  Color Key better in Motion or After Effects?

  Posted by Chris Tomkins on March 18, 2010 at 7:18 am

  Hi

  I need to do a fiddly color key (not green screen or blue screen – its a sunset sky) and have been playing around in Motion and getting an ok key, but needs a bit more.

  Is it worth me downloading a trial version of After Effects and seeing if this gets me a better key, or would I just be wasting my time and bandwidth and I should continue persisting with Motion?

  Cheers
  Chris

  Keying is not a core specialty of Motion nor Color. For robust 2d vfx- yeah you want AFX, Shake, Nuke, etc.
