Re: [FCP-L] How do I get better keying results in FCP?

One of the keyers that I have had the best experience with is those in Boris
Red. Admittedly, I have only used them on an Avid, but they seemed to have a
great number of adjustments that many of the other keyers don't.

I have also used Keylight and ZMatte successfully.

However, all in all, I have to agree with Robin, the key to a successful key
is proper lighting and shooting.
