Perhaps there are still some green edges around your subject that are visible in the preview window.

Further refine your Power Window shape with the values under Transform (your shape’s position, angle, and opacity settings) and Softness (the softness of your shape’s edges) in the Window workspace.

Just make sure the Power Window will not crop out your subject’s head or hands as they move. For example, if you’re editing a talking head and there’s a scratch on your green screen you want to crop out, you can shrink the edges of the footage.

Readjust the edges of the Power Window by clicking and dragging the points on its outline.

Select the Shape you want your Power Window to be.

Now the space outside of your Power Window will appear as whatever’s on the video track below by default. Anything on the same layer that is outside of the Power Window’s boundaries is cropped out. Basically, anything in your green screen footage that’s inside the Power Window will be visible.

This is a useful technique if you want to resize or reposition your green screen layer. This can be done with Power Windows, also known as masks. With some green screen footage, you may find it necessary to crop out undesirable objects that made their way into the frame.

Of course, you’ll need a minimum of two: one clip with a green screen, and one clip to replace the green screen. To start your project, decide which multimedia clips you want to use and import your files. Or you can explore the other green screen images in our library if you don’t already have any footage to use. For this example, we’ll be using this green screen stock footage if you’d like to download and follow along. In DaVinci Resolve, it will take you just a few steps to go from two separate clips to a simple composite image. Part 1: How to Edit Green Screen Footage in DaVinci Resolve
