Can someone please explain to me how to use the green screen in videos I have not found any instructions anywhere
So this is really bothering me, and I have been playing around more with it. It seems that Adobe Express just isn't keyed to recognize greenscreen as the "background" of a video. Take for example this video from Adobe Stock - this is the first option that comes up when you search "green screen" in Express. It absolutely has no idea that the green area is supposed to be removed.
If you try any other video that DOESN'T have that chroma key color in it - just regular video with normal backgrounds

All you need to do is drop your video onto your workspace in Express, then click the Remove Background button in the video properties. If that doesn't work for you, please reply with a screenshot of your project and I can help further.

Ah I see, that is a strange outcome! Are you able to attach the file you're using so I can test and try to reproduce?

The problem is somehow always that I can't replace the green color. So nowhere "make what is green transparent". I'm looking for this function all the time.

If you take a green screen video and say remove background the result is always something like this. Unfortunately there is no manual or anything to read about this

Yeah, I know what you mean... Unfortunately with Express you don't have access to a lot of settings to tweak the outcome of these filters. It's designed to be user friendly, but the tradeoff is you have less control.
I just pulled a sample greenscreen footage I have and tested it out and I agree - I'm also not getting a smooth cutout. I have a big chunk of green still visible behind the character. Unfortunately I don't think there are any other tools to modify the selection in Express. For now if you have access to Rush or Premiere, you might want to give those a try as they will give you more control over this effect.

Hi @Sven35597415ul8j - Hello @JessCampbell,
There is no "Chroma Key" effect in Express. Sorry about that. You can use the other tools to remove a background, however. Check out Premiere Pro, which has an effect called Ultra Key. If you like, you can preview it in a trial version of the app. Sorry for the frustration.
Thanks,
Kevin
