Not with Despill Maestro, though, as it’s straightforward and makes it easy to keep your footage professional and clean—other than what you want to correct.

What is Despill Maestro and Why You’ll Love It

Despill Maestro is a color spill suppression plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It allows you to suppress color spill without losing your keyed elements. It’s the color-cleaning brush that knows what to leave.

Features:

• Skin Tones: No more unnatural skin tones.
• Wardrobe Colors: Protect every single hue no matter the lighting.
• Despill Settings Aggressiveness: Control levels of aggressiveness to protect textures.

This means seamless composites, color grades, and post-production work done in record time.

Features That Make Your Life Easier

Advanced Algorithms

Choose from 10 specialized algorithms, each designed for different spill scenarios—from simple averaging to skin-tone preservation. Fine-tune suppression, softness, expansion, and desaturation to match your footage perfectly.

Color Replacement

Replace the removed spill with a color of your choice. Add warmth, coolness, or custom hues while keeping luminance intact—perfect for stylistic or corrective tweaks.

GPU-Accelerated Performance

Works with 8/16/32-bit footage and provides real-time previews of spill maps, alpha channels, and protection masks—speeding up your workflow dramatically.

• Use Protection Ranges: Carefully set Luma, Hue, and Saturation ranges to avoid affecting skin or wardrobe.
• Experiment with Algorithms: Each clip may need a different algorithm—play around to find the perfect match.
