Green Screen Workflow
I’m editing a kids pilot shot on green screen with several cuts and scenes. What is the standard workflow for this kind of project? Should I key out all my footage first and then import into FCP? Or should I make my edits in FCP first and then bring it back into AFX to pull keys?

I would cut the sequence in FCP, and then export the clips wth 1-2 second handles.

I’ve been doing this a lot lately. I’d highly recommend buying Automatic Duck Pro Import AE. Edit in FCP, export the xml for work in AE, then finish there. It’s one less step of potential compression.

Hey Derek,
You defenitly start editing the video in FCP and then export all your cuts for AE.(QT export)
Be sure your edit is approved by the client(with still the key). Aldo they probebly wont know what you are talking about…but try.
Or buy Automatic duck. But its expensive.
Or use Premiere Pro, who’s better integrated with AE.
I think for keying PP is the best option. FCP and keying is not very nice.
But there are some plugins..T.
MacPRo intel quad core 2 G RAM
External Maxtor & Iomega disks
AE 7.0, CS PSD & AI
FCP 5.1 studio
