What is green screen and how can you start using it on the Capcut video editing app both on mobile [Android and iPhone] and desktop? In this article, you will learn how to use the green screen on Capcut for PC and the Capcut mobile app.
What is a Green Screen?
A green screen is a scene where a video scene is recorded that can later be removed and changed to something else using a feature called “Chroma Key.” With the green screen effect, it will become easier to remove the existing background and change it to your choice of background that matches the content of your video.
So, if you are planning a particular scene and you cannot afford to set the scene up you can use the green screen effect to shoot the scene and later remove the background and add a separate background to the scene after using the chroma key to remove the green screen background.
Now that you know what a green screen is all about let’s quickly take a look at how to use a green screen on Capcut PC and Capcut mobile.
