I want to do compositing with a green (blue?) screen video streams. Does
anybody know of a tutorial on this technique? What would be the best
software for this (least expensive!)

Thanks?

Google, and you'll find too much.

You know the last two request are mutually exclusive, right?

Lots of light on the screen.

Not so much light on the screen. 65% on the waveform is what I
learned-- you put too much on the screen and it bounces onto the subject.

Also, a deep studio is almost a must, you have to get away from the
screen. Well, you don't HAVE to, it just makes things x1000 easier.

here are a million tutorials. Do a google search on keying ultimatte
compositing..

Make sure your screen is lit FLAT. Watch the shadows.

Is you are using a compressed format like DV, be aware of its pitfalls with
respect to keying.

google.

Agree. Though my 2 cents was aimed at someone looking to set something up
in a spare room with their family camcorder - they'll discover things tend
to get a little grey in room light and grey makes a bad key. Unless you
enjoy rotoscoping.
