DVGARAGE RELEASES CHROMAKEYING TOOL FOR FCP & MOTION
SAN FRANCISCO – Final Cut Pro and Motion users looking to add
chromakeying capabilities to their arsenal should check out dvGarage’s
dvMatte Pro 3.0 Studio. Available for Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and Motion 2
or higher, the tool uses Apple’s FxPlug technology to combine
chromakeying with high-performance GPU acceleration, allowing users to
remove green- and bluescreen backgrounds from DV, HDV and HD footage in
realtime.
According to Alex Lindsay, founder/chief architect of dvGarage, dvMatte
uses both the color and luma information to create clean edges. The
tool’s 3 Pass keyer uses two color differences keyers and a hybrid
luminance keyer to produce smooth mattes. Its built-in spill
suppression knocks out the background and the spill automatically. A
color matching plug-in helps match foreground and background color. And
the built-in edge blending feature helps simplify compositing.
The new dvMatte Pro 3.0 Studio is available for download from
dvGarage’s website at: www.dvgarage.co. Priced at $199, download
contents include dvMatte Pro 3.0 Studio for Apple Final Cut Pro 5.1.2
or Motion 2 or higher, the user’s manual and sample project files.
