  • Watch Out. Ultimatte plug in does not work with Intel Macs.

    Posted by Dan Riley on December 21, 2006 at 2:59 am

    Their site is ambiguous. The USB Key info says it DOES work with
    Intel Macs, but the plug in itself does not.
    I made the mistake of ASSuming.
    Don’t make my mistake.

    And after talking with them today, they don’t even have plans to
    make it Universal. Talk about “head in the sand” company!
    Sucks too because the keys I’ve tried on my G5 FCP setup
    are fantastic. But we are moving away from that box to do
    HD and are buying MacPros.

    I don’t know if it’ll suit your needs, but Boris Continuum Complete has a damn good keyer and it’s FCP friendly. The odd Boris interface comes standard.

    There’s that new conduit thingy that I have not really checked out for myself. Their interface looks like it’d take some getting used to as well. They also offer a free keying tutorial that you can watch now.

    I’m sure these have free downloadable demos.

    This is the only keyer I’ve used through the years. With the Mac Pro you must use BCC4 and you’ll need to download the script to fix an issue with it on the Intel Machines. If you simply install it without running the script, FCP will crash everytime you try to use the Boris 3D title tool.
