I agree that you have more control by just using the alpha from keylight, and then correcting the source by hand. Auto-spill supression in all the major keyers (primatte, keylight, sometimes even ultimatte) can be clumsy. If you need to make a stack like that, and even double it and find edges and blur a second track matte to do some edge correction, it’s probably a more versatile workflow.

HOWEVER, all I’m saying is simply that you can turn off keylight’s hyperactive spill supression by setting screen matte to source. Then you have the option to use the color correction tools in keylight or otherwise.

Also, I agree, ultimatte is the best.

Hey there,

Good point Ben, I recently was working on a similar issue and found that occasionally Keylight’s Screen replacement function (SOFT COLOUR mode in particular) is the real culprit. If you change screen mode to source, then you can lose the noise and still use keylight’s final result. This lets you use the color correction tools to reduce spill. If you need edge correction, sometimes this is a way you can smooth out that aggressive black replacement.

Hope that helps,
