Animatte the foreground on top of the CK layer.

it's been a long time since I used Animatte and I guess I didn't know it could affect the foreground of a key without affecting the background... can it do that ? (I'll have to test that tomorrow)

BTW, a garbage matte is the opposite of this, used to exclude things like set elements which don’t cross the key edge.

Next to Fonts Chroma Keys are my favorite torture. Oh well I'm trying to clean up some chroma keys using BCC 8. I'm getting decent results with chroma key with multifilter adding matte cleanup to choke it a little bit. Now the edges are okay but the shirt buttons and light blue, yea light blue, shirt are reflecting some of the green and slightly keying out. If I was on a GVG switcher I'd use the forced key function and make a garbage oval wipe forcing the foreground through. I tried multi filter make alpha thinking I'd be able to draw a shape on top of the existing alpha and fill the problem key area with solid white. I can't seem to find the right combo to get this working. Is this even possible in BCC 8 using multifilters?
