Best Keying Software

I need top of the line keying software (especially for green screen).
Everybody seems to varying opinions. Should it be Primatte.... or what?
Does Color Finese do any kind of "keying" and if it does... is it of any value.
Need to purchase something soon and appreciate the feedback.
Many thanks.

What will you be keying? Shot on what? What's your budget?
DV can be problematic for keying, but this can be gotten around. Shake does an excellent job keying, but you can hardly call a $3000 piece of software a plugin...

  • Setup failed (Could not write value devenv.exe to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BLOCK_CROSS_PROTOCOL_FILE_NAVIGATION)

    Hello, all,
    I encounter a really confused problem while installing Visual Studio 2013 Professional.
    It say Install cannot continue because some required components failed.
    And there is error information given by log file.
    [1868:0558][2015-04-18T00:55:46]i000: MUX:  ExecuteError: Package (vs_devenv) failed: Error Message Id: 1406 ErrorMessage: Could not write value devenv.exe to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BLOCK_CROSS_PROTOCOL_FILE_NAVIGATION.
      Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

    Strange is that I cannot even find the key FEATURE_BLOCK_CROSS_PROTOCOL_FILE_NAVIGATION under
    FeatureControl.
    I have searched in Internet, but no one gives out a effective way to solve this problem.
    Could you help me!!! Thank you very much.

    Hello Forever_fzf,
    The problem is that Visual Studio is trying to write that key to your OS but failed. There are many possible reasons so it is hard to check it just from the above error info, I think you can take the following actions to test whether they can fix your problem:
    1. It is possible the the source(the installer) is corrupt on your OS. So our first step is to check the source. Please download the ISO format and verify its hash checksum sha-1 value by refer to the following page:
    https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs
    2. If the source is alright, check that you are administrator and you have ran the setup as administrator. If you've already checked that and you still do not have privilege when install. We need to refer to the following blog:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-errors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx
    It contains a script, the script will involve subinacl tool to give all registries the Admin privilege, then you will be able to write keys to that registries.
    3. The reigistry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BLOCK_CROSS_PROTOCOL_FILE_NAVIGATION sounds related to IE. May I also know your IE version?

  • What is the best Apple software for special effects

    I am 14 and made a couple of movies with my friends using airsoft guns. I want to make something realistic and do something similar to Freddiew's youtube channel. What is the best Apple software for making keyed effects and then being able to make them look realistic. I have used effects in Imovie and never liked how chessy it looks. Also I can learn programs pretty easy like Unity, Blender, and Xcode.

I have uninstalled but when trying to reinstall I get the error message "could not write value key \software\classes\iTune.wav. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel"  I don't understand what this means, can anyone help please?

    To learn how to defend yourself from the threat of adware read How to install adware.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver movies or other copyrighted content "for free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • What is the best account software for ox lion

    Please let me know what is the best accounting software for ox lion

    Money is very popular, but it's a personal bank account and financial manager app, not business accounting software. There's very few of those to pick from for the Mac that are worth buying.
    QuickBooks for Mac 2013

    Two versions of this one. Check the Pro and Basic features to see which one would suit your needs.

  • Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'

    Server and client are compiled under jsdk 1.3. After a crash on NT workstation installed jsdk 1.4 on it alone. (Did not recompile client to 1.4) All has been well for first few times I ran client on the machine with 1.4 installed. Then client refused to start with following message:
    Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
    has value '1.4', but '1.3' is required.
    Error: could not find java.dll
    Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    Ideas?

    I am guessing after installed jsdk1.4, you ran a few tests on the client before restarting the machine, so your java classes are still happy without knowing the registry key has changed. Then after restart, the registry has been picked up and there you go the complaint.
    I am also guessing JDK1.3 compiled classes should still works in JDK1.4 environment without recompiled, at least in most of the cases. The registry check is some kind of JVM protection agaisnt version misuse. ??
    But all are guessing.

  • SQL Server Management Tools - Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Error code: 1406

    Detailed Results:
    Feature: Management Tools-Basic
    Status: Failed
    Component Name: Sql Server Management Studio
    Component Error code: 1406
    Error Description: Could not write value to key \SOFTWARE. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    The first time the installer worked installing perfectly, but I needed an named instance of "SQL2008", so I removed the instances. After this re-installing is not working.
    From past 3-4 days I went through most of the links which has provided solutions for error code 1406, and not having success for installing.
    I have tried these options,
    1) Ran the installer using "Run as Administrator"option. I am an Administrator user for the machine.
    2) In Registry Editor, right-click HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software, and then click Permissions. Click Add, type Everyone, and then click OK. Under Group or user names, click Everyone. Under Permissions, click to select Full Control in the Allow column, and then
    click OK.
    3) Uninstalled the Sql server product, and used Revo Uninstaller / CCleaner to clean the registry and the remaining files and folders.
    4) Multiple versions of SQL installers have been tried (SQL 2008/2012/2014)
    5) Logged in as local/Administrator for the machine, tried the similar steps.
    6) The same installers are still working in one of the virtual machines for multiple times of installation and uninstallation without having any problems.
    Please let me know, if needed further information. Please provide help for installing SQL server management studio.

  • Score Editor: best key commands for attaching symbols?

    Does anyone have suggestions for the best keys or a logical system of what Key Commands to use for attaching Score symbols.. especially these below?
    [IMG]http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo82/dogliege/ScoreEditorKC.jpg[/IMG]

    well personally i use KCs that most closely resemble the articualtion.
    eg (and very obviously) a stoccato is a full stop. ( . )
    my accent varieties are on the key § which is next to one and i use mofidiers to get the other sorts.
    i use apple brackets for crescendo descrescendo and brackets by themselves for slurs.
    stuff like that. i guess i try to have the most commonly used KC as single stroke, and then for varieties add modifiers.

    From above it seems client tools component is missing from Installation or may be problem with Windows installer but I guess this is not issue with windows installer . Can you re download SQL Server package and run again.
    Edit: For further analysis can you also post log from below location on skydrive
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20140709_104804\sql_ssms_Cpu64_1.log
