    Hi. I am trying to limit Keylight to a section of my footage (my greenscreen) and I can’t find a way to use a simple mask to do this.

    Is there a way of using a mask to apply Keylight to only my masked area?

    Thanks.

    Hi Lewis —

    — fairly new to this app myself ( so this might not work ) but have you tried opening an adjustment layer and applying mask and keylight to that …

    if that does not do the trick I think I would try pre-comping the job so far / making a copy / and applying keylight and mask to top copy ..

    — will be interesting to see what the others make of it

    Yep, that’s what I would do.
