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

Also, Key Correct Pro is now available for FCP (as well as After
Effects and others) as a supplement to keying plugins:

In FCP, I've used DVMattePro and Primatte.

But I tend to find After Effects more efficient in many cases, using
Keylight, and sometimes Primatte and Key Correct Pro, in combination
with Mocha for AE tracking/shapes and AE masking/keyframing.
