Problem with semitransparent Keying

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Hi folks,

I’m working on an urgent shot where I need to pull a clean key. That is not realy the problem. The problem is, that the greenscreen is uneven lit and the actress holds a glass witch, of course, needs to be semitransparent. In addition the glass-area is full of grain. Does anyone have a good idea how to proceed? I would be glad, if it would work without roto:cool:
Thanks for your help…

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
Is there a way to hide and unhide gizmo sliders and widgets based on another one?

For instance a check box which hides and unhides a slider?
