  • Grain in Keylight 1.2 output

    Posted by Jolyon Ludbrook on December 15, 2008 at 9:42 pm

    I have tried to use the suggestions offered in this site to get rid of the grain that appears after keying DV footage with Keylight 1.2 and cannot make it work. I cannot seem to locate the necessary functions in AE to make it work. Can some one assist and suggest a way of making this go away. I am working in CS3 AE Professional.
    Many thanks

    It’s most likely from Keylights UBER crunchy spill suppression. You can turn off keylights color suppression and maintain your key by switching the viewing mode on the top of the plugin menu to “intermediate result”.

    After that I would suggest using a Hue/Saturation and setting it to green and adjusting the threshold do so your spill suppression.

    Hope I’m not repeating a suggestion that failed you earlier.

    Get a good key by looking at the matte. Then duplicate the layer and place it below the original and remove the keylight effect. Add a track matte to the bottom layer which will use the keylight layer as the source. This will get rid of your grain issue. You will probably want to use the separate spill suppressor effect on your bottom layer to tidy it up.

    Thanks Andrew, Actually discovered the problem was with the Source colour which gives the options of “Source, Hard, Soft etc” it was set to to soft. Changing this to source fixed it immediately.

    Many thanks
