IBKGizmo
IBKGizmo: image based keyer.
IBKGizmo: image based keyer. Keys the fg input against a clean plate (the c input, usually an IBKColour) with red and blue/green weights, and subtracts the screen so the result is premultiplied and despilled.

Usage
- st = pick keys against a single colour instead of the c input: Ctrl+click (or Ctrl+Shift+drag) in the Viewer with the panel open picks it from the fg input.
- Luminance match brings back foreground brighter than the screen.

- IBK: clean plate + difference key (
examples/keying/ibk_clean_plate.oink): The image based keyer pair on the Tears of Steel plate 08_3a (CC BY 3.0, Blender Foundation, mango.blender.org). IBKColour erodes the actor out of the screen and fills the hole from the surrounding green, giving a clean plate that follows the screen's uneven light. IBKGizmo keys the plate against it (red / blue-green weights 0.5) and subtracts the screen colour, so the result is premultiplied and despilled. The Viewer shows it over black.
