While we wait for the pic to turn up...

Can anyone help answer me a couple of questions:

1: Need to make a credit sequence for a DVD ending, suggested best software for said purpose?

2: Best entry level Chroma key, Greenscreen software for a newb.

OmniGraffle

and Excel.

Hm, when I've had to do credits sequences I've used a combination of After Effects, Photoshop and Premiere

This is one of mine: vimeo.com/20832773 (skip to the end, obvs)

Re credits, I figured it would be a combination of software (one of those above I annoyingly don't have)

Ta for the answer though.

ha ha :)

Often tempted, but it's 'work stuff' so I really can't.

If you have a program that does text animations, it should be pretty easy

I did credits for my b3ta video on Premiere 1.5 just by listing the names in a text box and having it roll from the start-point to the end-point.

I don't know for sure, but I reckon some older versions of Premiere will be available on the cheap.

I've got a 5+ year old copy of Premiere on the shelf, I'm gonna give it a punt in that.

should do the trick...

think it's done with Add Title...

I'll have a look later if you're having problems, but got to go to work now.

I did a bit of stuff on AE with greenscreen using the Keylight plugin

quite user-friendly for a beginner and I think the most recent AE has it built in.

I found that the main thing with keying is to get the lighting right, otherwise it's a fucking nightmare. I couldn't really make it work until I used 4-point lighting: Keylight, fill, hair and background... but I think it's possible to make it work with 3-point. It's helpful to have the background as smoothly and evenly lit as possible.

I presumed it wasn't going to be 'easy' but it's starting to look like such a frikkin ball ache to do (and get right)

That I suspect I'm just gonna pay someone to do it for me.
