 dvMatte, the
universal choice for fast and easy keying of digital footage — now
available for Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro!
Finally! With a little magic from dvGarage partner
Ben Syverson, a no-nonsense, screaming fast keyer, that can
handle everything from DV to HDV to HD! dvMatte Blast is nothing short
of a breakthrough in keying technology. Never before has such an
inexpensive solution been capable of such stunning results.
Written for Apple’s brand new FxPlug architecture,
dvMatte Blast uses the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to achieve high
quality, realtime keys on the desktop. You can literally key HD footage
while it's playing! Sure, you can do the same thing with hardware
keyers and super expensive software...but until now not with a $99
plug-in for a $299 application on a desktop machine.
Testimonials About
dvMatte Pro 1.5...
Somewhere in expertland, the ER is treating a rash of cases of chin burn
from mouths falling open and scraping on the carpet when they see what your
plug-in can do. Thank you for a killer plug-in, modestly priced, accurately
described, not over-hyped, that actually does what it claims it will do.

dvMatte Blast makes it easy to get great keys in no time.
It’s optimized for digital footage so edges are much cleaner than in
many other more expensive (and much slower) keyers.
Key Features
3 Pass, Super Fast Keyer - dvMatte uses a color difference
keyer, a hybrid luminance keyer, and an edge protection keyer,
to produce some of the smoothest mattes you will ever see on digital
footage — all in record time.
Built-in Spill Suppression - dvMatte not only knocks out the
background, it actually knocks out the spill... automatically.
For DV, there is simply no close second—most
people don’t even think you can key DV footage! dvMatte
changes everything. You will be doing great composites in record time.
Don’t take our word for it!

Here’s how it works...
While we think of color images on our computer as RGB, in video...the
building blocks of the image are usually referred to as "YUV". Y is the
luma information and is usually full resolution. The U and V channels hold
the color information for the image and are usually scaled down to reduce
the file size of the video. The ratio of this scaling is usually represented
as 4:2:2, which means for every 4 pixels of Y (luma), there are only 2 pixels
of U and V...this is normal for video footage though DV is further reduced
to 4:1:1.
As it turns out, this is usually fine. We are remarkably forgiving about
the color in an image if the luma (the black and white information) is
sharp. Unfortunately for those of us who need to key the footage, this
is a real problem. Keying relies on the color information, which, in
digital footage, is one-half or one-quarter the resolution of the image.
Unlike most other keyers, dvMatte uses both the color information
and the luma information to create much cleaner edges that simply
aren’t possible any other way.
If you’ve got 1 shot or 100 that need fast, accurate digital keying, dvMatte
is what you've been looking for! Keying digital footage has never
been easier!
What’s the difference between dvMatte Blast and dvMatte Pro?
dvMatte Blast is built for speed. We took out many of the features that
would slow it down and just kept the most important tools. dvMatte
Blast does not have built-in light wrap, color matching and some of the
fine controls in dvMatte Pro. Many people won't know the difference
or will be too addicted to the speed to care. For those that really
want to tweak their keys, dvMatte Pro is there for you. But if you
need to key 50 head shots in a day, dvMatte Blast is there to make
sure you get home in time for dinner.
