Chroma Key
Control
Enable
Select this to enable chroma key operation on the
foreground.
Suppress Foreground
Select this to enable FG suppression. This is usually always
selected if 'Multiply Foreground' is NOT selected. If 'Multiply
Foreground' IS selected then deselecting this option can
sometimes give better results if FG suppression has altered
foreground colours.
Multiply Foreground
Select this to multiply the Foreground by the inverse of the
new Background key. If de-selected, the FG is added to the
keyed background. With good lighting and a high quality
chroma key backdrop it is usually better to not select
'Multiply Foreground' as FG Suppression and non-multiply
mode give better results particularly with fine detail such as
hair. However sometimes it is not possible to fully suppress
all backdrop detail from the FG picture and that can show in
the final composite. In this case multiply mode will cut out
the backdrop entirely, but at the expense of fine detail. The
different modes should be tried to see what gives the best
result.
Invert
In Multiply Foreground mode this control will invert the
generated key – thereby swapping the FG and BG pictures in
the final composite.
