I a seeking recommendation on a Premiere Pro CS4 plugin for greenscreen clips submitted in mp4 format. Is Serious Magic 2 a solution?

Serious Magic was bought out by Adobe a loooong time ago.
Is the Ultra keyer inside PPro (which is the Serious Magic keyer) inadequate?

I am currently using CS4. Is Ultra an option in video effects?
Thanks for the quick response.

Ugh…I thought it was in CS4…it came back in CS5. (I’m an Adobe instructor and I’m afraid the versions run together on me sometimes.)
It was a separate application that only ran on Windows in CS3…right after the buyout…but was “in transition” to being integrated and made cross platform during CS4…and then released as an effect in CS5.
If you have AE, Keylight is excellent, though a bit more elaborate.

Tim,
AE Keylights worked fantastic!
Since I have never used AE, I opened clip and applied Keylights. Then I tried to save/export file. Evidently, AE must be similar to Premiere that requires a new creation to set preferences, etc.
The clip I opened was 1920 x 1080, the export option only offered 320 X ?. Later, will see if import Pro project file is option.
Anyway, Can you recommend a good book on AE4 that covers basics plus effects?

The bible on AE is:
Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects: Essential and Advanced Techniques, by Trish & Chris MeyerYou can find an older version that covers cs4.
