Blurry edges with movement – green screen

[Rafael Amador]

No much to do Brian.
When shooting for Croma key is very convenient to rise the shutter speed to avoid this issue.
Cheers,

I never thought of that. What shutter speed would you recommend?

And thanks,
Brian

as high as you have light, and as high as you visually accept.
(High shutter speeds result in a ‘strobing’ movement.)

Could be the software.

I use After Effects with Primatte. It’ll key stray hair, translucent material and deals nicely with motion blur. Here’s an example:

Shutter is 1/60. 1080p30.

Dean – That looks great. What camera and codec did you shoot with?

My challenge is the project is a two camera shoot with many cuts and emotive broll mixed in. So, to take it all into AE, and then back into FCP, and then make revisions would be overwhelming. I’m also working on a Mac G5 Dual 2.7, and I do not have an AJA card. Otherwise, I was at first going to use Keylight in FCP. That said, Keylight for FCP actually does a great job – though not as good as Primatte.

Brian… That was shot with a Sony EX1. XDCam EX format, 1080p30.

You sold that really well. I loved that you had her hair blowing, and that you were able to get the shadows to be in the right perspective.
