Suppressing Spill

After you create a key and key out any trouble areas, some of the background color may have spilled over the edge of the key. Use the Spill controls to suppress or disguise color spill in the front image.

To gesturally remove color spill:

1. Set a Player view to Tool Output and, with the selection on the Keyer super tool node, cycle to Comp Output—see Cycling Through Inputs and Outputs.
2. Select Spill from the Sampling box or press S.
3. Remove any color spill. Click anywhere in the Player, and modify the parameters that appear by dragging the sliders; you do not need to click a specific area.

   Drag:	To:
   Range	Set the range for the removal of color spill along the edges of the key. Drag right to soften the edge and remove color spill further into the key. Drag left to harden, or create a thinner, edge.
   Hue	Modify and suppress colors that are adjacent to the primary sample.
