Composite Brush:
Composite Brush is an advanced yet user-friendly plugin for Adobe After Effects that allows for accuracy in color selection, modification, and even keying.
It lets users create precise selections by drawing simple strokes, modifying colors, and pulling clean keys. Composite Brush gets its color directly from the source layer and ignores previous effects, making deep compositing workflows much more manageable. Its unique architecture does not only unsolve complex tasks like color correction, matting, and keying different visuals like hair, smoke, and fire but simplifies it.
This plugin packs some functions, which include matte sorts, transfer modes as well as different specific changes which permit complete manipulate of the user's compositions. Directly interfacing with the pixels of the bottom photo way, the Composite Brush can manage colors and keys reliably and flexibly, making it a crucial instrument for any expert compositor.
