What’s The Better Keying Format To SHoot…. 720p or 1080i?
I have the Sony EX1… I am shooting a greenscreen shot…
I am using AECs3 with keylight to composite…
What’s format should I shoot in … 720p or 1080 to get the better key & why?
Thanks very much

The more pixels, the easier some keying operations become because you have less color spill. I believe the EX1 also povides full HD 1080p shooting in 35MBps.
Bear in mind that this advantage can become a disadvantage if you do not know how to properly set up the chroma key environment. The advantage of the EX1 is that you can put the camera far from the subject so that the green screen itself is not in focus so imperfections in the lighting and screen disappear.
Do not that you need a good editing card to edit the EX1 material or at least a killer workstation (say, an 8-core Mac with 8GB RAM and a nice RAID array drive)
Hope this helps. -
Thanks… I’m not quite sure what you mean about The EX1 being good for pulling the camera away from the subject… cant you do this with any camera? Why do you say the EX1 is good for this?
Thanks for your help
