Edge fill
When a border, drop border, or shadow modifier is selected, you can select a signal to fill these edge effects.
The edge fill may be either the signal from the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal currently selected on the utility 1 bus.
In the case of an outline, there is no edge fill signal selection, because the key fill signal fills the outline, and the rest of the image remains as the background. For the emboss effect, in place of the edge fill signal, the emboss fill matte 1 and emboss fill matte 2 signals are used.
Masks
A mask is used to inhibit the effect of a key over a part of the image. This allows parts of the background which would otherwise be keyed to be protected, or to correct the key if it is not of the desired shape.
For details of masking operations, see “Masks” (pages 397 and 414).
