Halo 4 Green Screen Object Tutorial (Screenshots & Video Tutorial)

Posted on by

Hi there, Chief Landless here once again. I’ve had some experience with multiple video editing and photo editing software through my “YouTube journey”. I’ve strived to become self-sufficient and create everything that my channel requires.

You guys demanded a tutorial after I quickly made a video experimenting with the Green Screen object on Forge Island within minutes of its release. I have improved my settings and process and I’m here to share.

This tutorial involves three programs:

  • Sony Vegas Pro 12
  • Adobe Photoshop CS6
  • Adobe After Effects CS6

You don’t need all three programs, but it’s recommend to have them all to produce the best product. But each can handle the job and produce varying degrees of quality.

I go through the process for each software. If you have any questions, leave a comment on the video and I will be glad to help!

I hope you found this helpful.

Share this with your friends, leave a like, or subscribe for more Halo content.

Halo 4’s Forge Island is NOW AVAILABLE!

Posted on by

This weeks Halo Bulletin stated that the latest Halo 4 Forge Environment Map, Forge Island, was ahead of schedule.

The initial launch date when they announced it was April 11th, 2013. But, to our surprise, Forge Island is available as of today March 29th, 2013!

It is free to download and has a few new pieces to forge with, including some new rocks, trees, and green screens!

Here’s my not so secret video that I made using the in-game green screen object. Which, works much better on screenshots than videos. But still awesome!

PAX East 2013 Halo 4 Panel Video & Recap

Posted on by

Thanks to PodtacTV for providing us the entire panel video before Halo Waypoint has even uploaded theirs.

The panel discussed many specific multiplayer news in regards to Halo 4. Here’s the breakdown if you can’t watch the entire 1 hour panel video:

Competitive Skill Ranking

  • You will have a 1-50 ranking in every single playlist, including Grifball!
  • CSR is still exclusive to Halo Waypoint – shows up on the Xbox & Website!
  • CSR rank will show up along side your matchmaking history on Halo Waypoint
  • If you haven’t played a playlist, you will won’t have a rank compared to previous Halo’s where you were automatically a rank 1
  • CSR may be reset after a long period of time to prevent account selling and ‘rank locking’, similar to Arena from Halo: Reach
  • UPDATE: CSR will launch April 8th, 2013 (Source bsangel twitter)
