Purple hands in Keying
Hello,
I am keying out a background on AE CS3. It is a cardio exercise routine in which the subject’s hands are moving fast causing a purple outline around just the hands. Everything else is OK. I am using Keylight 1.2. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Also, the subject is wearing a black outfit which becomes very noisy after the key. I’ve layered the subject however still get this effect. Any suggestions? Would “crushing the blacks” help this and what would be the best color correction effect to do this?
Thanks!
Sincerely,Adrian

Yes, it’s view “intermediate result” and that keeps your key just the way it is, except it doesn’t do any color correction.
Personally I don’t like AE’s spill suppressor very much. What I find that works best is using “Hue/Saturation” then changing to “greens” Bringing the saturation down to 0. And thet you can adjust your threshold on the color bars.

Wow, that did work well, I didn’t think it would just because it was alot more than spill. The subjects whole hands were pink, but it helped alot, thanks.
Another question, because of the poor lighting, the subject’s black outfits are very noisy. I increased the screen despot black and doubled up the image which helped but some of the noise is still there. What is the best way to “crush the blacks” on the image? Is there a AE effect similar to FCP’s 3-way color correction?
Thanks, your the man!
Adrian
