Shooting Greenscreen for a Black&White Video
I’m not going for the Sin City effect completely, but I do want that kinda of crisp look with the blacks. I’ve only done green screen once, and I’m not sure if there’s a difference when shooting for Black & White. If I take out the saturation, wouldn’t that delete my chroma key green too?

You need to shoot in color, then do your keying, then go to black and white.

Okay, I see. So do you think I can make the Black & White colors really crisp (with lots of contrast) though the FCP color corrector? Or should I send my FCP timeline to the FCP Studio 2 program COLOR?

First concentrate your self in pulling a good key, then treat the picture as you need.

If you shoot correctly, then yes. Shoot for the key, pull the key, you can then use that as a travel matte for whatever you want to do afterwards.

Using Color to grade will give you much better control over gamma curves so you have more scope to work black levels and details.
If you are using Color, you should make your keys into quicktime files before sending to Color.
