Green Screen Keying in Blender (Tutorial)

video preview

Our very own Master Compositing in Blender course creator, Daniel Nees, just released a brand-new tutorial on green screen keying in Blender.

What makes this one stand out is that you’re learning directly from a professional compositor currently working in the VFX industry. Daniel walks you through the entire workflow and shares some lesser-known tricks for cleaning up your keys.

Also worth noting is that Daniel just published the final two chapters of his Master Compositing in Blender course! That means the 20% Early Bird Discount is ending soon.

📅 20% OFF Early Bird Discount ends August 22nd, 2025, 23:59 CEST.

🎟️ If you want to join in time, use the code EARLYBIRD20 during checkout.
