Modular Keyer error?

Hi

Fairly new user so please bare with me if this just a mistake on my part setting up the CFX.

I have some green screen footage and when I set it up through the Action node it works fine but when I try with just the Modular Keyer node my key input goes white and I can't pull a key. As soon as I connect the footage into the matte input the thumbnail goes half white and when I jump into the Modular Keyer the key input is pure white and it doesnt work.

Just wondering if anyone has had any similar issues (bug) or its just me.

The keyer needs to see the Chrmakey in the key channel not the flat WHITE matte.   This is one time (of many) where the inputs aren't always Red to Red and Blue to Blue.  Just feed the FRONT Red channel to the Fronat and matte inputs of the Modualr Keyer and you will be fine.
