Blue Screen Key/Green Screen Key
Blue-screen keying is used for recordings in front of a blue background. For best results the background
should be in the standard blue-screen color (approximately corresponds to Pantone 2735) and have even
lighting.
The parameters described here operate in the same way for the Green Screen Key Editor.
When working with material originally created in DV, you should use a green background and the Green
Screen Key Editor. Due to the chroma sampling of 4:2:2, or of 4:2:0 or 4:1:1 (depending on the format),
the green channel for DV has a much greater luminance than the other colors. For this reason, keying to
green works best for DV.
