Green Screen but low res

	Re: Green Screen but low res by Dave LaRonde on Apr 29, 2009 at 6:10:45 pm Sorry, there's no magic bullet when green-screening DV. As a chroma-keying codec, DV plain-old stinks on ice. Here's why that's so: http://macbreak.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=70596 Take the time to watch the whole thing: it could be the most informative fifteen minutes you spend this week. By the way -- true 1920x1080 cameras with 4-4-4 color resolution DO indeed exist. They only cost about $150,000: the Sony Cine Alta series. Panasonic probably makes a few models, too, and just as pricey. Most people settle for 4-2-2 color resolution. You probably do, too, but you just weren't aware of it. There's no two ways around it: you'll have to do a LOT more work to pull a good key. You MIGHT think about getting DV Garage's DV Matte Pro, but it's still going to be a pain in the neck to pull a key, and don't expect miracles. DV's a real downer, no?
