About Rosco GaffTac Digital Green Keying Tape/Chroma Key

This bright, high luminance fluorescent green Gaffer Tape is routinely used by special effects professionals to clean up overlapping areas in a "key," the green screen shot where the back- ground of a scene will be digitally inserted in post production. The high-gain, fluorescent nature of the tape makes it an excellent choice when working in digital green areas, such as surfaces painted in our Ultimatte and DigiComp Green paints. GaffTac Keying Tape will work in many shots to mask seams, edges, scenic elements or to cover irregular surfaces not otherwise properly colored for a successful key. GaffTac 2in Keying Tape is made on a traditional cotton cloth and vinyl coated fabric base and uses a synthetic rubber blend adhesive. This combination provides high tack with excellent adhesion yet still removes cleanly without leaving behind any sticky residue. It's also easily tearable, which means no need for cutting tools. The textured weave of cotton fabric helps insure limited reflections or glare that might spoil the keying shot. Chroma Key compositing backgrounds (whether it is paint, fabric, or SETPAPER, etc) is a bit less fluorescent in color than the tape, or other such digital products. That said, compositing softwares that work well in Chroma Key environments are less “specific” in their requirements, and the fluorescent tape works well despite the slight variation to the human eye. In other words, we don’t call it Chroma Key, because it’s more Digital, but works fine in either environment.
