PixelFlow: advanced keying techniques with Smart, Luma, Chroma, and Cut & Fill

14 May 2025

In the latest video on our YouTube channel Audio Effetti Stream, our video product specialist Michael Leonessa dives into one of the most essential features for advanced video layer management: keying.

The video provides an in-depth look at three keying modes available within the PixelFlow software:

  • Smart Key, a hybrid solution between chroma and luma keying, ideal for achieving accurate results on both black backgrounds and selected colors.
  • Luma Key, perfect for cutting through black and creating clean, controlled transparencies.
  • Chroma Key, designed for selective color keying, but without the ability to key out black.

The tutorial also explores the Cut & Fill mode, which enables the creation of static or dynamic keys by using a source with an alpha channel. Michael walks through the configuration process from the Advanced panel, showing how to correctly assign the alpha input and adjust the parameters to achieve the desired transparency.

This practical video is packed with real-world examples and hands-on tips, making it an invaluable resource for professionals using PixelFlow in demanding environments and looking for powerful, flexible solutions for multilayer content management.
