blue or green?

[Robbie Comeau]

which is easier to key out in final cut, using a dvx100b, a blue screen or a greenscreen?

Light it correctly and it doesn't matter. You could use just about any color you want. If its lit well and you're a good distance away from the screen (your subject that is) as to prevent spill, then you can pull any color quickly and easily. I believe blue is more primarily a film choice and green a DV choice (but that's a loose interpretation).

cheers.

Ive found that greenscreen is a little easier. I also read same advice on cinematography.net sometime last week.

Ya, i think i read green as well, but like said above, you light it right and it doesnt matter.

The decision should also be motivated by the subject matter. If it's a green car- go with blue- etc.
