Green Screening
What is Green Screening?
The newscast, motion picture and video game industries rely heavily on green screening. Green screening is a special effects technique for layering two images and/or video streams together to create one. This allows the creators to place photo and / or video content on top of a different background, removing the pre-existing background altogether. The entire process works around colour hues.
Do Ink makes it easy to create incredible green screen videos and images right on your iPad or iPhone. The app lets you combine photos and videos from the camera roll with live images from your iPad or iPhone's camera. Do Ink emphasizes ease-of-use and simplicity while still enabling you to get fantastic results. With Green Screen by Do Ink, students can tell a story, explain an idea, and express themselves in truly creative and unique ways.
What do you need to get started?
