I want to get a green screen and i found a few packages online that include a green screen software, the green screen with the stand, and stuff like that, but no projector. Do you necessarily need a projector to use a green screen, or can you just film somebody in front of one, then use the software on the computer to make it work without a projector?
Help is much appreciated.

No, you do not need a projector.
I agree with the responder above me, aside from a good backdrop, you do need a good lighting and a good camera.
I suggest you first practice with ready-made green screen videos. There are a lot of green screen videos which you can download for free. I download free clips from http://www.filmvaultstudios.com to practice my editing skills. As I learned more, I also get the idea on how to set up good lighting and backdrop by observing the alpha channel clips that I download.
Good luck!
No, you don’t need a projector at all to do green screen.
Just record your subjects in front of the green screen, and the software will replace the green area of the image with the video or image you provide.
You d not need a projector for the greenscreen to work. The biggest thing you need for it to work correctly, is a good software and good even lighting. If the lighting isnt even, then your gonna have problems with it. I just barely finished a project in school using a greenscreen, and it didnt work becuas lighting was bad, aswell as the camera. I suggest before buying anything , make sure you have correct lighting and a good quality camera
