Richmond, VA -- Digital Dominion, the PC division of Nova Design, Inc., announced that their Photoshop for Windows compatible plug-in, Cinematte is now available for Newtek's Aura package.

Cinematte is the acclaimed blue screening plug-in that allows you to composite images together while maintaining proper anti-aliasing, transparency and keeping all the fine details that other compositing methods just won't allow.

Blue Screening for Video and Film
Cinematte represents a major step forward for the Windows platform in achieving completely professional compositing results for blue screening for video and film.

Cinematte offers the user a choice of keying out blue, green, or red screen backgrounds, and a wealth of controls that allow users to maintain soft edges, fine details, shadows, transparencies and more. Since a typical user of blue screening software often has to work with whatever footage they're given, Cinematte also has special controls to allow you to make corrections for bad lighting and unwanted artifacts on the screen itself. Cinematte's proprietary AI algorithms can automatically determine your screen color and let you correct for unevenly lit, underlit or overlit screens as well. Cinematte's blue spill tools are among the best available as well.

With the new Aura version of Cinematte, users will be able to use Aura's powerful frame sequence and layer tools to composite blue screened elements onto any other sequence of video needed!

Simple Chromakeying is no substitute for a top-notch bluescreen-keying package like Cinematte. Chromakeying won't give you the high quality that Cinematte can give you.
