    Hello all.
    Does anyone mind giving a quick overview of how to shoot with green screen and then manipulate it in FCP. (do’s and dont’s) What would I use once I bring the footage into FCP? Croma Key?
    Nothing crazy fancy but just a basic figure infront of a “fake” background, lets say the image of the moon or something in background.
    thanks alot
    -Mark

    There’s a lot of information you need to learn to make this happen properly. Search this forum for green screen and chroma key and you should find everything you need. The Ken Stone site also has a lot of good info.

    do not use cromakey. the results will not be very good.
