I am in a new school that has had a slow first year, but will be bulging to 2400 students next year. I want to make my role as the TV/Broadcast/Editing/Radio teacher. The school has a dedicated media lab with iMacs, Radio Broadcast, and Green Screen Room with the equipment listed below.
I have been hitting some walls, as I am trying to find a work flow that will be able to have students putting out weekly, slick, well produced news bulletins.
My challenges have arisen from trying to get all three cameras to be able to use 1 upstream key (others are greyed out) which is set to Chroma for the green screen.I have some stills in the media bin as the background and it is working OK
My understanding is that my set-up (see below) will only allow the use of 1 upstream key, so I can only use one camera source for color/gain settings. It work well on one camera, but not on the other two but require tweaking to color and gain due to the slight variations in position and zoom. (The iris and white balance settings are the same)
Maybe I am overlooking something, but the only video tutorial I was able to see, where someone was switching from a shot using an upstream key to another shot using a upstream key, was to have another one avaialable. (which I don't.)
So maybe a solution is to just shoot everything with the green screen and edit it later in Final Cut, and adding backgrounds, lower thirds and transitions then.
Thanks in advance for your help!
