Re: HDV Acceptable Format for Greenscreen?

It's Tim...

...and how real it will look will have more to do with you than how the keyer works.

Is the footage in the background outdoors? Then light your foreground subject with 5600K light and make sure you're shooting with the proper white balance.

Where is the principal light source? Light your foreground subject accordingly.

Color correction is also important...foreground and background need the same palette to be believeable.

Can Ultra do what you want to do? Absolutely.

Can your crew do what you want to do...different question.

Ultra can't do it alone. No keyer can. Cutting a clean edge is about 10% of a believeable composite.
