I use a green screen and 3 light fixtures along with power director 10 for chroma key. Unfortunately the results are poor. Are any of you able to create flawless chroma key videos with power director 10? If so, how?

Please explain your statement that the results are poor. How so? How do you have the screen mounted? Is it a true green screen or just a piece of colored cloth. How are the lights used? Reflected with what to cut out the hot spots?

Can you post a 5-8 second cut of the video showing the poor results? That will help out ability to see what the issues are and how to fix them. .

The screen color, I bought one that was not the proper green, it was sort of pine-green, nothing would work.
I bitched, they sent me a new one.
