Green Screen Removal in the Composition Editor
Drop in a video shot against a green screen and the Composition Editor will key it out automatically. Tune sensitivity, clean up edges, and remove green spill: no plugins.
What's New
Green Screen Removal is now built into the Composition Editor.
Drop a video or image overlay onto your composition. Toggle on Green Screen Removal. The system keys out the green background automatically. What's left is your subject, ready to composite over any background.
No plugins. No external software. No special hardware on the source side beyond a green sheet and decent lighting.
What You Can Do
One-Click Toggle
Select any video or image overlay in the Composition Editor. In the right-side panel, find Green Screen Removal and flip the switch. Done, the green is gone.
Sensitivity Control
Use the Sensitivity slider (0–500) to control how aggressively the system removes green:
Lower values (50–100): only removes pure green. Use when your green screen is well-lit and clean.
Mid values (100–250): removes most green tones. The most common setting.
Higher values (300–500): aggressive removal for poorly lit screens or very mixed greens.
Advanced Tuning
Open Advanced Settings for finer control:
Red Threshold and Blue Threshold, control which non-green colors are preserved
Green Minimum: the brightness of green considered for removal
Edge Smoothing: softens the cutout edges so subjects blend more naturally
Spill Removal: desaturates green tint that bleeds onto your subject from the screen reflection
For most subjects, the default settings work. Reach for advanced settings if you see artifacts (green halos, jagged edges, missing parts of your subject).
Why It Matters
Green screen used to be a production studio feature. Now it's a browser slider.
Use cases:
Branded backgrounds for your live show, replace your home office with a custom backdrop
Cleaner panel layouts: guests appearing as silhouettes on a shared background
Themed broadcasts: holiday backdrops, branded sets, virtual studios
Talking-head video clips: composited over background music videos or visualizers
Corporate streaming: uniform branded background regardless of where each presenter is
How to Use It
Set up your subject in front of a green screen (a wrinkle-free green sheet, evenly lit)
Record or upload the video
In the Composition Editor, drop the video onto your composition
Open the Green Screen Removal panel for that overlay
Toggle it on
Adjust sensitivity until the keying looks clean
Position your subject on top of any background you like

Tips for Best Results
Even lighting matters most. Light the green screen separately from your subject. Avoid shadows on the screen.
Distance from the screen. Stand 4–6 feet in front of the green to avoid green spill on your skin and clothes.
Don't wear green. Obviously.
Solid green works better than printed green. Wrinkles and texture create artifacts.
HD or higher source. Lower-resolution sources have noisier color, which keys badly.
