Keylight is doing nasty stuff to my footage

[Barend Onneweer]

It’s not the matte – it’s the spill supression in Keylight at work.

Usually you can get it to dissapear by tweaking the supression a little – but you can also remove the supression stage by changing the output of Keylight to (I think, I’m not at my machine right now) ‘Intermediate’ instead of ‘Final Output’ in the dropdown menu.

You may then need to use other means of removing the spill by either using a 3rd party spill killer or doing some colour correction.

I have several shots in this sequence and I ended up using the Keylight layer as a matte for the same footage and then using a spill suppressor on that layer. It works but I have never seen Keylight do that to some footage so I was a little confused. Thanks for your help guys.

It’s exactly what I do. Most of the time it’s more subtle but Keylight’s spill supression always introduces noise – so I never use it.

But still, any other spill supressor behaves much better than the one in Keylight.
