    Amazing potential here! Does it work with Primatte Keyer?

    Would it be possible to provide a quick Guide of the setup using the Pre-Comps route. I use CS6 and don't have the little CC2018 menu for use Effects and Presets etc.

    I'm trying to combine an upper and lower half of a full frame Key shot. I've tried the Mask Layer route and also on a single layer but i'm not having much luck and at times get random shapes showing not in the position I would expect. If you have a quick Step by step it would be great t make sure its not a bug.

    Thanks!

    Hi Chris

    Any keys you do must be precomped and any layers you're using as mattes must also be precomped. Do those random shapes disappear when purging?

    Hi James, Sorry I didn't get a notification for this.

    I've tried precomping everything but either I'm missing something, or there's a problem with it. Also If you have a piece of footage at not 100% scale it also generates issues such as 4K footage in a 1080P comp scaled down.

    Would it be possible to do a really really quick screen capture of the Precomp setup of the keying demo just so I can double check and confirm if there is or isn't a problem? I think this will be the best way to confirm it.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris

    I've uploaded a tutorial for that here: 
    Hope that helps.

    Thanks James, that clears it up, I think I was have the issue with the Effects not moving to the Pre-comps. I think this caused the issues. Thanks for the Tutorial, managed a few great results already!

    Thanks so much!
