How to Use the Green Screen Feature
Legacy Article: This article covers the legacy FMBooth (Windows + iPadOS) software. FMBooth (Windows + iPadOS) has been replaced by FMX. See FMX documentation →
Setting the Background
To implement the green screen filter in FMBooth software, you'll need to add your background image through the layout design interface. Here's the process:
-
Add the background image by clicking the [Photo+] icon and browsing for your desired background file.
-
Layer properly by dragging and dropping the background layer behind the DSLR state in the layers list—the background photo state should be positioned above the DSLR element.
-
Adjust sizing to your preferences; you can match the background size to your DSLR item, the full layout dimensions, or another custom size.
Important Setup Requirements
For optimal chroma key performance, the software requires:
- A high-quality physical green screen backdrop
- At least 2 continuous lighting points
- Sufficient space to avoid shadows on the subject
Note: "The filter will be applied to the final preview of your photo and will not be applied to the raw preview."
Alternative Option
If you prefer not to use a physical green screen, FMBooth offers a Cloud AI Background Removal feature that eliminates the need for a physical backdrop entirely.
Multi-Photo Layouts
For presets containing multiple photos, you can assign different backgrounds to each individual photo as needed.
