Third Party Chroma Keyer for Vegas?
Is there one that is better than the one in Vegas 6?
Thanks!

The chromakeyer in Vegas is really good, unless like me you sometimes have problems properly lighting the background (separate from the subject, bright and perfectly even). I was able to save my a__ on an important project by using Serious Magic’s Ultra, a program just for chromakeying. It’s particularly good at getting rid of the jagged edges and background color reflections on the subject.

Mary,
Thanks for the info. Is Ultra a stand alone program or a plugin for Vegas? I do alot of work in Poser, a character modeling/animation program. I typically choose a color for the background that appears to be much different from any on the character. But I sometimes still have problems with the background color “sticking” to the contours of the character’s body. For instance, I chose a monochromatic sky blue for my background and no matter how much I tweaked the video, some blue stuck to the dark brown hair of the character, unless, of course, I was willing to take out some of the the character itself.
Another complaint: I used my sky blue background on a lavender shirt and the chromakeyer in Vegas 6 turned it into red. Now this may just be a bug, because I never had the problem of actually changing a color in Vegas 3 which I recently upgraded from.

Nevermind. I notice that Ultra is standalone. Thanks again….

I suggest using Combustion 4 or Ultimatte. You will be amazed with Combustion 4‘s Diamond Keyer, the 2nd Generation keyer…
