Q: Chroma

Hi

1)Can i record myself with a green screen and cut me out of the background to use that footage in editor and paste myself with chroma key, so i can put another background?
2) if i use a green screen will be the edges more smooth then without? Or does the Ai masking see no difference with or without green screen?
Am i looking for an cheaper alternative then screen flow

Thank you

A: 1) you can do the recording yes, but you need to do the cutout in some other app (e.g: FCP or similar). iShowU itself doesn't have a chroma key cutout. I did this myself by removing background in v6, and adding a green layer behind myself (using pro mode), then recording camera full size

2) I'm not sure. I suspect the AI masking with a real green screen will be better as the background is more consistently "not you". I don't have a real one to try it with.

Helpful?
