TIP Spill Suppression: Decreases the level of spill color on the subject by adding the color opposite the key color to certain color ranges. This setting is used with the Desaturation setting. Color Curve: Changes the dynamic of desaturation. You can use this control with spill suppression. The effect of this setting on the Color Curve graph corresponds to that of the Alpha Curve setting on the Alpha Curve display. Post-Processing area Shrink Matte: Shrinks the matte, which can help eliminate a troublesome halo around the subject. When pushed too far, this control can cause the edges of the subject to degrade and become transparent. Be careful if you change this setting. Soften Matte: Blurs the edges of the matte, which can help smooth out jagged edges and other imperfections along the edges of the subject. Sharpen Matte: Increases the focus at the edges of the matte. This control is essentially the opposite effect from the Soften Matte setting. Sharpen Matte works well with the Soften Matte setting to make the edges of the subject stronger and sharper. Sharpen Range: Adjusts the direction of sharpening. This control works with the Sharpen Matte control. If you want to experiment with the keyer settings to become familiar with what each control does, load RGB.jpg as the input clip. This file is included with Ultra and is located in the Colors folder on the Backgrounds tab. Set one key point on any color, click the Apply Points button, and then adjust the sliders to see what happens. Colors tab Enable: Enables and disables color processing. Disabling the color correction controls lets you quickly compare the original source without losing the settings. For the input clip, the Enable check box operates independently for the Pre-Processing and Post-Processing controls. Reset button: Returns all of the settings to the application defaults, which are neutral. Load button: Opens a dialog box where you can choose a color correction profile. Save button: Opens a dialog box where you can save the current color correction settings as a profile that you can apply to other sessions. 38 Product overview
