The Executive Producer is all I can think of that works in a pro environment that interns or loggers can bang away and still produce accurate logs.

[Peter Wright] “Thanks Rick – that’s what I meant by “combination of bezier & chroma” but you described it in much more detail! “
I know you’re not fishing for an apology but I’ll extend one anyway. Sorry, I didn’t notice your post.

Combustion with the new Diamond Keyer is the best in the industry.
It was pretty good before then but this new keyer is a power addition to the already solid key toolset.

Short answer is there are more than two layers.
A perfect key would involved only two layers: the top being the one you’re keying and the bottom your background.
In the case of this if you simply do a luminance key or chroma key out the white the whites of the eyes will be keyed as you pointed out, not the desired effect.
So you add another layer on top, this one is a sort of reverse garbage matte. You use Vegas 5’s bezier mask to coarsely mask out the key, leaving the edges of the model to be keyed out with the keyer. I typically have the middle layer (the one to be keyed) muted so I can see the results of my mask.
Now I use combustion and after effects for this sort of thing but I BELIEVE with Vegas’ parenting you can parent the two layers and add a colour correct to the top layer and it will ripple through to the siblings (as in Combustion).
Is that what you’re going for?

No, that’s about it.
Sounds like you’re coming from the Avid/Discreet world where you can dial in your caputre rate. That’s not possible with firewire, you are in fact getting it as good as it gets.
