What new in Primatte Keyer Pro 4.0?

Primatte Keyer Pro 4 is a chroma key plug-in designed for Adobe After Effects (6.5, 7.0, or CS3), Apple Final Cut Pro (5.1.4 or 6.0x), Apple Motion 3, Avid Xpress Pro (5.5 or later) or Media Composer (2.5 and later)to run on Mac OS X® (10.4.11 and 10.5.2) and Windows® XP and Windows Vista. Primatte Keyer Pro lets you create perfect keys from an image shot against a solid colored background.

Broad Application Support

Primatte Keyer 4.0 has been created to run properly as a plug-in to a variety of host applications. Click below to go to the tutorials for these sections:

Auto Compute

One click of the Auto Compute button detects the backing screen color, eliminates it and cleans up the foreground and background noise. Follow up with some spill removal to complete most well shot clips.

Faster Processing

Speed optimizations in the code, floating precision calculations & SSE2 implementation (Windows versions) and updated libraries makes this the fastest Primatte ever.

Super-pixel Support

This allows colors outside of the normalized space (i.e. blacker than black (negative colors) and whiter than white) when working with 32-bit floating points formats.

Median Sampling

Filter out noisy pixels when doing sampling and picking operations by applying a 3x3 median filter on the sampled input pixels prior to performing the sampling operation.

Degrain Tools

Clean the background but still preserve the fine edges on the foreground object by using the Degrain feature to support cases when there is a lot of noise (usually caused by film grain) in the foreground image that makes producing a good extraction otherwise difficult.
