  • Greenscreen on a budget – tethered mac to HDMI capture card?

    Posted by Arnljot Bringedal on March 19, 2008 at 10:30 am

    Consumer/prosumer cam with HDMI ino capturecard with HDMI – will that give me 4.2.2?

    Need a inexpensive talking head setup for greenscreen – and dont wanna use my ENG kit for this.

    Can anyone point me to a good cheap combination of cam and card?

    Why don’t you rent and get higher quality?

    Canon HV30 and Decklink Intensity. $1000 for camera, $300 for the card.

    I had to do a budget greenscreen shoot on DV and used a plug-in called “VectorKey” (https://www.oakstreetsoftware.com/)- It’s $60 bucks and does a really solid job for a talking head situation. Sure, 4:2:2 acquisition is going to be a lot better than DV or HDV, but as with every production you have to figure out where your money is best spent and also try to make the most out of your production day–a tethered system may cost you more in time (and time is money) so renting a 4:2:2 solution, or doing the best you can with DV or HDV footage may make the most financial and artistic sense.
