Thanks for your feedback. What parts of the footage are you looking at when saying too much green spill or too bright? I also thought that one should avoid auto and try to setup manually – what is the camera doing right and I am doing wrong?

[Oliver De morassé]

Nice tip Dave. For clarification, should keylight also be applied to the lower layer or any other effects – like spill suppressor?

Nice job Vince. Would it be possible to post the project for use in AE 5?

Thanks for your feedback. What do you mean when you mention “shoot flat”? What settings should I be changing here? Thanks again for your help.

[Oliver De morassé]

Thanks! Just for clarification… You mention 2 different ways – the 1st similar to my point 2, however using the native resolution and then resizing/cropping in output. The 2nd is similar to my point 1, where I create a comp of the correct settings and scale to fit.

Can any of these options lead to a reduced quality in output? Thanks again.

Hi Andrew,

I’ve got a recording coming up tomorrow – I would really appreciate your thoughts on which picture style best suits keying.

thanks again for your tremendous input.

[Oliver De morassé]

Hi Andrew, any chance of your comments to my final question. Many thanks in advanced.

[Oliver De morassé]

Hi Andrew,

Have you managed to have the time to check out my demo files? If you have the time, I would really appreciate your comments on which picture styles you find best and if the white balance is OK.

Many thanks ;O)

Have I understood correctly, based on the results I posted, the picture styles have the following approximate stop differences between the green & blue channels:

Cinestyle: 0.5
Faithful: 1.5
Landscape: 1.5
Marvels Adv: <1
Marvels Cine: <1
Neutral: <1
Portrait: >3
Standard: <1

Based on these findings, then either Faithful, Landscape or Portrait would give the best keying results?

[Oliver De morassé]

Thanks for the tutorial Andrew – very informative ;O)

I would be interested in what you think of the sample videos I posted:

1. Is the white balance now better?
2. Which picture style do you think is best for keying?

Thanks again.
