dvGarage Announces New Version of dvMatte Pro 3.0 Studio for Apple Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and Motion 2 or Higher Powerful Chromakeying Software with High-performance GPU Acceleration Removes Blue or Green Screen Background in Real Time (March 05, 2008) DMN Newswire--2008-3-5--dvGarage, a provider of tools and training for the next generation of media artists, today announced that dvMatte Pro 3.0 Studio, the newest version of the company?s powerful chromakeying software, is now available for Apple Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and Apple Motion 2 or higher. Utilizing Apple?s FxPlug technology to combine chromakeying with high-performance Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration, dvMatte Pro 3.0 Studio allows Apple Final Cut Pro and Motion users to remove green and blue screen backgrounds from digital video (DV), high definition video (HDV) or high definition (HD) footage in real time.

?dvMatte Pro is the fastest and easiest way to key digital footage in Final Cut Pro,? comments Alex Lindsay, founder and chief architect of dvGarage. ?Unlike most other keyers, dvMatte uses both the color and luma information to create much cleaner edges. With a 3 Pass, super-fast keyer, dvMatte uses a color difference keyer, a hybrid luminance keyer, and an edge protection keyer, allowing the software to produce some of the smoothest mattes you will ever see on digital footage ? all in real-time.?

Key features in dvMatte include:
* 3 Pass, Super-Fast Keyer - dvMatte Pro 3 uses two color differences keyers and a hybrid luminance keyer to produce some of the smoothest mattes ever seen on digital footage in record time
* Built-in Spill Suppression ? dvMatte not only knocks out the background, it actually knocks out the spill; automatically!
* Color Matching Plug-in ? Match foreground and background color in just a few clicks
* Built-in Edge Blending ? dvMatte?s edge blending controls takes composites to the next level
* Built-in Light Wrap Plug-in ? This easy-to-use feature will make anyone look like a pro even if they?re just getting started
* New Screen Fix Plug-in ? Truly a ?silver bullet? for hard-to-key images, this plug-in will clean greenscreen footage when used with a clean plate
