Professional blue screen effects software for DV images

Ultimatte Corporation have announced AdvantEdge, a professional level blue screen matte extraction and compositing plug-in. AdvantEdge is a software product that provides a comprehensive solution for creating stunning blue screen visual effects within Adobe, Apple, Avid, Discreet and other leading graphics applications.
AdvantEdge includes Ultimatte's new Video Correction filter, designed and developed by Zbig Rybcynski, Research Engineer for Ultimatte, to reduce the artifacts found in 4:2:2, 4:1:1, and 4:2:0 video image formats. The clean and modern UI design is filled with other innovative features including; Separate Shadow Mattes, Smart Matte Sizing, and Roto-Screen Correction. These powerful new features will appeal to individuals who have never used blue screen tools before, as well as artists who want to advance their capabilities beyond the limited scope of industry standard chroma keyers.
AdvantEdge enables the user to quickly create and edit blue screen composites by simply scrubbing the cursor within different areas of the foreground, background, and matte. The entire image is then analyzed and AdvantEdge automatically calculates optimum settings for several different parameters simultaneously. This powerful analysis allows AdvantEdge to have a very simple user interface without sacrificing flexibility and image control. The final result is a composite that preserves the fine details like hair, smoke, and motion-blurred edges with a minimum of compromises.
