Chroma Key Operating Notes

3.

When making this adjustment, it is helpful to turn the secondary

Chroma

Suppression

to maximum, and the secondary

Suppression Angle

to produce

an unnatural color in the affected area. This makes the changes to
secondary suppression more obvious.

4.

Selectivity

should be kept as wide as possible. You should only narrow

selectivity (increase its value) if you cannot avoid changing opaque
areas of the foreground.

5.

Adjust the secondary

Angle

so that changing secondary

Chroma

suppression moves the color in the desired direction. You are trying to
match the color of the translucent areas to an opaque (uncorrupted)
area of the foreground subject.

6.

Decrease secondary

Chroma

suppression for the best match between

corrupted (translucent) and uncorrupted (opaque) areas. Interaction
between secondary suppression

Angle

and

Chroma

suppression may

require repeating these adjustments.

7.

Increase secondary

Luma

suppression to balance lightness of the

translucent and opaque areas.

8.

Repeat secondary suppression

Angle

,

Chroma

suppression and

Luma

suppression for best results.
