Why we like it

Green Screen Magic covers image, video, and image sequence keying in one add-on that lives in Blender's tool shelf, with any-color keying and real-time preview.

What is Green Screen Magic?

Green Screen Magic handles color keying directly within Blender, removing backgrounds from images and videos. It is integrated into Blender's tool shelf and opened via the View3D > Tool Shelf menu, where you load an image, video, or image sequence and pick the color to key out.

The add-on is not limited to green. You can select any color to key out and adjust low and high threshold along with softness. A live update feature previews your keyed-out content in real time as you change parameters. An image sequence mode recognizes and processes sequences automatically, and video support covers popular formats including MP4, AVI, and MOV.

The download includes the fully-featured add-on along with lifetime updates for compatibility with future Blender versions. It is positioned for video editors, compositors blending real-world footage with 3D assets, and Blender users expanding their keying toolkit. Green Screen Magic runs under a GPL license and works across several Blender versions.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Green Screen Magic support?

Green Screen Magic lists support for Blender 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, and 3.6. The add-on also includes lifetime updates intended to keep it compatible with future Blender versions, so coverage is meant to extend beyond the currently listed releases.

This keeps the keying workflow inside Blender rather than requiring a separate step.
