228 Chapter 10 Secondaries

You’ll see the shape you created within the vignette area of the Previews tab. At this

point, the matte that’s created by the shape can be used to limit the corrections you

make, as with any other secondary matte.

When you use a User Shape, the Vignette controls in the secondary tab to which it’s

assigned become disabled. If at any point you need to edit the shape, you must do so

in the Geometry room; the secondary corrections that use that shape will automatically

update to reflect your changes.

Using Secondary Keying and Vignettes Together

When you turn on the vignette controls while also using the HSL qualifiers to create a

secondary key, the vignette limits the matte that’s created by the key. This can be

extremely helpful when the best keyed matte you can produce to isolate a feature in

the frame results in unwanted selections in the background that you can’t eliminate

without reducing the quality of the matte. In this case, you can use the vignette as a

garbage matte, to eliminate parts of the keyed matte that fall outside the vignette

shape.

Adjusting the Inside and Outside of the Selection

You choose whether the color, contrast, and saturation controls affect the inside or the

outside of the isolated feature using the Control pop-up menu. One of the most

powerful features of the Secondaries room is the ability to apply separate corrections

to the inside and outside of a secondary matte in the same tab. This means that each of

the eight secondary tabs can actually hold two separate corrections.

Whenever you choose another region to work on, the controls update to reflect

those settings.

The Control pop-up menu also provides additional commands for modifying these

settings.
