ReflecMedia Mattenee

I bought a ReflecMedia screen and tried out their Mattenee software for the keying with my HVX200 footage. I think the screen and the software are both nice products and everything has worked well together so far. I look forward to using Mattenee without the very annoying cow drawings inserted all over the place that they put in the trial software. The drawings which actually almost deterred me from buying the product because it was so hard to see the keyed results through.

I just wanted to let anyone else know who may not have the luxury of time, that once you buy Mattenee you still can't use it instantly, even after you get the disk in the mail. So don't plan on buying it today and using it today (or maybe even tomorrow depending on the specifics of when you send the email). This is the first time I've ever not been able to use purchased software instantly, and why I'm so surprised.

You still have to go through a series of steps with the final one being visiting a link that they put in the User_Guide.pdf to enter in 5 lines of information.

After you visit the link and enter in the required information you then have to wait for them to send you the license key. Their web site stated something to the effect of contact us if you don't get the license key within 24 hours.

Mattenee looks to be a great Final Cut Pro Plug-In program that allows a simple "drag & drop" straight from within your FCP Browser>Effects tab. It also works with Premiere, AE and Shake. I'm looking forward to using it sometime within the next 24 hours I hope. If any of you are using ReflecMedia for GreenScreen work, you ought to try it out.
