But the one I want to talk about today is Red Giant Software’s Primatte Keyer Pro 4 – the big brother to Primatte RT. There are lots of different keyers on the market. Look at all the green fringing, the lack of detail, and the giant, glowing arrow that says “Bad Keying Done Here.” (I, uh, made that last part up, but you know what I meant…) It isn’t bad, if you exclude the hair, However, with the hair, its awful. To illustrate here’s a professionally shot and lit green screen that I purchased from iStockPhoto for my recent webinar on chroma-keying.Īfter applying and adjusting the Primatte RT keyer, which ships with Final Cut Pro, I got this key.
The Primatte RT keyer is nice keyer, but it has problems with both hair and transparency.
Since then, Apple moved this keyer into Final Cut Pro 7 where it replaced the egregiously bad keyer that Final Cut had been using since its release. At that time, I showed you how to use the Primatte RT keyer in Motion. The last time I wrote about chroma-keying was August, 2008.

Larry’s Monthly Final Cut Studio Newsletter. The powerful AutoMask and new compositing features in Primatte 5.1 give fast, high quality results for any artist doing blue or green screen photography.[This article was first published in the October, 2010, issue of New Backdrop and Overlay features add custom backgrounds and logos directly inside Primatte for a speedier workflow. Smarter algorithms help Primatte to identify the background color, automatically key it out and remove color spill without any user interaction. A redesigned AutoMask tool gives a high success rate and easier functionality when batch processing large numbers of photographs. "In particular, the AutoMask feature has been significantly improved and gives a high success rate when batch processing high volumes of images." Primatte 5.1 has great new features for all photographers, but the software really excels when used in high volume environments. "With this release of Primatte, we aimed to make life easier for photographers who shoot a lot of green screen images," said Jim Tierney, President of Digital Anarchy. Primatte 5.1 makes productivity and output much easier for event, little league, and school photographers who sometimes process thousands of images.
In this impressive upgrade, Primatte 5.1 lets photographers automatically key out the background, add custom backdrops and color correct all in the Primatte interface.
