It is very possible to pull great keys from Digital Betacam material.
I guess I am very bias but I just LIVE in the modular keyer. This keyer is hands down the best keyer I have ever used. Other keyers can be quicker for a simple well shot key ( see Ultimatte avantedge article) but heck give me the MK anyday.. it is SO powerful and so flexible I can’t work these days without it.. add to that it contains the Colorwarper – a more powerful CC – and its game over.
We have a quicktime on using the MK. to the left on this page under SPECIAL REPORTS. It is a big download but if you’ve not braved the MK and want to pull off professional keyers in any situation – the MK is the way to go.
One further tip re the MK .. the inital graph or flow diagram you see when you enter the mk is just a helpful – pre build of what you most often want ( with the exception of not having the CW in the front pipe)… don’t be put off.. see the inital screen as a fast prebuild.. but you can delete nodes as much as you want – if you want to simplify things. Learn the MK – you be thankful for years that you did.
