new greenscreen clip!!

This looks just.. amazing ..*drops a tear of happiness.
I think this device right here is the next milestone in the evolution of the affordable film making. We are going to see "Panasonic HVX200" bold in the books describing history of film making.
 
Here's a quick test in AE. Definitely not as nice as keying 4:2:2 source but decent enough. Would look great when converted to SD.

Danilo, do you have the M2 file for that footage? A jpg file adds exta compression and it would be best to key the source material.
 
First of all, it's a JPEG file, so I can't say we can be too objective in the comparison.

But if it's not the compression and it is the HDV artifacts around the ears and on the neck, then HVX200 easily wins. It's kind of to be expected though. 100mbit HD... 25mbit HDV..

Shaw - decent enough? Where did all the hair go, what's up with his ears and neck?
 
Guys try the originals in pct that I've linked.
For Example: H1Greenscreen1080i_8bitUncomp3.pct in the link that I've posted.

Good question. It's not great but it would work if you had to use it. Decent enough meaning it is what I would expect from a straight key of a 4:2:0 format. I would normally throw a matte choker on as well but I wanted to see what sort of details I could retain in the hair. A choker would go a long way in improving this composite.

can't open that version of PICT file on PC :( Must be a MAC specific format.

Yeah...I'm on the pc too, but you can open with quicktime, but it's impossible to open with Photoshop I think...
 
You can open pict files with quicktime and then export them as tiff, photoshop, or any other variant. How about the keying gurus try out the DVCPro-HD file?

Is what I've made :)

For the dvcpro file, I can't do anything, I've an old workstation with parhelia 256 agp, so it's a problem to see also m2t files...also with a gig of ram!

Can anyone put online the 8sec DVCPRO-HD greenscreen from Danny Dale, the link he posted seems to be down..


thanks

Before getting into keying, here is a bit of comparison of what the two cameras are capable of in terms of luminance and chroma information:

Unless I'm missing something the Canon is a LOT sharper. (Too sharp for human faces I think)

Of course, once you get output from HD-SDI the Canon trounces the HVX for greenscreen. Sharper, 4:2:2 and uncompressed.

So far I'm seeing the HXV as a 720p camera. We're not seeing anything that shows more resolution when shot at 1080p. You'd think there'd be a test of that by now, is there?

re: the colorspace - We all know 4:2:2 is there on the HVX, but is it really capturing it enough to show against the other cameras? If I can't see it is it really there? (Adam Wilt to the rescue?)

And what are you going to record that on? The world is about little tradeoffs, this one meand that you have to go to uncompressed for record, and that is generally possible in the studio, but how do you capture those back grounds and frankly that means the entire time line kicked up the storage a couple of notches.

Best,

If you're doing a lot of greenscreen you're usually in a studio. And yes... you'd be recording to a fast raid (build your own for $1k to $3k these days) via Kona (add up to another $3k). I agree with you entirely, there are trade offs.

This clip here was HDV and it's sharp and very keyable. But it doesn't tell us anything about fast motion. If that 24F isn't really putting nice clean frames together than it could be real trouble just like the Sony.

So far I'm not buying all the HDV bashing other than the fact that it's a pain in the butt to work with on a Mac currently. My one P2 test was EASY - I'll toss you that bone for sure. :)
