Unlock The IBKs Potential

The IBK (Image-Based Keyer) is one of my all-time favourite keyers.

It's very robust and consistently produces excellent results – even with difficult, unevenly lit blue/green screens. However, limiting yourself to using only the IBKColour and IBKGizmo node pair is a waste of the keyer's potential.

In this tutorial, I'll show you:

  The IBK takes a whole other approach to keying than typical keyers, which has major benefits that we'll look into.




• The hidden features of the IBK and why they are useful:
  
  The IBK is unique in that you can actually look under the hood and see how it's made. And inside, there are additional options hidden away which we'll explore.

  These setups will show you ways of thinking outside of the box and combining other tools to enhance the off-the-shelf IBK nodes and pull a better key.
