Introduction: How to Make a Green Screen Video From an App
In this instructable I will show you how to make and use a green screen for making photos and videos. There are several green screen apps out there you can use to get the right effect.
Materials Needed:
- Video recording device (could be iPod, iPad, or iPhone)

Step 1: Decide on an App
As well as built in videos, you can also import videos & pictures of your own. Amaze your friends by appearing in a starring role alongside your favorite movie or pop star. Or show them your holiday to the seven wonders of the world without actually having been there.

Step 3: Follow the Directions in Your App
Many times you will tap the green space in the background to adjust the effect.
You also need to import the video you want to use, or choose one provided by the app.
