When even Final Cut X does a better job than Keylight these days, (throwing in light wrap to boot), with just a few clicks, and I've used Ultrakey in Premiere too with no fuss, all included with the base software, doesn't Keylight have a bit of catching up to do? Can this be seen by Adobe as a major problem in AE (without expecting everyone to buy third party plugins to do something basic?)

Yeah keylight is very powerful. I have not needed to use anything else, but it's not super intuitive either. I'd suggest looking up some tuts on keylight + spill suppression. The "out of the box" keylight presets are awful and it's 100% necessary to customize it for each shot

Isn't Keylight also? I get RT previews. My technique, and I presume everyone else's, is to dropper for hue, then opend the color chooser and scrub around to get the best key point, as it RT previews underneath.
I still like venerable old Spill Oppressor.

I'm working on a chromakey project right now... and the real surprise is ultrakeyer in PP. material was shot on GH3 in iframe mode, 70mbit, Rokinon cine 35 T1.5 lens. I have no problem getting hairs to key cleanly, and tweak a few things to clean up the spill... of course we had the green a good 15ft back so its pretty minimal, but I think ultrakeyer is worth a look, and did I say its realtime with CUDA ? :)

Quick poll: What's your favorite spill suppression utility or trick?
Since a lot of our work requires us to use what comes 'in the box' with AE, I've been relying on old ways and using a focused range of colors in the Hue/Saturation effect, and admit to falling behind on any new entries (or forgotten about old standbys).
thanks in advance -
