Green-screen - a live demo?

10 years, 2 months ago - Eric Jukes

I have to give a demo of green-screen for an amateur video club. A few years ago I saw it done live at a small exhibition. A camera was pointing at the greenscreen. A visitor would stand there and see themselves on a monitor standing on the beach or something similar. I remember it was being done on a Mac, but I would like to do something like that on a PC. Is it possible to take a leave feed into Premiere Pro? Or any other ideas? Thanks.

If quality isn't a huge deal for the demo, some webcam packages offer it, and Isadora might too (maybe via a plugin).

If you want TV quality, it's hard to get that much data in, processed, and out of a laptop in real-time, but all the small vision mixing desks (production switcher) since the 1990's will do a fair-to-very decent job in hardware. For standard definition, I've got a Panasonic one you can use or you'll probably find one cheap on eBay. For HD, you could look at renting a Tricaster which with a good source, produce excellent HD results.
