Last year I bought Adobe Video Collection Standard Edition. As I have progressed, I now want to take advantage of green screen shooting and more advanced things with my DV. The standard versions of AE and Premiere Pro don't have all the bells and whistles to do such things.

The new Production Studio is out and I was wondering what I should do.

Should I upgrade to the new Product Studio which has AE7 Pro and Premiere 2 or should I stick with what I have and get a chromakeying plugin like Primatte Keyer 3.0?

What would do a better job with keying green screen shots.... Primatte Keyer with AE6.5 Standard.... or the built-in Keylight in AE7 Pro?? Is there anything else that is well worth paying for the upgrade with Production Studio? Your advice is greatly appreicated... I have been tackling this question for sometime now and haven't a clue what to decide on my own. Thanks!

Well, I haven't used Primatte, but Keylight, even in AE6.5Pro is an amazing plugin.

The latest version of the Production Studio is worth the upgrade for AE7 alone which will probably meet all of your hreen screen needs without any plugins. Plus you get dynamic link and bridge.

its definatley worth the upgrade - but wait there's more if you plan on getting an HVX, Cineform just released an upgrade for AspectHD for HVX support...
