Hi all, what would be your best suggestion for recording vlog-like video, using a greeenscreen and replacing with a virtual background? I've got into the habit of using zoom and then post-processing in final cut pro: zoom is extremely easy to use as a recording device, not just as a videoconferencing device: it plays well with krisp for background audio removal, and the greenscreen background replacement is flawless on-the-fly so it is one less thing to do post-processing. I already pay for zoom subscription so I'm not bothered by any freebie limits like recording time limit etc. However I think it taps out at 720p even with HD checked. So I just wondered if others have a better process.....

We use a green screen set up with a Sony HandyCam (1080p) ... using the chroma keying in FCP, we replace the green screen with the background of choice... We also have a 4K Sony camera, but for our purposes, it's overkill... the process would be the same.
