THey used to just give it away with the suite but it was never intended to work with the other applications. So for the CS4 release since they wanted to put an emphasis on other areas of the programs. The rumor is that it will be integrated into later versions of the package. It isn't really an emphasised piece of software for the suite since keying iwould usually be handled by the tools in After Effects.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/whats-the-deal-with-adobe-ultra#post-48907 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:37:40 +0000 NormanWillis 48907@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Butterfly and Birdcat (?!),</p> <p>Thank you.  I will check both of those out.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/whats-the-deal-with-adobe-ultra#post-48900 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:24:31 +0000 birdcat 48900@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>There are other options (although I am told Adobe is bringing back a form of Ultra in future product(s) but that reamins to be see as to what and when).</p> <p>Boris has some help - from their web page (<a href="http://www.borisfx.com/tutorials/chroma_key.php">http://www.borisfx.com/tutorials/chroma_key.php</a>): "<em>BCC Chroma Key filter included as a standard feature with BORIS RED.
