i am fairly new to premiere but i seem to be catching on fairly quick...i just have one problem...i cant do blue-screen worth spit! how is this done? i know u film with the actor against a blue/ green screen, then somehow tell premiere to remove that color and replace it with a matte or whatever, but i have no idea on exactly how to do this? also, if it isnt too much trouble, what is the best way to contruct a blue/green screen to get the best results? thanx

I'd suggest working with premiere a little more. You aren't gonna get anywhere do sfx without know how to manipulate the filters, motions, and transparency. Anyway, you gotta film your scene with the blue (green if doing video). set that as an overlay track while the background scene is on the main track. To do a decent blue/green screen, you should try to have consistent lighting on the color and that means light should be positioned where the actor will not block the color, otherwise, the color won't be consistant (shadows, changing shades). If that happens you'll probably have to do a chroma difference, and it'll look pretty craptistic. So good luck
