Xbox One Upload Studio Now Lets You Do Green Screen Tricks With Just The Kinect
Microsoft is rolling out a big update to Upload Studio on the Xbox One. In addition to new maximum video length of 30 minutes, users will find a number of new features on board.
Users can now load videos with up to 15 different segments. There are new title cards, splash screens, templates, and transitions.
One of the more clever updates makes use of the Kinect 2.0’s ability to discern the human body from the rest of the scene. Using the camera, Upload Studio now includes a green screen feature with a number of backgrounds.
Manipulating the clips within the timeline appears easy, but templates are there for those users that would prefer a faster path. Using one is as simple as dropping your clips into designated spots in the preset configuration.
You can check out all the new features in the video above.

Our Take
Upload Studio isn’t just a fun and easy tool, it’s a smart social hook. Giving users more flexibility with it is likely to bring more creators to the table, too. I’m curious to see what people come up with.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
