  saving effects settings

  I have a good preset for keylight that I want to preserve for use in further projects. How do I save my settings on the plug-ins for After Effects?

  In the animation menu, Save animation preset.

  I’ve saved keylight presets before for when I’m filming a lot of shots in the same environment but need to apply the effect multiple times: very useful. Just select the keylight effect in the effect controls panel (click the name) and then go to the animation menu and select save animation preset. If you’re using other effects in conjunction with keylight (i sometimes use simple choker amongst others), select that effect too before you save and then when you apply the preset, all effects will be applied together. Ace!

  What do you use simple choker with keylight for?

  Sometimes choking the matte about .50-.75 of a pixel gets rid of some of the awkward bits around the edges that are hard to remove by altering keylight properties. I’m not saying this is the best way, or even a good way, to work. I’ve just found that it works for me.
