Plates are solid reference screens for keying and lighting — not wallpaper greens. Open the Plates category and pick a tile.

Picture Adjustments

In the Screen section:

  • Temperature — 2700–7000 K (default 6500).
  • Tint — fine green/magenta adjustment.
  • Luminance — overall brightness of the plate.

Double-tap a slider’s label to reset that control.

Tracking markers

When a track mode is selected, Screen shows:

  • Marker spacing, size, and opacity
  • Marker shape — Cross, Dot, or Corner

On Green + tracking + scroll, drag or use the mouse wheel on the stage to move the field. Use Auto and Scroll speed when you want continuous motion.

On set: Hide the UI before you roll so the camera only sees the plate. Plates do not use cues — switch to Phone or Video when you need a timed fire.
