• Spill Suppress — Spill Suppression elements are
those pixels in the Foreground that have a
noticeable tint of the Background color. This
typically occurs around the edge of the foreground
subject as glow from the background blue-screen
or green-screen “spills” onto them.
• Edge Softness — Edge Softness lets you apply
varying degrees of softening to the Foreground
edges to help it blend in with the underlying
background image that it is being keyed over.
• Luminance — Luminance allows you to control
the overall brightness of Shadow, Translucency,
and Transition areas as well as partial reections
to more closely match the Foreground brightness.
