Just wondering how the Hvx200 footage using Green screen works. I do 3d work and i would require 4:4:4 color sampling. But i looked at some of the footage of Hvx200 its good and worth a shot. If anybody had some footage based on greenscreen i would like to see it.

Thats pretty good :) Darrell seemless. No jagged edges. I don't know about xl-h1 is it 4:2:2. If its 4:2:2 i'm sold.

i think it was shot hdv format. which should impress people more.
one good thing about the camera is that it also has hd uncompressed out, which will be good as soon as they get a portable recorder at a reasonable price.

But it was kind of dark is that becuase you simulated day into night with the meteor effect. Also the background with snow covered mountains is it keyed in.

key light was the main plugin used to make it night time. it was done rather quickly. if i had spent more time on it, i could of put lights in the windows of the houses, maybe a little smoke coming out of the chimilys ect.
mainly, what i was trying to do was see what could be done with this new type of camera.

I can't post images, as the footage I have is for an upcoming TV documentary, but I can say that we have green screen footage shot with the HVX-200, and it keys very well.

Thank you for the feedback. What keyer is used? Primatte or keylight.
Do you have to deal with jagged edges? I'm asking because, i never done any work with 4:2:2 color sampler all i have worked on is with dvx100a which keys really bad.

I use FCP so I have used the basic Chroma Keyer. I also use After Effects and the Chroma Keyer in there too, with the matte Choker and Spill suppression.
