Re: Better EX3 settings for Greenscreen ?

As has been stated elsewhere on the Cow, it's a good idea to ask your client what they plan to use for the keying, and determine the optimal exposure recommended for that product. Keylight, the keying plugin included with After Effects for example, recommends 74 ire. I think there used to be the belief, (shared by me) that a darker, more saturated green was desirable. Not true - 30 ire is way too low. You can pull a nice key with XDCAM, but you've got to be extra vigilant with the lighting and exposure.
