Additional filters#
The following filters require activation via the Key and mix module.
- Blur adds a Gaussian blur (e.g., for softening the background plate of a compositing).
- Keyer with various matte and fill control parameters and a spill suppression allows real-time removal of greenish or blueish areas from live or playback signals, and creates a transparent, isolated foreground for compositing (via the overlay layout mode of a composite slot)
