# Pixel Spread

Use Pixel Spread to create a stretching effect from the image edges delimted by a matte. This can be useful to solve keying problems resulting from dark edges around the area to be keyed, for example.

To access the Pixel Spread menu, use:

- Timeline, then use ConnectFX (See Creating ConnectFX).

- Tools, then select from the menu.

- The Modular Keyer, then select a node from the Node bin.

This node accepts a front, back and matte clip, as well as a vector map clip, and outputs a result and an outmatte.
