Best 32 bit Chroma keyer

[Russ Froze]

Lets put it this way, Whatever FX the other have like lens flairs, light wrap, color correction and so on. All those were pioneered by a compositor like fusion (Win, Linux and soon Mac) or Nuke on a Mac. Lets not forget Flame or scratch. Mostly these compositors create or set the trends for which plugins are created and sold en mass to those who need a shortcut or plain don’t know how. There are free plug ins, free scripts and macros and once a thriving community supporting Fusion. And to answer the question, if you do not know how to create your own light wrap there are two tools that come with the free version of Fusion. Also included are background templates, lens flairs a state of the art color corrector. Mocha Tracking import, an internal tracker that is no slouch. Blurs, glows, roto tools and a real robust 3D systems complete with lighting and model import for fbx or most 3d model software. And yes 3d text. Camera projections and on and on. I’ve been using the program since 2010 and still only scratch the surface of it’s abilities. Looking at what other artists do with it is always astounding.

I’ll have to check out Fusion once they have a Mac version. It sounds interesting Russ.

Hi Russ, thanks for details & Fusion sounds a great program and looking forward to test driving it in my limited way once I have the time and hardware. One thing you said that intrigued me was ‘those that don’t know how to make their own light wrap’ – I’m certainly one of those, is making a light wrap something that can be done manually with basic tools?

Hi Russ, sorry I wasn’t meaning to pester you or move off topic I was just responding, like chatting I suppose, and was just curious at some aspects at all the great support & info you have provided; a lot of which is new to me and I’m sure others that will read it following on. Thank you also for the further contact, but I’ll leave it there though and research it a bit myself first and maybe come back on your generous offer of email contact if it is some I actually try and do and get stuck on!
Kind regards for all your support, it has been extremely helpful

Yes we were chatting, best to so that in private where I will be glad to answer your questions. If you want to pick my brain then this is a good time for I’m between projects. When I pick one up I am consumed by it, so getting my attention then might prove challenging.
