The Windows Clown Suit they put on DPMS to create the "blue screen" takes twice as long to do not quite everything needed.

Green screen is way faster...for the few who are capable of using it.

Boy, I think Green Screen is a great way of adding in a background to a video! In fact, my father is going to help me build one for some videos I'm doing (strictly home video, YouTube-type stuff)! Yep, good old green screen effects...

What's that? Different 'Green Screen'?....Oh, never mind! :cat1:

Thanks PatchOBlack. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's mind was leaping to video compositing every time someone said blue screen or green screen.

What's the difference between blue screen and green screen other than the color? Do they work differently?

If you're talking about the difference in TV, the reason that green color is better is that there is a lower likelihood of anyone actually wearing it. With the blue, you occasionally ran into a weatherman who had a suit or tie close enough to that color, and so the computers doing the chroma key would eliminate that part of their body. But that's not to say it never happens...

It took him a minute twenty to notice the issue...

I can't help but think, weather casters should not have ties of certain colors...

Pretty funny. :D:

Nice catch. I particularly like the switche from blue to red. :D:

Weathercasters should always wear all green (or all blue) so they wouldn't block the information I particularly want.

The "green screen" is a direct terminal link to the AS400 system. The "blue screen" is a windows-based wrapper inserted between the user and the same AS400 system. Naturally, it just *has* to be slower.

True, there are a couple of things the blue will do the green can't, but the opposite is also true, and green is just so much faster that I have only been using the blue screen when I had to.

As of the end of my last shift, I have to. I'm told I am no longer permitted to use the green screen to check guests in. Unfortunately, they never did bother to train me on the blue screen, so now I don't know how to do one of the major parts of my job!

My next shift should be very interesting!

I came into the role recently enough that all my DU training was in blue screen. So much so that when I went through Lasting Impressions, they told us to sell tickets in green screen, then go to blue screen to take payment for it. First thing I did when I got back to my resort for Concierge OJT, I asked my trainer to teach me how to do it in green screen, so that I could avoid wasting mine and my guests time.

(granted, lately, I've been working mostly in operations support, and we have to use green screen, because so much of what we do can't be done in blue screen, so i very rarely use blue anyways)
