    You can change the transfer mode in after effects to screen and that should knock out the black, also you can try a luma key if you are in any other program.

    On a side note you can also use a color layer above it and use the alpha matte to knock out the color. ie press f4 change track matte to alpha or alpha inverted. your possibilies are endless this way as you can use solids, gradients or any other layer to go off of.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. I have this same set, it rocks

    unmult (free plugin from redgiant) should key the black out perfectly.
