Blending Photos

As apart of the, "Where I want to Be" project I used my participation in the ROTC Bulldog Battalion as my selected green screen photo. With the assistance of Mr. Harwood and Adobe Premiere Po I was able to follow steps to edit the photo.

1. Open Adobe Premiere Pro to a new project and name the project 

2. In Premiere Pro, go at top to File then Import 3. Import the both the Green Screen photo or video and what will become its background image, whether a still shot or video 4. Drag the background shot in V1 in the Storyboard 5. Then drag the Green Screen still or clip to the V2 channel in the Storyboard 6. If you are using still shots for this project, make the Storyboard clips smaller by double clicking on them in the preview/program screen a. Blue boxes will appear around the image- grab corner to resize; click on blue line on side to move the green screen image within the background image

 7. Use the drag bar at the bottom left of the Storyboard to adjust the length of clips 8. Next, to top toolbar and click on Windows 9. In the Windows drop down menu, go to Effects 10. The Effects tools will appear in the lower left part of the screen 11. Scroll down to Keying in the Effects menu 12. Click on Keying then in that menu list double click on Ultra Key 13. Ultra Key menu will open under Effects Control to the left of the View Box 14. When going to Ultra Key, in the Timeline click on the interview in Video 2 (not the background image) 15. Click on the dropper icon to the right of Key Color 16. Then click in the Green Screen area of your image- click the dropper in the green area, not on the image that you want to superimpose over the background 

17. The two images should now be blended 18. To change the size of your Green Screen image, click on Motion in the Effect Control Ultra Key box 19. Can again double click on the “inside” image to move and resize 20. While doing this make sure you are clicked on your Green Screen image in the Storyboard 21. If video clip or photo is not filling the program/preview screen, right click on the clip in the storyboard and click on “scale to frame size” to make image fill the screen 

22. Add text to your project- go to top, click title---new title---then default still- name title but it is not the wording that will appear with your image 23. Title screen opens- click within this screen to write (make sure the cursor in the storyboard is at the point where title will go 24. Type wording then select font style 25. Make font size smaller or larger by changing font size number from 100- put in larger number to make size bigger; smaller number to make smaller 26. Use move arrow tool to position text/titling where you want it to go 27. Click out of the titling/text screen- what you wrote is saved in the scene bin 28. Place title in Video Channel 3 in the storyboard 29. To save or render an image such as a blended green screen project, click the small camera icon at the bottom right of the program/preview screen 30. New screen opens to name image,locate where to save it, and click jpeg also
