What do I need to use this product before I buy it? Do I need to purchase a green screen and other special software?

No not necessarily, if you are good with photoshop, you can cut people out of the picture and place them on the background making it look natural.. I do own a green screen for photography, but it's mainly for video purposes..

Hi Kimberly:You don not need a Green screen. You can use Photoshot CS to remove the background, Clive from EzBackground have a video on, how to remove backgrounds and insert EzBackgrounds in the Photos. You will enjoy the EzBackgrounds, they have it for every possible senario. I recomend the this product, get the set it is easy to work with, Clive is very helpful. Enjoy and happy shooting.

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! :-)

I've had mine for over a year, and I can't remember if it came with any proprietary software or not. Either way, I would just get some free 3rd party software that you can use to take screenshots of your video. Good luck! The camera rocks!

Yes all you need is the screen. Your purchase will come with all the necessary tools to fix it. Just be careful when taking it apart

It should be come with the kit but don't buy it. Waste money because the screen doesn't work. It's all black after install with a professional. I rather pay extra to people install it in front of me.

Once you have a camera and recording software set up, you stream using Open Broadcast Software. Once you have a source set up, you right click on it and click on preferences. Then check chromakey and select the color of your green screen using the color selector. Done! Stream away. (Sorry I don't know how to get a ps4 connected to computer for streaming and recording. Search it up. If you're wondering how you hang it just get some PVC pipe and hang it from the ceiling and clip the screen to it. Its got a loop on the top for sticking small rods through too.

It may have been defective. My touchscreen worked, but had a greenish tint to it. I pulled it off and am using a screen guard. You should contact the vendor and request an exchange. Good Luck.

You need an HDMI cable for sound and picture and there should have been a USB cable that came with it to hook it up to your computer for the touch screen functionality.

Very (very) tentative yes. I remember in the directions there was info about extra screens. But please note, I am not a technician, not even a technie.

It must have the software because you need to install it after you have open the box. Contact the person or place where you bought it.

I never opened the screen as it was tightly wrapped. I assume that it was of the same demensions as the screen I received with Pinnacle 14 about 6ft x 6ft. Agter a lot of reading on green screen an experimenation I have found that larger screens are needed along with good lighting. Look on Amazon for green screens and you will find some good set-ups. The screen you will receive will work for simple projects. George

I bought clamps to help stretch and hold the screen on the frame. Other than that you just need a video camera and video editing software.

I found the chroma keying feature to be excellent. You can take a sample of your green-screen's color and fine tune the tolerance with the program. You can download a trial at the sony vegas website to experiment with that feature.

I think it comes with a CD so I would install the software on it. It has been awhile since I set mine up.
