When setting up a green screen, users often encounter a fabric with two different textures. Choosing the correct side impacts the quality of your final video:

: Use separate lights for the subject and the green screen. Lighting the screen independently helps maintain a consistent color value across the entire background.

: Stand at least one meter (about 3 feet) away from the screen. This creates depth of field and minimizes the green light bouncing back onto your hair or clothes.

: While the reflective side can sometimes be easier to "key" because it appears brighter, it often creates uneven lighting and reflections. These reflections can make a subject appear to have a green tint or "halo". Best Practices for Setup
