From the course: After Effects Compositing: 4 Color Keying

Working with Keylight: Introduction

- All right, so we're going to get started with Keylight. Keylight is a tool all unto itself that's actually created by The Foundry, who make a competing compositing application to After Effects, but Adobe licensed it because it's really one of the top keying applications out there and it's included right in your copy of After Effects. I, myself, have used Keylight on feature films that you've seen. On some of those projects, I even had the opportunity to show my team of colleagues how I like to use Keylight simply because I had figured out ways to streamline Keylight so that there's less fighting the controls and more focusing really on where you get the best results. And so, that's what I'm going to teach you in this section. Where to focus your results in Keylight, and also which controls you can kind of not worry about so much. So let's get started.
