Rendering with Solid Green Background

I am trying to create a project where I create several action scenes using various dog models and I need to export with a solid green background so I can integrate those scenes with live action videos in video software using chroma key filtering.  My trouble is trying to figure out how to create a solid background and color it green.  Can anyone point me to a tutorial that would assist in this endeavor, or help me directly?    I am desperate at this point and do not want to spend any more $$$$ in models and poses.  Thank you!

    Go up to the main menu and under Window/Panes(Tab)/Environment which will open the Environment Pane. At the top click on Type/None and choose Backdrop and change Backdrop to green.

    First, don't do this.

    Any images you render without a background will have an alpha channel, which is absolutely, positively 1000% more efficient than chromakeying.

    Second, if you really, really want to do this--which, again, I do not recommend--you can set the backplate color in Window -> Panes -> Environment.

    To add to this, be sure to render to PNG or TIFF format, not JPG or BMP, otherwise you lose the alpha.

    OP, you could also use Canvases(Render Settings>Advanced>Canvases) to create any of the layers you might need.

    Thanks, Just tried the rendering with alpha and it works fine with editor.  Green Screen does not work well

    Glad you asked and that I read this thread because I have been rendering to green screen (using the environment background as described above) and editing in Davinci Resolve. Next time I will try it with the alpha backround bcause the green screen usually leaves some kind of halo effect.
