    Hey I stumbled across this free piece of stock footage that has both green and blue in it for keying:

    How do I have the green show one thing and the blue show another? I tried using keylight but I couldn’t work it out. Any ideas?

    Simple. Use two copies of the footage – key out green color on one – key out blue color on the other. Precompose the two separate keys, and put whatever footage you want in each, using one of AE’s matte tools.
