Green Screen/Chroma Key question- what software is best?

Question by Rika: Green Screen/Chroma Key question- what software is best?
I’ve heard a whole bunch of people on Yahoo! Answers talk about several programs- some of them including Adobe Premier, Studio 11, and Pinnacle. What software is best for Green Screen/Chroma Keying, and what ‘green screen’ do you all suggest?

I currently have Intervideo Windvd Creator and Windows Movie Maker but they don’t have a green screen editor, as far as my knowledge extends.

Also, what are my background choices? Can I just input any image file and cut out the actors?

Thanks for everyone’s help- I’m making a movie and wondering what the Yahoo! Community has to say about programs. I don’t want to spend money on a program that is no good for my purpose.

Thanks again!
Thanks! That is helpful. Anyone else? ALL help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Best Answer is still up for grabs
Also- if I was to get Pinnacle, what version would I get? Plus? Ultimate? Studio?
Any more suggestions? How is a green sheet instead of a screen? Would that work?
How effective is the software Video Studio 11 by Corel?

Pinnacle is good. Its easy to use and you can choose anything you want as a background. You can also use more than just the green. You can also use a blue. I would suggest that you use paint or some really flat fabric. There are many web sites you can get the exact color for green screen.

Here is a great place to buy the paint http://www.filmtools.com/rosgreendigp.html

Hope it all works out
