Chroma Key Software for Mac

I'm interested in doing chroma key for live broadcasts. I have a video mixer and the green screen. I know I need a computer as well, so I was wondering what software anyone can recommend that will work well with my new mac.

What is the best chroma key software for a Mac?

I have the lighting, the green screen...all I need now is the software. I'm led to believe there is a better program than Photoshop for use with chroma keying...I just need some suggestions! Anyone?

If you're doing stills and not working in video Photoshop will be more than adequate for what you need. But, unless you're going to drop your subject onto a greenish sort of background, I would stay away from greenscreen and go for a tone that will give you contrast around your subject and a color that is in the same vicinity of what you're going to be using later. Unless you really know what you're doing, and often when you do, you are bound to get some degree of wraparound from the background, and if that wraparound is green, it will only complicate your project.
Having done more of these projects that I care to think about or even remember, take my advice... or not.
The masking tools built in to Photoshop CS5 are really pretty good now. That's what I would use, but if you don't have the latest version or haven't mastered them yet, there are several third party masking programs you can try. Fluid Mask, MaskPro and Ultimatte Knockout come to mind. Ultimatte was the tool of choice for a long time but has suffered from zero support or updating from Corel. The other two offer 30 day trials. Have fun.

What is the least expensive quality chroma key software...?

Also, I'm correct that using chroma key does not require that you go frame by frame, right?

You shouldn't really need 3rd party software, as FCP and FCE both come with decent keying filters, but I have heard good things of the FxFactory. I believe that software does keying (among other things).
And yes, as long as your green/blue/whatever background doesn't change in hue/saturation/luma inside the clip, you should not have to keyframe.

Reco for 3rd party Chroma-keying software (Ultimatte or better)

Does anyone have any experience of working with Ultimatte AdvantEdge Chroma Key Software? I'm looking for something that will key nicely in post and perform better than the built-in doo-dah in our beloved FCP (not that there's anything too wrong with that). Meanwhile footage-wise, everything is stunningly lit (flat where it should flat, even where it should be even, excellent color temperature, etc). It couldn't be shot any better. God, it is soooo beautiful. And the costumes, simply breathtaking... wonderful color balance and choices. This was shot and designed by true creative geniuses.
But I digress. So, if anyone has an info about Advantage or any other chroma-keying software drop me a note.
Oh, and please no "should ofs" I'm just the bleedin' editor. And by the way... did I mention the footage is stunningly beautiful?
Thanks

I have five keyers including Ultimatte, which is pricey.
I prefer dvmatte pro from dvxgarage, which isn't pricey

Best Screen Recording Software for Mac?

Looking for recommendations on a good computer screen recording program, as I'm trying to make a tutorial video, and need to be able to record what I am doing on my computer screen.
Would prefer free, but don't mind paying a bit - quality is most important. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

2nd vote:
without doubt - Screenflow
why ?
because, it is not only a 'grabber', but it includes an 'editor', drop-dead-simple as iMovie, which includes many features ESPECIALLY made for tutorials - e.g. you can zoom-in after recording without quality-loss, you can change cursor-size, highlite, 'print' pressed keys on screen, add a pic-in-pic (if you like your face in your tuts ) ..
side-note: screen-grabs are off the standards, iM or FinalCut/express support! so, a built-in editor is a ++ ! (the exports/uploads from a SF-project are superb!)
not cheap, but worth every cent!

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

Handbrake is the way to go.
Quicktime Pro does not have the ability to rip and convert DVDs.

Word processing with citations software for Mac?

What is your choice for word processign with citations software for Mac? I am a graduate student. So, being able to enter citations and compile a bibliography/works cited pages is a must.
In the past I have always used MS Word, as I was a WIndows user in the past. Pages doesn't seem to have the same capabilities as Word. I have read a little about using Endnote and Bookends with Pages.
What is your preference, and why?

Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.
Hillman

Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device. And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB. Can anyone shed any light on this?

You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
"The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

Hi choochoo2,
Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.

Destktop software for Mac

Hello,
I recently posted a request for some help with Destop software for Macs in regard to trying to sync iCal with the Blackberry calendar on a Blackberry Torch 9800, and realised only after the post had been moved to another forum by the Moderator that I had posted in the wrong forum ie the Torch forum rather than the Desktop software forum. I apologise.
However, the post has been put into a forum or on a board that appears to be locked so that although the post can be viewed no one can now reply to me. I would therefore be grateful if anyone could advise me where to repost this query, whilst observing the correct protocols, in the hope that someone will be able to help me.
My original post is at the link below.

Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

hi...
I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
thanks

Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
Look on the forum for additional details.
Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!
