.

Close the filter box after you are happy with your chroma key. Next, drag a virtual set from finder / windows explorer to your source list. OBS accepts mp4, jpeg, PNG and many other file types to be used as background sources.

If you are using a looping video for your background, double click the loop name to display the input properties. In the properties, you can set the clip to loop. 

If needed, re-position your presenter in your scene. 

Now that you have your main scene setup, you can easily duplicate your scene and make changes to the backdrop and position of your presenter that you can then recall live during your stream.

To transition between scenes you have created, you can simply select the scene in the bottom left hand corner of the screen and OBS will automatically transition between the scenes. 

Using this technique, you can use multiple virtual sets, angles and scenes to create a varied broadcast.

If you would like to add a tv monitor to your scene you can either add a scene that contains a monitor or just add the video feed and scale / position the video into your scene. 

In our example, we have a monitor with a green screen in it, we will add a chroma key effect to the virtual set source and remove the green in the monitor to show the b-roll video on the layer below.

Drag and drop video and/or images into your scene area from finder / windows file explorer. 

Coffee tastes have changed so much that I remember around 2012. It's is after all the seed of a fruit. From then on, we began to work at a gradual pace, turning up the brightness a little, season after season. Today we can proudly craft a coffee with notes of lemon meringue, strawberry or passionfruit and find people on all sides of the counter are learning and developing their pallets.
