FEATURES
- Platform protection
AdvantEdge users get twice the flexibility because it comes ready
to go to work on Windows NT/2000/XP, Mac OS 9/OS X, and Red Hat Linux
for the one low price.
- Stylish user interface with automated controls
The user interface has been designed to automate the control settings
by easily sampling different parts of the image or matte with
a simple eyedropper cursor. Once a sample has been taken the software
automatically
sets multiple
controls to find the best adjustment.
- Fully-linear mask
Eliminates hard edges -- fine detail, blurred images, transparencies
and shadows visible in the foreground image will all reproduce
in the final composite.
- Video Correction
AdvantEdge is the world’s first matte generation tool with
video correction filtering (VCF) for the 4:1:1, 4:2:0, and even
4:2:2 digital
video formats.
VCF restores the lost color information in compressed video
formats and greatly reduces the blocky artifacts found in most
blue/greenscreen
composites
using DV footage.
- Advanced Spill Suppression and Clean Up controls
Automatically removes discoloration of foreground subjects caused
by light reflecting from the blue or green stage. Removing
excessive backing
color spill from the foreground subject has been automated
by sampling the contaminated area with the eyedropper cursor and
watching
AdvantEdge
wash
away the spill. Also Matte Clean Up now has individual controls
for softening and shrinking the matte.
- Roto Screen Correction
A revolutionary method for making poorly shot footage usable by
automatically creating an articulate roto-mask to isolate the
foreground
without the tedious and labor intensive work of traditional rotoscoping.
- Smart
Matte Sizing
A totally new approach to computing the matte density without allowing
the matte to become over dense. Over dense mattes are
the most common mistake made in creating traveling mattes. With
Smart Matte Sizing
it is virtually
impossible to over dense the matte.
- Color Conformance
Matches the look of the foreground to the background for absolute
realism.
- External matte
Allows overlaying an externally-generated mask to "extend" the
blue or green screen so that wide-angle and long
shots can be composited even though they overshoot the screen.
