Boris Continuum Chroma Key

The BCC Chroma Key Unit automates the creation of precise keys with a minimal amount of adjustment. This award-winning keyer includes the following tools:

BCC Chroma Key

The Chroma Key is the start of the process of generating a convincing composite. Simply apply the key and tweak the density to refine the result and you are ready to move on to the next step

BCC Matte Choker

The Matte Choker is the second step in key refinement. With this tool we are concentrating on the edges of the key. We tweak the blur, choke and softening along the edges of the key.

BCC Light Wrap

The Light Wrap is again an edge refinement stage. We basically instruct the filter to reflect the background image over the edges of the keyed foreground image.

BCC Match Grain

The Match Grain process samples the grain from the background and applies it to the foreground, helping to generate the appearance that the clips were shot on the same camera.

BCC Color Match

The final step in generating our keyed composite is the Color Match process. This is where we sample from the highlight, midtone and shadow regions in the foreground and background images and blend some of the background color and luma values into the foreground. This furthers the illusion that we are trying to generate, that of a seamless composite of the foreground and background elements.

BCS Chroma Key Studio
Exclusively for users of Apple Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Final Cut Express we offer Chroma Key Studio, which is included in the Chroma Key Unit. This suite of keying tools includes the Chroma Key, Matte Choker and Light Wrap tools, which for this suite have been re-engineered to run in real-time - even on HD clips.
