Re: (Mac)[Avid-L2] Re: Dear Avid: Baselight and Resolve let's go!

Yeah, that's what I was talking about... The soften just softens the
selection area. Still end up with hard cutoff on matte edges. On slightly
noisy footage that can create noticable "boiling"

Also impossible to use luma-only for the qualifier which would be helpful.

I usually just ignore the secondaries entirely for that reason. If I really
need one I will stack up layers with SpectraMatte to get what I need.
