Matanee - a Step Further for Chromakeying

Chromatte has been developed to work with any hardware or software keying devices and this platform independency remains one of the it's biggest benefits - allowing you to shoot against Chromatte and perform a key using your existing tools. mattenee however takes the benefits of Chromatte one step further! Together with one the UK's leading compositing software developers 'The Pixel Farm', Reflecmedia have launched a range of Chromatte software plug-ins for both non-linear edit and compositing applications.

Overview

Unlike existing software-based keyers, most commonly supplied with the parent application, mattenee plug-ins are specifically written to work with Chromatte. The custom-written algorithm behind mattenee recognises the narrow width of colour returned by Chromatte and therefore simplifies the keying process.

By relocating the colour and the light into one camera-mounted device, we have significantly reduced the set-up time and overcome many of the difficulties associated with conventional chroma key.

Features

The intelligent process automatically senses the LiteRing colour and generates an immediate key that is 90% towards the finished result - allowing you to alter the contrast of the matte, detect and clean any noise, plus adjust the automatic colour settings if you think it is required.

Like Chromatte the mattenee product range focuses on ease, the most popular frustration when keying is not knowing where to start when it comes to perfecting the effect. mattenee's simple to use, yet highly effective controls allow accurate manipulation with minimal effort.
