  • Create Visual Effects Without a Green Screen

    Create Visual Effects Without a Green Screen

    A green screen gives you more creative freedom with your movies and gives them a more professional look. PowerDirector has two ways to change your background: the AI Background Remover and the Chroma Key/Green Screen feature. With the AI Background Remover, you can get rid of your original background and replace it with any of PowerDirector's built-in options. But the Green Screen feature gives you a blank canvas. PowerDirector has realistic backgrounds and fun patterns that you can add to make it look like you've got all the advanced tools a filmmaker needs.
