Compact video studio tour - green screen

Chromakey green. But you can use any solid color background, as long as the color doesn't appear in the foreground.

Thanks for your reply. This green is used because it's rarely found in nature, and therefore is the best choice for our purpose. My question was more along the lines of: If I wanted to paint, say, a wall, what color would I have mixed at the paint counter?

Chromakey green. That is actually a paint color. You can find it on the internet.

If your Canon Camera has firewire out, you can use it to create chromakey.

You will need a video editing program like Sony Movie Studio Platinum to add the chromakey effect to the greenscreen.

See my other youtube videos - they show how to do this.

Yeah, I've did it somewhat with my Flip Video Camcorder. But I was appearing almost like a ghost.
I tried to mess with the settings, but I think its the camera.

View my other youtube video on chromakey settings in Sony Movie Studio, and you'll see how to get great chromakey effects

I have, and I've seen others, the Flip Video kind of kills the quality.

You can use FireWire or USB (Your camcorder will have one of these or maybe both) If it records to a SD (Memory Card) slide it into your SD slot in your computer and follow the simple instructions to download the videos
