SD is never gonna look as good.
Your best bet I think, is to edit in HD and use the bmd card to feed the beta with a down convert.

Have both comps hooked up to the same network and file share or you then have to drag a file onto the FW drive from one comp, unmount and then plug it into the othe comp. or you get into fiber share and edit off the same raid.

Make sure you’re creating a DVD, as in standard def, not a hddvd.

You should look up some tutorials here on the cow and YouTube and the net on green screen work, as you’ve discovered, lighting is very important. You can apply several keys at a time, but you can tweak the settings you’ll learn from the tutorials. AE has. A good keyer.

Forget about it.

FORMAT THE CARD.

It’s the best way.
Shoot a bit, off-load, shoot a bit more, that’s a pain to keep straight.

Off-load all of card to hard drive. Back that up to a second hard drive.
Format card in cam for next shoot.
But, you should have more then 1 card too. So you could alternate and not shoot over the card you just used if you wanted to do that.

Well, to open up your project on another comp you would transfer:

1. Adobe PP Project File
2. All video and Audio files in the proj.
3. All other media used in the proj.

Now, the version of CS needs to be the same or newer on the machine you are going to. You’ll need to re-link your media, point the edit app to the location of the media files.

To transfer just a video clip.
Export from the sequence to a hi res file.
Ex: on a mac, I would create a “P2” file – which can be opened up on any pro editing system going forward.

or a MOV file using Prores,

or use QT uncompressed,

If on a WIN machine, use the AVI equivalent. But you can still use the P2 option for a WIN to WIN machine or a Mac to WIN or whatever.

I find CS6 to be well worth it and a huge improvement for the Mac side anyways.

Are you looking to open up the project on another computer?
Or, are you looking to export a video file to be opened up on another comp.?
