Overview

Matte finishing for ANY alpha — a keyer's, a roto's, an imported matte, or one Crucible made. Clean the haze out of black and white, feather or sharpen, tighten contrast, shift the edge, grow or erode just the solid core. Shift Edge is the one to know: it translates the soft profile along its own gradient instead of eroding, so nudging a feathered edge keeps the falloff you spent time on. Every knob is a no-op at its default.
