I have tried many presets. Manual, auto, iris , WB....... The footage is not clear and grainy. I have 4000wats of light bulbs to light it up.

Can someone point me in the direction how to set up camera for a great looking footage on green screen.

Thanks
 
Gain is off?

Black balanced?

DRS OFF?

How are you lighting it now and what settings are you using? Scene file settings etc..

Is the footage under or overexposed?

WB - I tried AWB, manual WB , 5600k preset. (I am using outdoor lights)

What am I doing here that is not set up properly or overlooked?

The footage is not to over or under exposed. I am using waveform monitor on camera. It's just bad quality (outside video is a great quality) .

When I get closer to the subject like the face shot it starts to look like the quality it should be.


Thanks for replying.

Couple more questions.

What recording mode are you in? You should be in PH mode for best quality.

For Chroma Keying I would stay away from interlaced. Go with a progressive setting.


And your gain is off, correct?

Do you have a sample clip you could post?

If all else fails try the "Menu Init". It will reset the camera. It will also wipe user settings.

I usually shoot with:

CineD
Cinelike matrix
Detail - 3
Coring +3
Mater Ped - 5

All else off or 0. I ABB (Black balance - hold in the WB button intill you see ABB) whenever the camera is turned back on.

B. Press shouldn't be noisy though.
 
I use ph mode 1080p. I will try your settings.

How do you reset the camera. Where is "Menu Init".

Thanks for respnding Denwa.
