Is there a slice tool in After Effects to sample color levels?
Posted by Mike Schmitt on May 4, 2005 at 6:57 amHi there: Reading a bood about compositing and it uses a tool called a ‘slice tool’ on almost every page.
Does after Effects have one?
IF not, where can I get one?

I think Steve Wright (it’s his book you’re referring to) uses Cineon most of the time, which does have a Slice tool I think. But neither Shake nor Digital Fusion come with a Slice tool out of the box.
But Synthetic Aperture offers a very versatile toolbox called Test Gear, which does have one: https://www.synthetic-ap.com/products/tg/index.html
95 bucks if you buy it online.

And thanks, by the way, for the response!

That’s okay. I’m downloading the demo version now.
I use Primatte with fantastic success, but there are a couple greenscreen shots that were just not bright enough to give me a good key, but the were the best performances by the actors.
Hoping I can huse this tool to get a cleaner matte.
