Green Screen Effects
ALIVE includes a dedicated Green Screen effect that lets you place your guests in front of any background — no physical green screen required.
How It Works
The Green Screen effect uses AI to detect your guests and replace the background with any image you upload. It's a special built-in effect type — separate from regular AI effects and custom prompt effects.
- You upload background images — the scenes you want your guests placed into
- The AI detects the subject and separates them from whatever is behind them
- Your uploaded background is composited behind the guest automatically
No color spill. No lighting nightmares. No wrinkled green fabric.
Setting Up Green Screen
- Go to the Effects tab
- Find the Green Screen effect
- Upload one or more background images — these are the backgrounds guests will appear in front of
- Enable the effect for your events

Benefits Over Traditional Green Screen
Feature | Traditional Chroma Key | ALIVE Green Screen |
|---|---|---|
Physical screen needed | Yes | No |
Precise lighting required | Yes | No |
Color spill on subjects | Common issue | Not applicable |
Works with any backdrop | No — green/blue only | Yes — any backdrop |
Setup time | 30+ minutes | Under 2 minutes |
That said, you can still use a physical green screen or solid-color backdrop if you want. A clean, consistent background behind your guests gives the AI even better results — but it's not required.
Tips
- Subject separation matters — The AI works best when there's clear separation between the guest and the background. Avoid busy, cluttered backdrops behind your guests when possible.
- Test before the event — Always run a few test shots with your chosen background images before going live.
- Build a library — Collect background images for different event types so you can swap them quickly between gigs.
Use Case Ideas
- Corporate events — Place guests in front of the company HQ, a branded cityscape, or a futuristic office
- Weddings — Transport guests to a vineyard, a sunset beach, or a flower garden
- Themed parties — Drop guests into outer space, a red carpet, or a vintage postcard
- Product launches — Put guests alongside the new product in a stylized studio setting
The only limit is your background image collection. Build a library and swap them between events for endless variety.
