Are you selecting all of your media when you go to reconnect or just one clip?

You have to select all of the clips that you want to reconnect in order to do more than one at a time. The option to reconnect media in all relative files doesn’t really do much.

I have experience in post with traditional green screen. I found that DV Garage and Boris Continuum keyers work exceptionally well. They can be had for $200 and $300, respectively.

A show that I am working on has switched to the Reflecmedia system this year from traditional green screen last year so that they didn’t have to carry kenos in the field.

I have noticed that the footage is slightly grainy. This is definitely not a hardware issue as it was shot with Varicam in DVCPro HD 720p24. It is not likely a shooter issue since we have a very experienced DP. I suspect that Reflecmedia’s LED ring causes some graininess on the subject. Anyone experienced this?

I’m still struggling with getting a good key. Before you do a complete re-shoot, I’d suggest running tests with traditional green screen and with various settings using Reflecmedia.

The camera on Auto was definitely not a good idea. I think the LED ring and reflective background will fool the internal light meter. You should probably adjust the camera exposure for how the subject is lit and then turn on and adjust the LED ring so that the green screen isn’t completely blown out. Again, anyone else have experience with this?

Hope this helps and let me know if you get any other good advice.
