![]() I wanted to try custom, so I took the screenshot without me in it, blurred the entire green content to get a uniform color, and then picked its RGB value. And then I thought it was because the color I chose was some generic “green”, while the filter offered custom colors, too: So my train of though was that the similarity is so high because down at – say – 10, it removes practically nothing. I at first attributed it to the green screen settings. Regardless of where exactly it was, I noticed some artifacts: moving fast, waving, or doing similar things leaves some semi-transparent greenish ghosts or trails in the video feed. At about 500 I am semi-transparent, and at about 600 it removes absolutely everything, green, pink, yellow, you name it. At about 415 it starts visibly removing me (the actual content). Sliding it down to 0 removes no background, and sliding it more to the right it starts removing more and more of it. Since I have no experience with video production, one of the first things I noticed is that the Similarity slider in the screenshot above is at 400 (default). One big lesson learned for me was that default settings are almost always good enough. ![]() Configure it according to your lightning, clothing, whatever.Īs you can see, it removes the background quite nicely.Select that source in the scene, and click Filters. ![]() Forums and Stack Overflow are pretty helpful, so I learned this is how to do it: One of the first things – obviously – was to remove the green screen. Thanks to a lot of contribution on its forum by a lot of users, I quickly learned how to use it and configure it to my needs. What to say about it? It’s an open-source software ( click here if you want to contribute) and as such it’s not exactly the most user-friendly piece of software you’ve ever seen, but it gets the job done. Nice, a new piece of software for my machine. And I was right, I quickly learned people are using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) to stream and record. No problem, Google is my friend, I thought. When it arrived, I realized that I need a way to replace the green background with something, so I figured I need some sort of software to help me stream. So – what the heck – I ordered myself a green screen. Right after one of my sessions, I had a video call with Waldo, and I noticed he was using a white background. People were using some sort of background removal approach, not necessarily a green screen, but something. Some recordings I watched were of far better quality. I’ve recorded my session, and the recording was very bush-league. It wasn’t live, but it wasn’t far from it. This year due to Covid19 outbreak, Directions went online. Then another thing happened: Directions Virtual 2020. “Hello, World!”įor a while I’ve been following Erik Hougaard (sorry Erik, this time I spelled your name correctly!) and his video blog. So, this blog is a story of my journey, or adventure, with live streaming so far. Maybe it motivates you to start streaming. Tell me I am wrong if you want, but I think sharing my lessons learned is a good idea. Now, almost exactly a month later, with five total streams delivered, four of which with actual relevant content (the first was merely an introduction), I know so much more about live streaming than when I started. This year with grand total of zero live conference sessions delivered must have been a contributing factor. I don’t know where this quote comes from, a one-minute googling didn’t reveal it to me (but it isn’t mine, I’ve read it somewhere for sure).Īnyway, a month ago I started live streaming. One thing we learned from lessons learned is that we don’t learn from lessons learned.
