Hawaiki Keyer 5 - the industry’s most sophisticated Green & Blue Screen Keyer now with AI tracking

Hawaiki Keyer 5 builds on the best-in-class keying tools of Hawaiki Keyer 4 and enables you to use them more efficiently with even more powerful and intelligent tools for isolating your foreground.

It's easier than ever to maintain hair and other fine detail by creating secondary keys and dynamic garbage mattes with the new AI-powered face & object tracking and the new realtime edge tracking. And the new Crop tools allow you to exclude the edges of the screen and speed up the rendering of complex keys.

Refining your composite is faster and simpler with all the edge tools that were in a separate plug-in now integrated into Hawaiki Keyer. And we've expanded the compositing toolset with even more edge operations and the ability to resize and composite the background within the plug-in.

On top of this we've refined the UI and operation of the plug-in and optimized it for Apple silicon and HDR.

"For my money, these new features along with the depth of the adjustments available make Hawaiki Keyer 5 the best green/blue-screen keyer plug-in on the market."  Oliver Peters - digitalfilms

: This lyric highlights the "good girl" conditioning where maintaining peace requires sacrificing one's voice.

: The second verse contrasts the "sitting tight" of the past with the freedom of being in a "nightclub," "blowing bubbles in a bathtub," and "hanging on a rooftop". It’s a celebration of independence and the right to be messy and loud. Cultural Resonances

While EMELINE has stated the song is her "origin story," fans have found deep connections elsewhere:

: Many listeners interpret the lyrics as a tribute to Princess Diana, citing the "19 in a white dress" as a reference to her age during her engagement and "Cinderella's dead" as a tragic nod to her fate.

: The line "You thought the shoe fit, but I..." subverts the most famous symbol of the fairy tale. It suggests that the role was forced onto her, a manufactured fit that she has finally outgrown. Breaking the Silence

: The song became a viral TikTok anthem because it resonates with anyone who has felt trapped in a relationship that required them to play a diminished, "perfect" role.

A core theme is the connection between silence and safety in toxic dynamics.

: By putting Cinderella in a "casket," she isn't just ending a relationship; she is ending a lifestyle of compliance and silence.

• Hawaiki Keyer 5 can be found in the Resolve Effects Library, Final Cut Pro Effects Browser, the Effects and Preset panel and Effect menu in After Effects, in Premiere Pro within the Effects panel / Video Effects and in the Motion Library tab under Filters. Simply drag it onto your clip to get started.

• The plug-in comes complete with two separate Keying modules, Hawaiki Keyer 5 (Green) and Hawaiki Keyer 5 (Blue). Select whichever is appropriate for your background color: so for green screens select Hawaiki Keyer Green and for blue screens choose Hawaiki Keyer Blue. The operation of both versions is identical but each has been optimised for its respective screen color. For this reason not all the controls work precisely the same between the two modules.
