Wow that looks great. Kinda pricey but great.
Thanks |
It is great, but keep in mind it's a standalone app, not a Vegas plug-in.

Thanks for the suggestion. But it sounds like some people are having some problems with it. Like it still suffers from many of the same problems as a regular chroma key app (green spill, transparency issues, ect). Kind has me worried. I probably should try he demo first but I currently don't have anything to key out to try it on.
I guess my big question is though, is it really all that much better then the kind of chroma key work you can do with After Effects or FXhome's Chrominator? Especially if you're like me and have low ceilings and only photoflood bulbs for lights. You have to understand I've never really done any keying before, and now I want to take my personal filmmaking to a another level. But I have limited space and resources, so whatever program is going to make that easiest and most effective for me, wins. I mean it is expensive but if it really does work wonders I'm willing to pay the price. But if it's only marginally better then say Chrominator then I'd rather save the $300 and get that. Oh well I should just shoot something and try the demo I guess. |
People who are complaining about spill don’t know how to shoot for chroma key. You MUST have your subject at least 5 feet from the screen and light the screen separately from the subject. It also helps if you backlight the subject to separate them from the background and perhaps use a complimentary color gel so that it further reduces the spill (although Ultra 2 has a pretty good spill suppressor). No chroma keyer in the world is going fix the fact that you have green reflected all over your subject. You need to learn how to light for chroma key.

Ultra 2 also comes with a variety of virtual sets which I us a lot. They have built in camera tracking on some of them which adds to your production value. Additional sets cost $395 so I have to believe a large amount of the initial price is going to the virtual set that comes with it. Quote:
