Master Keyer

Use the Master Keyer to gesturally pull a key.

To access the Master Keyer menu, use:

• Batch, then select a node from the Node bin.

• Timeline, then use Batch FX (see Creating Batch FX).

• The Modular Keyer, then select a node from the Node bin.

This node accepts a front, back and key in clip, and outputs a result and an outmatte.

Add a Master Keyer node to the pipeline when you need to create an accurate key of a clip. Use the Master Keyer node to automatically suppress colour spill, to colour correct, and to remove noise or grain. See Creating and Refining a Key in the Master Keyer.

While there is no setup menu for the Master Keyer node, it can be saved as part of the Batch setup, or alternatively, as a Custom node. The Master Keyer is also available from the Keyer node.

Select an output type from the Select Output box.

Tip: In order for the keyboard shortcuts M and D to correspond to Matte and Degrain, the Master Keyer in Batch must have focus and the viewport cannot be set to a schematic view. If the schematic has focus, then M corresponds to Move and D corresponds to Delete.

The Master Keyer node processes gaps in clips set to No Media based on the input tab receiving the information.
