Recommendation on Keying Plug-ins
Hey,
I recieved some blue-screen footage from a client, and unfortunetly the blue screen has terrible lighting illuminating it, and I’m finding it very hard to key using AE’s built in keyers. I’ve seen a lot of 3rd-party keying plug-ins around, but I’m not sure which ones are worth investing in. Can someone give me some suggestions on which way to look?
ThanksJosh M

If you have Production Bundle / Pro version, Keylight is good. You may need to use multiple instances of the plug to clean up a messy shoot.
This link is from the tutorials section, accessible by clicking the AE Cow graphic at the top of the page …
good luck!

dvMatte Pro from dv Garage is very good, especially if you are working with DV. It creates a core matte AND an edge matte and has a slider that allows you to determine the balance between the two.
One other tip (and if you know this I apologize) you probably won’t be able to pull a matte in one pass. Try pulling multiple mattes, concentrating on problem areas (you’ll need to garbage matte these out – hair, motion, etc.) and then combining them.
Good luck!
