What artists really like is the power and controls. There are a number of fantastic keying tools available for After Effects, so why do so many people like Keylight? The consensus is that people like it because it comes bundled with After Effects. Keylight is for sure my go-to keyer not only because it’s built directly into After Effects, but because of all of its built-in layer compositing features, single-click color keying, and fast performance. “When it comes down to it, the industry-standard Creative Cloud applications and features for editing, compositing, motion design, and more are centered around meeting users’ needs and outperforming on their expectations.” Why do customers love After Effects Keylight? I asked Adobe about winning the award for favorite Chroma Keying Tool and Michelle Gallina, senior product marketing manager, Creative Cloud: After Effects and Character Animator at Adobe responded. The order of the effects is very important: Keylight, then Key Cleaner, then Advanced Spill Supressor. There is a preset for three tools (under Presets > Image – Utilities > Keylight + Key Cleaner + Advanced Spill Suppressor). Both tools are specifically designed to work with Keylight. Keylight, which was developed by The Foundry, has been a staple in After Effects for years, but Key Cleaner and Advanced Spill Suppressor were introduced in After Effects CC 2014. It’s now out of print but I have an excerpt from the book about Keylight that fits quite nicely here. I co-wrote a book a couple of years ago called Green Screen Made Easy. Keylight is a full-featured keying tool that comes with After Effects. See all of the winners Toolfarm Plugin Awards 2020 Favorite Chroma Keying Tool: Adobe After Effects Keylight We thought it might be useful to expound on the winning tools to give some insight on why they triumphed.
