    Greetings all, I just shot a fight sequence via green screen and I know how to Key out the Background and Alpha all that good stuff but I have one big question. Its a pretty long fight scene and there are allot of different angles. Whats the best way to key out the green? Do i cut the whole fight scene then Key out the green, do i Key out the shots one at a time? Any advice would be helpful.

    I’d key out one shot at a time, if you have different angles and such, it will be likely ( if not inevitable) that your shots will be lit differently and so I would do the shots separately.

    Perhaps even render them out preserving the alpha in QT format, bring them back in and work with the shots from there, it wont process it as much and may make it a little less time consuming.

    Any thoughts anyone?
