The Y Key softness option removes noise from the keyed image generally at the edges Adjust as required to make the edges of the key as sharp or as soft as desired The noise is where the analog to digital process A D conversion may not sample a 50 brightness as being exactly 50 i e sometimes 49 and i sometimes 51 Increasing the softness value will broaden the range of keyed colors so that the keying of images varies depending on how close a color is to the keyed out range Adjust keyers Y Key invert The Y Key invert changes the keying characteristics with respect to what colors of the foreground image you wish to key out Setting it to Off will cause the colour range that s defined to be removed remove the desired colours Setting it to On will cause the colour range that s defined to be kept key out all other colours The descriptions above behave identically on the remaining U Key Invert amp V Key Invert component versions However they are directed at the U B Y blue colour component and V R Y red colour components respectively Adjustment and effects are the same as explained above for Y Key Invert brightness grey scale 7 6 Items Associated with the Adjust sources group The Adjust Sources menu group accesses the parameters associated with the processing amplifiers used for each input RGB CV YC etc They allow you to fine tune an incoming signal to optimize its color brightness
