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

    My bank (Chase) and my wife's payroll provider (ADP) say I can no longer pull our statements because of incompatibilities between Adobe Reader and Safari. The Apple site says it is not responsible for for 3rd party software. Adobe says go back to Safari 5.0. Apple dosen't let me download Safari 5.0; so what do I do. The bank had me download Chrome, and I can now download my statements. but what a pain. Any suggestios?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • 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.

    Mike,
    If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
    Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
    Quit LPX
    Open Finder
    Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
    Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
    Now Restart your Mac.....
    and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
    Fingers crossed...

  • "Software Update" for 3rd Party Apps?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of an application that could act like Software Update for 3rd party programs, so that a list of updatable applications shows and you can select to download them all at once?
    I know some do an update check on launch, but I was just wondering if there was a more convenient way?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Yes, but no. App Update is a widget that will check for updated versions of your apps. It can be found at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/appupdate.html. Unfortunately, it won't install them for you, but will give you links to websites where you can download the newest version. I use it and like it. Give it a try!

  • Anyone know the website for 3rd party software mentioned in PSE 6?  I've lost the insert.

    Anyone know the website for 3rd party software mentioned in PSE 6 package?  (I lost the insert.)

    No, but thanks.  I'm looking not for an Adobe website, but the website of the supplier of 3rd-party software that adds 4 functions
    to PSE 6.  I've tried to contact Adobe, but as with so many of our leading companies, it's just not possible to get a human who
    can answer a "customer service" question unless it's contained in a phone menu.

  • Early Warning for 3rd party software issues

    We have Vertex set up but have occasional timing, connection issues, etc.
    Does anyone have configured an early warning configured for 3rd party software?
    Looking for solutions or suggestions.

    Why can't Apple have their own interface for Windows mobile applications instead of having to purchase Mark Space.
    Hang on... Why should Apple provide their own interface for syncing Microsoft Windows Mobile-based phones? Microsoft don't provide support for Apple's phones do they?
    Microsoft have chosen to use their own proprietary and incompatible syncing methods to sync their own operating systems. It stands to reason you'd be able to sync a Windows Mobile-based phone with a Windows desktop OS.
    why have I got to purchase third party Nova software to sync my N95 8GB
    You haven't got to. Nokia provides their own support via a free iSync Plugin for that phone here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/mac/isync/
    If you're having problems with that, then Nokia are the people to contact - not Apple. But from your other post it appears you're having problems with installing it, not using it, and that's most likely because you've moved iSync.

  • SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching

    Hi,
    We're getting ready to tackle the phenomena known as Java patching, and I was wondering if I could get your personal preference; SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching?
    I probably should give a little background on my environment; It's a university atmosphere, so unless it's policy, you have to ask nicely...can't tell people to do things they don't want to; multiple version of required versions of Java for what ever reason,
    which need to be identified, grouped together, and then upgrade as much as possible without breaking their old applications.
    I was thinking that Application Management probably made more sense where it is more robust, especially for removing multiple installs of Java on a single system, but Software Updates/SCUP looks like it was built for this type of patching, so I'm a bit confused
    why SCCM would have two components which essentially did the same thing.
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    For Java version management specifically you can already achieve a lot by using the Application Model in CM12.
    You can define supersedence between the different versions, just make sure to opt for uninstall of the older version when defining it.

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

    What is the least expensive chroma key software for the mac...
    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.

  • Wht is Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales

    wht is Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales

    Customize the third party sales in summary:
    1. Create Vendor XK01
    2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
    3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
    4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background 
    5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
    6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO 
    7. Goods receipt MIGO 
    8. Goods issue
    9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

  • ATP for 'Stock in transit' for 3rd Party scenario

    We have a scenario:
    For warehouse replenishments an STO is created and then a delivery is subsequently created for the STO. Once the delivery has been shipped out of the manufacturing facility (post goods issued) the materials on the delivery are transferred from unrestricted-stock at the manufacturing facility to stock-in-transit at the receiving warehouse. Once the stock is in transit to the third-party warehouses, ATP should then take it into consideration when deliveries are created from the third-party warehouses to customers.
    Now how to take the ATP check for 3rd party del. into consideration for STO?
    STO document type is UD
    Goods issue movement type is 641
    Goods receipt movement type is 101

    Some useful info here..

  • BRFPlus - license with NW fundation for 3rd party - SAP PO applies ?

    Hi,
    I got the impression that in order to use BRFPlus we need to have SAP NW fundation license for 3rd party,
    does anyone know, if we have SAP PO (process orchestration) which has a restricted SAP NW fundation license for 3rd party
    (to be used only with BPM, PI and BRM), can we use BRFPlus from PI ?
    Thank you for any comments,
    Regards,
    Michal Krawczyk

    Hi Michal,
    no idea about the licensing question, but I think you need an additional license due to the Java stack, but this has to be answered by an expert of SAP.
    Concerning the usage of BRFplus from PI: The only way I know to use the BRFplus functions from PI is via webservices generated out of the functions.
    The other way round is a little more comfortable as you can use the BRMS Connector expression.

  • Procedure for 3rd Party

    Dear Experts,
    We have some 3rd party vendor from where we purchase FG. And the transaction is like that we give PO to 3rd party. They pack the material as per our BOM provide in mail. Then they supply the material at our stock point and our stock point do the GRN. but in this case we are unable to track the BOM of some products as no production order or SAP activity is done at third end. So kindly confirm me how we should maintain the BOM for 3rd party without plant code generation,
    Or else suggest me how to do this transaction in the best way so that at any time we can be able to trace that so as so batches was packed in so and so packing material.
    Regards,
    Phalgun Patel

    Phalgun,
    It is unclear to me why you need to 'plan' a BOM for the Vendor.  In standard 3rd party processing, all you do is place a PO with the vendor, and the Vendor delivers the product directly to your customer. Batch numbers used are created by the vendor, according to the terms of your contract.  You are unconcerned how he internally plans his order, and he never actually sends his output to you.   He is solely responsible for procuring any RM or services required to fill your PO, and for fulfilling any batching and traceability requirements contained in the contract.  Any Doc you send to him about BOM is not for you to use for planning purposes, it is part of the contract specifications.
    So, can you be a little more specific exactly why the vendor is delivering material to you, and why you need a BOM.
    Best Regards,
    DB49

  • Code Signing for 3rd Party DLLs in MPR certfication

    Dear Team,
    I am currently performing MPR test with my Web Application using Windows Server 2012 R2 platform.
    While verifiying test results, i got failed in the validating digital signature for 3rd party binaries(DLL).
    The DLLs are Ajaxcontroltoolkit.dll, interop.Excel.dll etc.,
    Whether Signed DLLs are exists for Ajax Libraries?? If Signed DLLs exists for Ajax Libraries, is it advisable to request Microsoft support team for getting Signed DLL through mail? (or)
    Can i include this point as a waiver in document during test results submission??
    Regarding Interop DLL's is it advisable to include DLL's in waiver request document??
    Kindly review and suggest comments

    Hello,
    When an MPR Test fails due only to 3rd party binaries, please create a Test Results Package, upload to MPR site, complete and send a waiver for review.
    List all failing binaries in the waiver, grouping by their respective owner.
    Thank you,

  • End to End Monitoring confiuguration for 3rd party systems

    Hi,
    I have been trying to racking up materials for end-end configurations for 3rd party systems and can't find any..All the ABAP  systems are perfectly configured in our End-End Monitoring system but can't find any of the third party systems..Is there a seperate method to configure 3rd party systems?
    -Teresa

    Hi Teresa,
    You can't include 'Third Party' systems in end-to-end monitoring. We had raised a SAP note for the same and below is SAP response..
    "End-to-end monitoring stands for the functionality included as of 6.40 that enables you to track XI messages accross several systems. This functionality can be configured for all components that are able
    to contribute information to this process monitoring, i.e. only SAP systems can be configuered."
    Also check this from online help..
    "The Runtime Workbench receives the data for end-to-end monitoring from the Process Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI), which is an SAP monitoring tool for monitoring end-to-end technical processes involving multiple SAP components."
