Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Key prep software

    Posted by Bob Cole on July 20, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    On Windows, I became a believer in using “key prep” software before using the actual keyer. I used Composite Wizard and Primatte Pro for keying in After Effects.

    Now I have a Mac, with CS4, and I would appreciate advice:

    – for prepping keys, should I crossgrade to Composite Wizard or Key Correct Pro?

    – for keying, Keylight looks great — would it make any sense to crossgrade to Primatte Pro?

    Thanks!

    Hey Dave, I’m not bright enough to handle double negatives.

    My main use for Composite Wizard was to smooth the background BEFORE attempting to key it out, with Primatte or another keyer. Are you saying KeyCorrect Pro is only useful after keying?

    Thanks for replying! Cricket noise was driving me nuts!
