When applied to a Chroma Key, Self Key, or Auto
Select Key, the following limitations apply:

is 0.
• Size crops the key when softness is 0.
• Softness only applies inside the key.

DVE Channel Management
You can assign additional channels to each key
as long as there are sufficient DVE channels
available. These additional channels can have
different sources and positions, but must be the
same key type and be in the same keyer. The
channels in this combined key can be
manipulated separately or together.
To manipulate both channels together, you can
select both channels at the same time. Both
channels can be selected when using any of the
DVE tools. If the channels selected have different
values, for example, different positions, the
menu indicates that the values are different and
no coordinates are displayed. The selected
channel is highlighted on the
Channel
button.
