MTV chose mokey version 3

Imagineer Systems have announced that MTV On-Air Promos have purchased mokey version 3.
The purchase will allow MTV to overcome problems it has encountered when trying to key musicians out of shots taken from a variety of locations and place them on the same stage. Tight deadlines mean that traditional rotoscoping methods were not an option, hence MTV's decision to use mokey Imagineer System's software tool for 2D tracking, wire & rig removal, motion keying, stabilization and grain management.
MTV chose to work with mokey having followed its progress. With the release of version 3, MTV decided to intergrate it into its existing toolset. Nicolas Sarudiansky, Senior Editor for MTV On-Air Promos comments on the ease of using mokey: "It is pretty amazing what mokey is able to do. We had both film and video footage from different sources and we wanted to key off the musicians to place them all in one location. mokey's ability to generate a clean plate clip of the background and a key for the people in the foreground is simply stunning."
