Chroma Key

Node icon
Keyer

Removes a green/blue screen background with spill suppression and matte refinement.

Chroma Key removes a specific color from the image and replaces it with transparency. It’s the standard green-screen / blue-screen removal tool. The similarity control sets how far from the key color counts as background, and the blend control creates a smooth transition at the edges.

Spill Suppression removes color bleed from the key color onto the subject. This is essential when green screen light contaminates hair or skin edges.

Keep key color, remove everything else

  • Use the eyedropper to pick the exact screen color from the footage.
  • Start with low similarity and increase gradually until the background is cleanly removed.
  • Add spill suppression to remove green/blue fringing on the subject edges.
  • Use Clip Black/White to refine the matte: crush shadows and clip highlights for a cleaner key.
