Is it better to use bluescreen or green screen for chromakey effects?
Normally your subject matter dictates the choice of your key color. But strictly from the point of view of camera capabilities, I’m told the camera can generate clean chromakey effects using a green screen, but isn’t as good with a bluescreen. My resolution tests appear to bear this out. This may have something to do with the specific DV codec used by your NLE setup as well. See my color test for more details. Philip Williams has posted some TRV900 green-screen composite examples which, interestingly, show much better results from an analog capture from DV than from the DV original. Steven Bradford has some useful, practical bluescreen advice on his bluescreen page.
