CapCut’s Chroma Key feature allows you to remove a specific color, like green or blue, from a video, making it easy to create stunning visual effects. Whether you’re overlaying subjects onto new backgrounds or creating professional-looking compositions, the green screen tool provides flexibility and precision.

Steps to Use the Green Screen Feature in CapCut #

  1. Import the Main Video:
    Start by adding your main video to the timeline. This will serve as the background for your green screen effect.
  2. Add the Overlay Video:
    Tap the Overlay icon and add your green screen video on top of the main clip. This positions the overlay video on a separate track above the background video.
  3. Access the Chroma Key Tool:
    Select the overlay clip and open its editing toolbar. Swipe through the options at the bottom until you find the Chroma Key icon.
  4. Pick the Color to Remove:
    Use the color picker tool to identify the color you want to remove (e.g., green or blue). Drag the picker to the part of the overlay clip containing the target color.
  5. Adjust for Precision:
    • Fine-tune the Intensity slider to control how much of the selected color is removed.
    • Use the Shadow slider to smooth the edges and blend the overlay seamlessly with the background.
