Mix and overlay

[dv8or1]

Anyone have any idea how one could do a mix and overlay with the AF101? I need to do this for a client as I am shooting green screen on Monday....any help appreciated.

What exactly do you mean? Are you talking about a live key, or doing post work?

Hi David,
It is a live key and overlay on an art director's layout. This is apparently a common thing in advertising shoots....

It involves a box with a lever to roughly bleed two shots together and a separate monitor....

You would need a switcher with a keyer to do it live.

There are a few products on the market that can be fed through your laptop. Here's one for the mac:

How is he going to feed the SDI output of his AF101 into his laptop?

I do green screen work but we do all the keying in post, as most folks do.

Unfortunately when you have an art director that is unsure of his layout he wants to see it on the job....
