100% tends to work better for these modes. We were initially thrown by the software's habit of reducing the upper layer's Opacity to 50% by default.

There's precise control over the threshold using five handles on a greyscale bar (the Chroma Key effect gains these controls too) but the slow response to changes didn't help in our efforts to master them.
