BCC+ Matte Refine ML
BCC Key and Blend
The BCC+ Matte Refine ML filter is an AI powered keying or masking companion, which enables users to recover fine detail from a live keyed source. Its only requirement is that the source input to the filter not be premultiplied or baked-in so that the RGB details can be recovered from the RGBA source, which means that, for the time being, this standalone filter is only available from within Adobe hosts. An integrated version of the Matte Refine ML filter is included in the BCC+ Pixel Chooser, which is available in all supported hosts and platforms.
Presets and the FX Editor
The FX Editor provides a convenient way to store and retrieve factory installed and/or user generated filter presets. To select a preset, open the FX Editor interface and pick one from the Presets panel. Click the apply button in the FX Editor to return to the host user interface.
To save a custom preset, click the โCreate Custom Presetโ icon in the top right corner of the parameter list, next to the filter name, set a name for the new custom preset in the dialog that appears and click done.
