About Primatte

Primatte Keyer is one of the most popular chromakey technologies in the world. It has been used for such major motion pictures including Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Harry Potter, King Kong and Spider-Man as well as TV shows, commercials and music videos. Primatte has even found a home in photography and the graphic arts.

The zen of compositing a shot comes in making the foreground and background coexist, and Primatte is designed to sell the realism of your composite. In every chromakey situation, Primatte tackles keying challenges like uneven lighting, compression artifacts, grainy clips, screen seams, subtle shadows and edge light contamination. Primatte is especially great at preserving soft edges like flyaway hair, removing spill without losing image quality, and working around difficult areas like glass, fabric and fur.
