assuming softboxes are for subject - how do you light up the green screen?

When you set the lights, they should cross each other, thus canceling out any shadows the subject casts on the screen. I've used the screen 5-6 times. Haven't had any issues as of yet.

The Green Screen is not as large as they lead you to believe here, the subject has to be very close to the green screen anyway to be keyed properly. The lights are very bright so I haven't needed more for use of the green screen.

This is a soft box only, not a light. It's designed to work with lights similar to the NEEWER 180.

Hi KImberly! No- technically you don't! If you use certain software that can cleanly extract a person or object out of a background, no you don't have to get a green screen. That being said, Clive at the EZBackground company can walk you through if you contact him. I believe he has replied to many customers questions on the forum. Also, I use Photoshop 7 but lean on Photoshop Elements 9. THey just released version 12- and it doesn't sound like they added a tremendous amount of features that people should feel compelled to get the newest version. Plenty of PSE versions around but I would not go lower than 9. Why not ask Clive your question and tell him what software you have so he can let you know if it will be compatible? I have many digital imaging programs but I bought nothing special in order to use this incredible set of cd's! And the company offers video tutorials you can watch online or even download until you get the hang of how to use certain features. It really is a fantastic buy for the price- so do consider buying it, if you speak to Clive( or any one at the company who replies to you ) and they advise if your software is compatible. This company is great and now they are sending out terrific, informative/ educational newsletters since they just enhanced their website! Good Luck, and if you buy it- have fun! :-)

Hello Ryan, honestly I haven't ever tried "green screen" or "chroma" editing before, but for the price, I would hope it could deliver. I know for some software programs the extra plug-in to enable such a feature was about $30. According to the answer Martin provided, I'd say it does have that capability.Sorry I couldn't answer your question directly!

You can use iMovie or Final Vut Pro if using a Mac. If using Windows Sony movie studio also green screen is also known as chromakey. As you key out the green or some times blue screens. So when searching that may help.

You plug a heavy extension cord to the male end on the box under the black cover (above the carrying handle), charge until the indicator turns green. All three lights will be lit.

Yes, softbox reflector is open but those comes in w/light white diffuser over the softbox reflector.So you could use diffuser to place softbox over the light to soften light.Regards,juliusworldmart2

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

It's not a touchpad- just bright green buttons and they do not light up. The screen does however

Backlit (which is standard nowadays), I'm not sure about the optical drive...

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. The screen is black, but you can change the background for something of your choice.

Not in a way that is like turning on a brighter light. After you turn the machine on, press the "Misc." button; using the Cursor, press the down arrow until "CONTRAST" shows on the display screen; then using the Value button, press either the - or + to change the contrast number anywhere from 1 (brightest) to 10 (darkest). Even with a value of 1, the display is still relatively dark due to the greenish background screen. If you still have the manual, the info is on pg. 37 under "Changing the display contrast".

The softbox is socket attached.So you should open up the softbox fully until clicked to locked.And bulb should be screwed in.Regards,kimoutlet

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)

You should have a black charger which came when you bought the system, plug the controls into that and plug it into an outlet in the wall and it will charge and when charged a light will turn green.

Hi Sarah, this softbox does not come with any type of light. It is strictly the light modifier. You will need to provide that separately. In answer to your question you could use either continuous lighting or a flash head.
