Chroma Keying for the Masses: Serious Magic Ultra
Output
Ultra will render the final video to almost any codec that you have installed. You then import this rendered video into your favorite video editing program such as Vegas or Premiere.
Rendering is very fast, but we recommend that you have the fastest CPU and hard drives that money can buy.
Getting Help: Tutorials And Forums
The manual is easy to understand, and has many tutorials to guide you through your chroma keying journey. In addition, the Serious Magic support site has more than a dozen additional tutorials. You won't be able to access the support site, however, until you register Ultra.
After registering you are also given the opportunity to enter the private Serious Magic forums. This is a great place to ask for help as most answers are usually posted within a few minutes. Unlike other message forums, every user must use his or her real first and last name, which helps keep the riff-raff down. Users can access forums not just for Ultra, but also to get advice on many related topics, such as camcorder suggestions or beta testing participation.
