Thanks Kevin,

i think my major problem is lighting the greenscreen. I don’t have enough space for all the lights to be bounced off and onto the screen and more lights for the foreground etc..

I guess i’ll have to wait for summer to shoot outside !!

I also have a question about compression since im very new to this field.

I have a sony DV camera. I use Avid Liquid to capture the clips on my DV tape. Should I directly use those captured clips to do whatever i want in AE or should i output them first using whatever codecs available before bringing them into AE ?? I’m really having a hard time with keying a DV clip.

thanks

I’ve read alot about DV footage and i understand better now as to why
my keying experience was horrible ! my problem isnt only my green screen lighting and spacing of the talent. I didn’t know i had to
de-interlace and de-artifact my DV footage first to get nice results…

question.. do i de-artifact before or after de-interlacing? or does the order matter at all?

Thank you again Kevin !

Hi,

making my footage outside is only a possibility for me during summer..winter time is bad and long ! lol..

I’d love to see your tutorials ! heres my email alex_3414@hotmail.com
thanks !

I also read that keying footage shot with a DV camera is not easy and doesnt give good quality.. just my luck ! any software or tricks you can recommand for DV cams?

Thanks for the info Kevin.. And i thought using green screens was simple!!

I will search for some tutorials..

I have already tried most of what you said except the adaptive resolution part.. I will try it out tonight and i will also buy more memory as suggested

thanks to all who responded !

Great emitters i will surely use ! many thanks !

for future emitters i’d love to see some liquid metal effects (if possible)..like in the terminator movies, when shifting from solid to liquid metal.. morphing text from/to liquid metal, liquid metal pools, etc..

so i guess the actor needs to be shot in front of a green screen to use the blur effect right ? or else the entire scene will be blurred..

sorry still learning these things that might seem to simple to everybody 🙂
