  Holding on to keyed footage

  Posted by Bruce Gaber on October 10, 2016 at 10:57 pm

  I need to key several pieces of footage and maintain them, and their alpha channels, for use throughout a project. Is my best strategy to make individual comps for each keyed item and then drop them into the working comps as needed?

  Thanks

  Oh my, I figured it out. The keying effect (KeyLight in this case) stays with the layer. So a copy and paste of the layer results in a copy with the keying imbeded.
