This product has been discontinued. Key Assist Bundle combined two professional keying plugins, Spill Slayer and Screen Equalizer, at a 20% discount ($99.99 total, down from $119.98 individual pricing).
What It Did
The bundle tackled two common green screen problems: excessive color spill bleeding onto subjects, and uneven lighting or wrinkles on the backdrop itself. Used together, these tools could turn difficult keys into single-click solutions, reducing the need for multipass keying or extensive rotoscoping.
Key Features
Spill Slayer ($79.99 standalone) handled color spill suppression using professional-grade algorithms. It supported 32-bit float color precision, making it useful for high-end compositing workflows where subtle color corrections matter. You could remove green or blue screen spill while preserving edge detail and skin tones.
Screen Equalizer ($39.99 standalone) leveraged a clean plate (a shot of your empty backdrop) to even out lighting variations, fabric wrinkles, or defects across your green screen footage. Instead of painting out problems frame by frame, you’d reference the clean plate and let the plugin normalize the background. This prep work made standard keyers like Keylight produce cleaner results with default settings.
Both plugins worked in After Effects CS6 through CC 2018.
Who It Was For
Compositors dealing with budget-tier green screen shoots where lighting wasn’t perfect. If you regularly inherited footage shot on wrinkled backdrops or under mixed lighting, the clean plate workflow could save hours. The 32-bit support in Spill Slayer also made this bundle relevant for high-dynamic-range compositing where color accuracy matters.
Pricing
Originally sold at $99.99 as a bundle (20% savings over buying separately). Now discontinued. Individual plugins may still be available through aescripts, but the bundled discount is no longer offered.
