Thanks again, I will check out all of these cameras before we make our decision. But I have used the P2 system. I’m not sure what I think of it, It is not cheap though. But like I said, I think I’m leaning towards the JVC.

Thanks! I have keyed in DV as well (xL2) and it works fine. But thats still a 4000.00 camera. See i’m working with the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Professional DV Cameras. Keying with our GL2 always gives me problems. and I am never happy with the over all quality, and I would like to skip any extra work I might have to do. Plus, my boss is offering to get a better camera, So why turn that down!!
Thanks for the tip of keeping the subjects lighting different then the screen. I know you have to light them separately but never thought about keeping the Lumanace levels different between the two.
as far as a Camera, I’m looking into the JVC GY-HD100U. But I will look into the camera that you recommended.
Oh, and I’m glad to see Wisconsin keeping it real 🙂 We are in Madison.

Thanks for the response,
I really want to steer clear of 4:1:1. I have had nothing but problems with this sample rate and chroma keying. Even when I have a nice, evenly lit screen and talent standing 10 feet away. I know its possible, but the problems out weight the benefits.
To rephrase my question. If you have 5000.00 and were told to buy a camera that would be used mostly for green screen shoots. What camera would you buy?

Well, in a quick explanation with out actually trying to do it. I would try the following.
First-you need your background that you want to reveal. They use a white background with a light red gradient.
Second– You need some growing flower/vines video with a alpha channel. The best way to do this, so your vines/flowers will have a alpha channel background, would be to do it yourself.
If you don’t know how too do this, here is a great tutorial.

Third-Once your vine video is created you need to turn your vines pure white. Try using the effect>color correction>colorama or effect>color correction>exposer and then place the growing video on top of the background, (make sure it is directly above the background).
Forth– On the background change the track matte (trkmat) to “Luma Matte” – If you don’t see it on the layer, try hitting the F4 button.
Fifth– I would Make a duplicate of your back ground (make sure it does not have a track matte on) and place it at the bottom of the layers. The double click on the Rectangle mask, Feather about 50px, bring the expansion down to about -180 (or more, untill the background it gone) and Keyframe the expansion up, untill it reveals the background.
Now if you are doing this all from scratch, don’t expect this to be a quick project.
Hope it all works well.

My boss has asked me the following question. “if we had a zoom feature on our website like the following example,” https://www.landsend.com/pp/BeachLivingSideShirredJerseySwimMini153~176295_59.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::TVY&CM_MERCH=IDX_00006_0000000173_0000000644&origin=index “how large can we have the image without slowing down most browsers.”
The problem is. I am their video guy. I really don’t do much web work So I am confused on how to answer this question or even where i could find this answer find a answer. To me it seems simple. I would say as large as you can get a 72dpi image (example 1000×700). But I dont really have anything to back this answer. SO Any help would be awesome!!

first, it might not be your ram. I got these same error messages as well and it turned out to be the size of the still images I was using.
If you have images in your time line make sure they are not super hi-rez or 300 dpi, and I wound try to stick with Jpegs.
If you are using images that are 300 dpi try bumping them down to 150.

Also in your Preferences adobe recommends you change the setting optimize rendering for – “memory” but this means that when rendering Premiere will use as much memory as it can.
So exit out of other programs 🙂
Hope this helps!

This will be going online flash video for a website I work for.
And yes, I know the quality doesn’t have to be 100% HD when putting on as a flash video, with all the quality loss, size issues, and such.
But, I have worked with other peoples footage in HD to get it ready for there website and compressed them to a flv file and it looked great! Im just stuck on getting the video from After Effects to come out looking awesome.
So any help will be awesome

i guess sort of an answer to my own question. But if others have this problem its not a software issue, its hardware. I switched computers and it works fine now.
if anyone has anymore answers let me know
